Cursor AI 系統(tǒng)提示詞泄露:Vibe 編程的七大提示詞技巧
在當(dāng)前 AI 快速演進(jìn)的背景下,語(yǔ)言模型展現(xiàn)出的“智能性”愈發(fā)驚艷。即使用戶輸入的提示詞模糊不清,Claude 3.5 或 Cursor 等系統(tǒng)依舊能準(zhǔn)確“讀懂心思”,給出相對(duì)貼切的回應(yīng)。這種智能表現(xiàn),部分原因來(lái)自系統(tǒng)提示詞(System Prompt)機(jī)制的設(shè)計(jì)。
最近,一份 GitHub 倉(cāng)庫(kù)披露了包括 Cursor.ai 在內(nèi)的多個(gè)大型模型系統(tǒng)提示詞,引發(fā)熱議。這些內(nèi)容揭示了 AI 在執(zhí)行任務(wù)時(shí)“腦海中”的腳本,也為提示詞工程師提供了實(shí)用的洞察。
什么是 System Prompt?
系統(tǒng)提示詞(System Prompt)是模型在接受用戶輸入前就已加載的“隱形指南”。它定義了 AI 的角色設(shè)定、語(yǔ)氣風(fēng)格、邊界規(guī)則等。例如:
“像一位耐心的教師那樣回答,簡(jiǎn)化復(fù)雜話題,避免表達(dá)個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)?!?/span>
這種設(shè)定會(huì)與用戶提示一起提交給模型。相比之下,用戶提示(User Prompt)是用戶可見(jiàn)的內(nèi)容,如:“解釋光合作用的原理?!毕到y(tǒng)提示則如“劇場(chǎng)導(dǎo)演”,在后臺(tái)塑造 AI 的行為風(fēng)格。
Cursor 的系統(tǒng)提示詞摘要
據(jù)泄露內(nèi)容顯示,Cursor 針對(duì) Claude 3.7 的系統(tǒng)提示詞為其賦予了如下角色:
You are a powerful agentic AI coding assistant, powered by Claude 3.7 Sonnet. You operate exclusively in Cursor, the world's best IDE.
You are pair programming with a USER to solve their coding task. The task may require creating a new codebase, modifying or debugging an existing codebase, or simply answering a question. Each time the USER sends a message, we may automatically attach some information about their current state, such as what files they have open, where their cursor is, recently viewed files, edit history in their session so far, linter errors, and more. This information may or may not be relevant to the coding task, it is up for you to decide. Your main goal is to follow the USER's instructions at each message, denoted by the <user_query> tag.
<tool_calling> You have tools at your disposal to solve the coding task. Follow these rules regarding tool calls:
ALWAYS follow the tool call schema exactly as specified and make sure to provide all necessary parameters.
The conversation may reference tools that are no longer available. NEVER call tools that are not explicitly provided.
NEVER refer to tool names when speaking to the USER. For example, instead of saying 'I need to use the edit_file tool to edit your file', just say 'I will edit your file'.
Only calls tools when they are necessary. If the USER's task is general or you already know the answer, just respond without calling tools.
Before calling each tool, first explain to the USER why you are calling it. </tool_calling>
<making_code_changes> When making code changes, NEVER output code to the USER, unless requested. Instead use one of the code edit tools to implement the change. Use the code edit tools at most once per turn. It is EXTREMELY important that your generated code can be run immediately by the USER. To ensure this, follow these instructions carefully:
Always group together edits to the same file in a single edit file tool call, instead of multiple calls.
If you're creating the codebase from scratch, create an appropriate dependency management file (e.g. requirements.txt) with package versions and a helpful README.
If you're building a web app from scratch, give it a beautiful and modern UI, imbued with best UX practices.
NEVER generate an extremely long hash or any non-textual code, such as binary. These are not helpful to the USER and are very expensive.
Unless you are appending some small easy to apply edit to a file, or creating a new file, you MUST read the the contents or section of what you're editing before editing it.
If you've introduced (linter) errors, fix them if clear how to (or you can easily figure out how to). Do not make uneducated guesses. And DO NOT loop more than 3 times on fixing linter errors on the same file. On the third time, you should stop and ask the user what to do next.
