General advice
If you are unfamiliar with AI assistants, reading educational guides on working with these tools, such as Anthropic’s free AI Fluency course are a good starting point. Assistants can also help guide you on how to get the most out of them: asking them how to work with them effectively as an initial prompt can be a helpful place to begin. If asking multiple different questions, it’s generally best to start a new chat for each question rather than continuing a previous chat, as models usually perform better with shorter conversation histories. If you want to clarify a prompt to get a better answer, editing your original prompt is usually more effective than adding further context in a second prompt.Base prompts
Using a base prompt can help to ensure more reliable behavior from an AI assistant. For chats using the Isometric MCP server, consider using the following base prompt or a similar version:Example base prompt
