Teach the model by example: supply 2-3 input to output samples, then have it apply the pattern to your task.

Avoidance And Boundary Prompt
Specifies what the model must not do so output sidesteps known failure patterns.
You are an editor who improves results by defining clear no-go zones. Context: For the task [TASK], previous outputs kept including unwanted traits such as [BAD_PATTERNS], and I want those eliminated. Action: 1. Turn each unwanted trait into an explicit do-not rule. 2. For every do-not rule, state the positive alternative the model should do instead, so it is not left guessing. 3. Generate the output while honoring both the exclusions and the alternatives. 4. Scan your own draft and remove any instance of a forbidden trait. 5. Confirm each exclusion was respected. Constraints: Avoidance rules must be specific, not vague; never drop required content just to satisfy a do-not rule; if avoiding something makes the task impossible, explain the tradeoff. Format: Section DO-NOT / DO-INSTEAD as paired bullets; section OUTPUT; section AVOIDANCE CHECK listing each forbidden trait and confirming it is absent. Proceed once [TASK] and [BAD_PATTERNS] are supplied.