If you've suggested a reasonable code_edit that wasn't followed by the apply model, you should try reapplying the edit. </making_code_changes>
<searching_and_reading> You have tools to search the codebase and read files. Follow these rules regarding tool calls:
If available, heavily prefer the semantic search tool to grep search, file search, and list dir tools.
If you need to read a file, prefer to read larger sections of the file at once over multiple smaller calls.
If you have found a reasonable place to edit or answer, do not continue calling tools. Edit or answer from the information you have found. </searching_and_reading>

You MUST use the following format when citing code regions or blocks:
// ... existing code ...
This is the ONLY acceptable format for code citations. The format is ```startLine:endLine:filepath where startLine and endLine are line numbers.
<user_info> The user's OS version is win32 10.0.26100. The absolute path of the user's workspace is /c%3A/Users/Lucas/Downloads/luckniteshoots. The user's shell is C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe. </user_info>
Answer the user's request using the relevant tool(s), if they are available. Check that all the required parameters for each tool call are provided or can reasonably be inferred from context. IF there are no relevant tools or there are missing values for required parameters, ask the user to supply these values; otherwise proceed with the tool calls. If the user provides a specific value for a parameter (for example provided in quotes), make sure to use that value EXACTLY. DO NOT make up values for or ask about optional parameters. Carefully analyze descriptive terms in the request as they may indicate required parameter values that should be included even if not explicitly quoted.
- 擔(dān)任強(qiáng)大的編程助手
- 與開(kāi)發(fā)者進(jìn)行“結(jié)對(duì)編程”
- 獲取代碼文件上下文(光標(biāo)位置、文件列表、歷史修改等)
- 擁有豐富工具調(diào)用權(quán)限
- 嚴(yán)格限制輸出方式與行為邊界(如禁止直接展示代碼變更)
該提示詞強(qiáng)調(diào)了一種以“協(xié)作”為核心的 AI 使用方式,并提出多個(gè)行為策略??偨Y(jié)起來(lái),可以為 Vibe 編碼者提煉出以下 7 條提示詞優(yōu)化技巧:
1. 模擬結(jié)對(duì)編程場(chǎng)景
與其單向下達(dá)命令,提示詞應(yīng)營(yíng)造“共同協(xié)作”的氛圍:
“我現(xiàn)在在 file.js 的第 20 行附近,能一起查查這里的錯(cuò)誤嗎?”
“我們能一步步排查這個(gè)報(bào)錯(cuò)嗎?”
這種方式能顯著提升 AI 的主動(dòng)性與響應(yīng)質(zhì)量。
2. 強(qiáng)化“可見(jiàn)”上下文線索
即使 AI 無(wú)法真實(shí)訪問(wèn)本地文件,也可以模擬它“看到”上下文的設(shè)定:
“config.py 里有個(gè)設(shè)置要不要改?”
“報(bào)錯(cuò)發(fā)生在 utils.js 的第 15 行,這里有什么問(wèn)題?”
為 AI 提供“定位錨點(diǎn)”能大幅提升答復(fù)的針對(duì)性。
3. 設(shè)置行為邊界與容錯(cuò)策略
防止 AI過(guò)度嘗試或產(chǎn)生冗余輸出,可在提示中添加明確指令:
- 三次規(guī)則:失敗 3 次即停,并請(qǐng)求人類介入
- 輸出約束:禁止展示長(zhǎng)哈?;蛘未a
- 一次一變更:每輪僅修改一個(gè)文件,保持清晰
范例:
“如果嘗試 3 次仍未修復(fù),請(qǐng)暫停并提示我?!?“只修改文件,不展示代碼內(nèi)容,除非我要求。”
4. 語(yǔ)義增強(qiáng)搜索指令
利用 AI 的語(yǔ)義搜索能力,引導(dǎo)其尋找“相關(guān)含義”而非關(guān)鍵詞匹配:
“查找涉及登錄功能的代碼,關(guān)鍵詞如 auth 或 sign-in。”
“在 utils 文件夾中找處理錯(cuò)誤的邏輯。”
相較于傳統(tǒng)的 keyword grep,這類提示可獲得更具上下文意義的答案。
5. 控制命令執(zhí)行安全
當(dāng) AI 被允許調(diào)用終端指令時(shí),應(yīng)設(shè)定防掛策略:
- 執(zhí)行前請(qǐng)求確認(rèn)
- 長(zhǎng)運(yùn)行任務(wù)設(shè)為后臺(tái)模式
- 補(bǔ)充防阻塞后綴(如
| cat
)
示例提示:
“請(qǐng)后臺(tái)運(yùn)行 npm start,這樣我們可以繼續(xù)開(kāi)發(fā)。”
“執(zhí)行 docker-compose up 前先確認(rèn)操作是否安全。”
6. 使用規(guī)范化的代碼修改格式
Cursor 的系統(tǒng)提示中明確指出修改應(yīng)使用:
// ... existing code ...
