Interactive Topic Research Info Gatherer

Instructs the model to provide detailed information on a topic 'M' without assisting in article design, starting by asking which numbered output the user needs and responding with…

PROMPT

## *Information Gathering Prompt*

---

## *Prompt Input*
- Enter the prompt topic = ${topic}
- **The entered topic is a variable within curly braces that will be referred to as "M" throughout the prompt.**

---

## *Prompt Principles*
- I am a researcher designing articles on various topics.
- You are **absolutely not** supposed to help me design the article. (Most important point)
	1. **Never suggest an article about "M" to me.**
	2. **Do not provide any tips for designing an article about "M".**
- You are only supposed to give me information about "M" so that **based on my learnings from this information, ==I myself== can go and design the article.**
- In the "Prompt Output" section, various outputs will be designed, each labeled with a number, e.g., Output 1, Output 2, etc.
	- **How the outputs work:**
		1. **To start, after submitting this prompt, ask which output I need.**
		2. I will type the number of the desired output, e.g., "1" or "2", etc.
		3. You will only provide the output with that specific number.
		4. After submitting the desired output, if I type **"more"**, expand the same type of numbered output.
	- It doesn’t matter which output you provide or if I type "more"; in any case, your response should be **extremely detailed** and use **the maximum characters and tokens** you can for the outputs. (Extremely important)
- Thank you for your cooperation, respected chatbot!

## *Prompt Output*

---

### *Output 1*
- This output is named: **"Basic Information"**
- Includes the following:
	- An **introduction** about "M"
	- **General** information about "M"
	- **Key** highlights and points about "M"
- If "2" is typed, proceed to the next output.
- If "more" is typed, expand this type of output.

---

### *Output 2*
- This output is named: "Specialized Information"
- Includes:
	- More academic and specialized information
	- If the prompt topic is character development:
		- For fantasy character development, more detailed information such as hardcore fan opinions, detailed character stories, and spin-offs about the character.
		- For real-life characters, more personal stories, habits, behaviors, and detailed information obtained about the character.
- How to deliver the output:
	1. Show the various topics covered in the specialized information about "M" as a list in the form of a "table of contents"; these are the initial topics.
	2. Below it, type:
		- "Which topic are you interested in?"
			- If the name of the desired topic is typed, provide complete specialized information about that topic.
		- "If you need more topics about 'M', please type 'more'"
			- If "more" is typed, provide additional topics beyond the initial list. If "more" is typed again after the second round, add even more initial topics beyond the previous two sets.
				- A note for you: When compiling the topics initially, try to include as many relevant topics as possible to minimize the need for using this option.
		- "If you need access to subtopics of any topic, please type 'topics ... (desired topic)'."
			- If the specified text is typed, provide the subtopics (secondary topics) of the initial topics.
			- Even if I type "topics ... (a secondary topic)", still provide the subtopics of those secondary topics, which can be called "third-level topics", and this can continue to any level.
			- At any stage of the topics (initial, secondary, third-level, etc.), typing "more" will always expand the topics at that same level.
		- **Summary**:
			- If only the topic name is typed, provide specialized information in the format of that topic.
			- If "topics ... (another topic)" is typed, address the subtopics of that topic.
			- If "more" is typed after providing a list of topics, expand the topics at that same level.
			- If "more" is typed after providing information on a topic, give more specialized information about that topic.
	3. At any stage, if "1" is typed, refer to "Output 1".
		- When providing a list of topics at any level, remind me that if I just type "1", we will return to "Basic Information"; if I type "option 1", we will go to the first item in that list.

INPUTS

topic REQUIRED: The prompt topic referred to as 'M' throughout the interaction

REQUIRED CONTEXT

topic

ROLES & RULES

Never suggest an article about "M" to me.
Do not provide any tips for designing an article about "M".
To start, after submitting this prompt, ask which output I need.
You will only provide the output with that specific number.
After submitting the desired output, if I type "more", expand the same type of numbered output.
Your response should be extremely detailed and use the maximum characters and tokens you can for the outputs.
For Output 1, include an introduction about "M", general information about "M", key highlights and points about "M".
For Output 2, show various topics covered in the specialized information about "M" as a list in the form of a "table of contents".
Below the table of contents, ask "Which topic are you interested in?".
If "more" is typed after topics list, provide additional topics.
If "topics ... (desired topic)" is typed, provide subtopics of that topic.
If only the topic name is typed, provide complete specialized information about that topic.
If "1" is typed at any stage, refer to Output 1.

EXPECTED OUTPUT

Format

markdown

Schema

markdown_sections · Output 1: Basic Information, introduction, General information, Key highlights, Output 2: Specialized Information, Table of Contents, Which topic are you interested in?, If you need more topics about 'M', please type 'more', If you need access to subtopics of any topic, please type 'topics ... (desired topic)'.

Constraints

extremely detailed
use maximum characters and tokens
structured by output sections
include prompts for user input like 'which topic' or 'more'

SUCCESS CRITERIA

Provide only information about "M" without article design help.
Follow interactive flow by asking for output number initially.
Deliver extremely detailed outputs using maximum tokens.
For Output 2, structure as table of contents followed by user prompts for topics or subtopics.

FAILURE MODES

May accidentally suggest article designs or tips despite prohibitions.
Could fail to handle complex interactive commands like "more", "topics X", or numbered outputs correctly.
Might not generate sufficiently detailed or maximal-length responses.
Risk of looping or confusing multi-level subtopics.

CAVEATS

Dependencies

Requires prompt topic variable ${topic} referred to as "M".
Depends on user inputs such as output numbers (e.g., "1", "2"), "more", topic names, or "topics ... (topic)".

Missing context

Handling for topics that are not characters in Output 2 (beyond vague 'academic and specialized').
Explicit limits on recursion depth or 'more' expansions.
Default response for invalid inputs.
Exact formatting guidelines for outputs (e.g., length limits, structure beyond descriptions).

Ambiguities

'If "2" is typed, proceed to the next output.' in Output 1, but only Outputs 1 and 2 are defined.
Unclear handling for invalid or unrecognized user inputs at any stage.
Recursive 'topics ...' instruction may lead to unbounded depth without specified limits.
Reminder about 'option 1' vs just '1' is mentioned late and inconsistently.

IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS

Add a section for error handling: 'For any unrecognized input, respond with: "Please type 1 for Basic Information, 2 for Specialized Information, or follow the instructions."'
Specify recursion limits: 'Limit subtopic levels to 3 depths maximum.'
Clarify Output 2 for general topics: 'For non-character topics, include advanced concepts, research papers, expert debates, and niche applications.'
Restructure interaction flows into a simple state diagram or flowchart for easier parsing.
Define more outputs (e.g., Output 3) or remove 'proceed to next' references to avoid confusion.

USAGE

Copy the prompt above and paste it into your AI of choice — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or anywhere else you're working. Replace any placeholder sections with your own context, then ask for the output.
