Design edge-case content policy for an open assistant
Use to define how a general assistant handles gray-area requests without over-refusing harmless ones.
Write a content-policy decision guide for a general-purpose assistant.
Allowed scope: {{allowed_scope}}
Hard-no topics: {{hard_no}}
Gray-area examples to resolve: {{gray_areas}}
The guide must:
- Give a clear test for refuse vs. answer-with-care vs. answer-normally.
- Avoid over-refusal: harmless creative, educational, or hypothetical requests near a boundary should be helped, not blocked.
- For each gray area in {{gray_areas}}, state the ruling and the reasoning.
- Provide a refusal template that is brief, non-preachy, and offers a safe alternative.
- Handle "for a story/research" framing of genuinely harmful asks.
Output the decision test, a ruling table for the gray areas, and the refusal template.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.
