The Synergistic Effect of the 5-Layer Prompt System

The Synergistic Effect of the 5-Layer Prompt System

The power of this 5-layer Prompt system lies not only in the unique role of each layer but also in their synergistic effect. When you master this system proficiently, you can create a truly intelligent, efficient, and deeply personalized AI assistant.

The Structure of the 5-Layer Prompt System

Each layer has its specific functions and roles:

1. Core Layer: User Requirement
2. System Layer: Official Code of Conduct (System Prompt)
3. Global Layer: Project Rule Setting (Global Rule)
4. Decomposition Layer: Task Decomposition and Execution (Task Decomposition)
5. Style Layer: Output Form Adjustment (Output Style) This progressive structure allows us to precisely control the behavior and output of AI, thereby achieving the best interaction effect.

Building Your AI Empire: Practical Application of the 5-Layer Prompt System

Case: Smart Home System Product Planning

Disassembling complex requirements into atomic Prompt components is the key to mastering this system. Suppose you are a product manager in a multinational technology company, planning the next-generation smart home system. You can apply the 5-layer Prompt system as follows:

1. User RequirementDesign a product plan for the next-generation smart home system, including:

• List of core functions (at least 10 items)
• Innovation points and market differentiation advantages of each function
• Potential technical challenges and solutions
• Analysis of target user groups
• Preliminary pricing strategy
• Product iteration roadmap for the next 3 years

1. System PromptUtilize Claude’s built-in knowledge base, no need to explain what smart home is or basic product management concepts.
2. Global RuleIn all analyses:

• Prioritize user privacy and data security
• Focus on product sustainability and energy efficiency
• Provide data-supported market insights
• Consider cultural differences and regulatory requirements in different regions of the world

1. Project Custom InstructionCreate a “Smart Home Innovation” project and upload:

• The company’s past product data and user feedback
• The latest smart home market research reports
• Product analysis of major competitors
• The company’s technical patent library Instructions: AI should refer to the above materials when generating ideas.

1. Styles

• ‘Innovative Brainstorming’: Generate creative ideas (example):“Imagine a smart mirror that not only displays time and weather but also actively provides dressing suggestions and health reminders based on schedule and health data. It can detect emotional states, automatically adjust lights and music when users are tired, and interconnect with other smart devices to become a central console for smart homes.”
• ‘Rigorous Analysis’: Data-driven technical and market analysis (example):“According to market research, the penetration rate of smart mirrors in the high-end smart home market is expected to grow from 5% to 15% in the next 3 years. The driving factors include increased health awareness (40%), demand for home aesthetics (30%), and integration needs (30%). The technical challenge lies in cost control for the combination of high-definition display and mirror, with the current industry average cost being $500 per square meter, and the goal is to reduce it to $350 through innovative materials.” Investment Analysis of Floating Offshore Wind Power Technology

According to a BloombergNEF (BNEF) report, global floating offshore wind power installed capacity is expected to reach 40.6 GW by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 98% (Source: BNEF 2023 Offshore Wind Outlook Report).

Technical Advantages

1. Can be deployed in sea areas with water depth exceeding 60 meters, significantly expanding the development area
2. Deep-sea wind energy density is 25-30% higher than that in offshore areas (IEA data) Key Investment Considerations

• Cost: Currently 30-50% higher than fixed offshore wind power, but cost parity is expected to be achieved by 2030 due to large-scale production
• Policy: The EU has included floating wind power in its strategy, aiming to install 300 GW of offshore wind power (including a large amount of floating type) by 2050
• Risk: The long-term reliability of the anchoring system and adaptability to extreme weather need further verification Potential Investment Opportunities

1. Equipment manufacturers: Equinor (Norway), Principle Power (USA) - leading in floating foundation design
2. Installation and maintenance services: Bourbon (France) - focusing on offshore wind power services
3. Material suppliers: Hexcel (USA) - providing lightweight and high-strength composite materials for floating platforms Risk Assessment

• Regulatory risk: Medium (policy support but complex approval processes)
• Technical risk: Medium-high (rapid technological iteration, with the possibility of disruptive innovation)
• Market risk: Medium (strong demand but increasing competition) Investment Suggestion: It is recommended that investment in floating offshore wind power account for 10-15% of the renewable energy portfolio, focusing on enterprises with leading technology and sound financial conditions.

Practical Scenario Applications

• Content creation field:In the writing process, switch different styles through Styles (such as professional reports / creative copy), set the content framework with Global Rule (such as word count / structure requirements), and guide AI to complete chapter creation with refined User Requirement. Data analysis field:Import datasets and analysis models with Project Custom Instruction, clarify analysis dimensions (such as trend prediction / anomaly detection) through User Requirement, and generate technical reports (including model parameters) and popular interpretations (visual charts + business insights) using Styles.

Conclusion: Core Competitiveness in the AI Era

In an AI-driven world, the real advantage does not lie in AI itself, but in the ability to control AI. As Kevin Kelly said: “Robots will not replace humans, but people who know how to use robots will replace those who do not.” Mastering Claude’s 5-layer Prompt system is to forge core competitiveness for oneself towards the future.
