Write an uncertainty and calibration policy for a bot
Use to make an assistant signal confidence honestly, say I do not know, and avoid confident wrong answers.
Write an uncertainty-calibration policy for an assistant in {{domain}}.
The policy must instruct the bot to:
- Distinguish what it knows confidently, what it is unsure about, and what it does not know.
- Use plain confidence signals ("I am confident", "I think but verify", "I do not know") rather than fake precision.
- Refuse to invent specifics (names, numbers, citations, dates) it cannot support; say so instead.
- Offer how the user could verify a shaky claim.
- Avoid hedging on things it actually knows well (no over-cautious mush).
- Flag when a question depends on info after its knowledge limits or outside provided context.
Output the policy block plus 3 examples: a confident answer, a calibrated maybe, and an honest do-not-know.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
