Frequently asked questions
Where can I find ChatGPT prompt templates?
ZICQ's public English prompt library is at /en/prompts. This guide includes four original examples; the library groups additional prompts by use case. Check each template's stated tool and requirements before using it.
How do I adapt a prompt to my task?
Specify the task, audience, input material, constraints and output format. Replace every bracketed placeholder, try the prompt with a small example, and revise it after reviewing the output.
Will a prompt enable web search?
A prompt alone does not enable web search or other tools. Use the search controls available in your chat product. For a source-based task without search, supply the source text and URLs yourself.
Are these official ChatGPT templates?
No. These examples were written by ZICQ. ZICQ is an independent resource site and is not affiliated with DeepSeek or OpenAI. Output quality depends on the model, available tools and your input.
Can I browse ZICQ without joining the community?
The prompt library, Agent Skills library, AI news, wiki and rankings are public. The discussion community requires an invitation.