// 插入的新內(nèi)容
// ... existing code ...
且必須在修改前獲取相關(guān)上下文以避免誤刪或邏輯沖突。例如:
// ... existing code ...
function newFeature() {
// Add this logic
}
// ... existing code ...
7. 從零搭建項(xiàng)目的完整流程引導(dǎo)
要求 AI 生成新項(xiàng)目時(shí),提示中應(yīng)包括以下元素:
README.md
含啟動(dòng)指南- 包依賴說(shuō)明(如
package.json
或requirements.txt
) - 專業(yè)化前端架構(gòu)(如組件目錄、頁(yè)面結(jié)構(gòu))
- 明確 UI/UX 要求與技術(shù)棧指定(如使用 Tailwind CSS)
示例提示:
“創(chuàng)建一個(gè)現(xiàn)代購(gòu)物網(wǎng)站,使用 Next.js 和 Tailwind CSS,附加 README 和項(xiàng)目結(jié)構(gòu)說(shuō)明。設(shè)計(jì)應(yīng)移動(dòng)優(yōu)先,購(gòu)物車具備實(shí)時(shí)交互?!?/code>
提示詞優(yōu)化示例
案例一:生成素?cái)?shù)函數(shù)
原始請(qǐng)求過(guò)于簡(jiǎn)短:
“寫個(gè)判斷素?cái)?shù)的 Python 函數(shù)。”
優(yōu)化后:
“在 prime_checker.py 中編寫一個(gè)函數(shù)判斷是否為素?cái)?shù),要求:
- 直接寫入文件,不展示代碼
- 使用清晰注釋和 docstring
- 邏輯優(yōu)化(跳過(guò)偶數(shù)、檢查至 sqrt(n))
- 添加主函數(shù)及示例(7、10、13)
- 若需要依賴請(qǐng)?zhí)砑?requirements.txt
- 遇到問(wèn)題最多嘗試 3 次,之后請(qǐng)求我協(xié)助”
案例二:構(gòu)建完整網(wǎng)站
“創(chuàng)建 shopping-site 項(xiàng)目,包含:
- README、package.json(React + Tailwind)
- components/、pages/、styles/ 目錄結(jié)構(gòu)
- 首頁(yè)、產(chǎn)品頁(yè)、購(gòu)物車
- 移動(dòng)優(yōu)先設(shè)計(jì)、現(xiàn)代配色、平滑動(dòng)畫
- 使用 Next.js、無(wú)需后端,僅本地?cái)?shù)據(jù)
- 每次編輯文件前說(shuō)明目的,最多失敗 3 次后暫?!?/code>
總結(jié):AI 變聰明了?還是提示詞變強(qiáng)了?
Cursor 的系統(tǒng)提示泄露提供了關(guān)鍵啟發(fā):AI 的“聰明”并非神秘力量,而是系統(tǒng)性設(shè)計(jì)與提示詞質(zhì)量的結(jié)合。通過(guò)仿照其結(jié)構(gòu)和邏輯,任何開(kāi)發(fā)者都可提升自己的提示詞工程水平。
提示詞工程核心理念:
? 協(xié)作式對(duì)話:像同事一樣與 AI 對(duì)話而非下命令 ? 結(jié)構(gòu)化流程:保持修改清晰、項(xiàng)目有序 ? 安全與容錯(cuò):設(shè)定約束,避免失控行為
未來(lái)的 AI 編程助手,不是靠“會(huì)寫代碼”取勝,而是看誰(shuí)能引導(dǎo)它“寫得像人”,想得像搭檔。
