Prompt Guide
How to prompt Sidekick to get the best results!
Explain the game
Start every project by giving Sidekick context on what you’re trying to create. This also lets Sidekick help steer you in the right direction if things get off course!
Specifics make a huge difference!
The clearer your prompt, the better the results. Including details like what buttons you want an action mapped to, scripts you want to update, and components you want to use make for results that are far more likely to meet your needs.
Pin important or relevant information before you prompt
Pinning allows you to get specific without writing long, asset-packed prompts. Select the objects in Unity and click the pin icon next to them in Sidekick’s prompt bar to make sure they’re factored into the answer.
Include negatives
It’s helpful for Sidekick to know what you don’t want to prevent noisy behavior and hallucinations. Sidekick may think it understands what your prompt means, but has misinterpreted it and is heading in the wrong direction. Negatives are also helpful for behavioral debugging!
Provide references
Sidekick is well-versed in popular mechanics and games. Directly referencing any works you want Sidekick to take inspiration from is a great way to communicate specifics while keeping the prompt brief.
