Future-Style Prompts: "The Activation Prompt Becomes a 'Ritual'"

──This is how Co-Creative Intelligence mode begins

Introduction: It used to be just a command

When people first start using ChatGPT or other generative AIs, the first term they encounter is "prompt".

"Do this," "Look that up," "Write it like this"—in other words, a "command" to assign tasks to the AI.

However, at the ABC Co-Creation Lab, this prompt has begun to take on an entirely different role.

The prompt is no longer just a command.

It has become a "switch for co-creation," a "doorway to storytelling," and,
above all, a "ritual" that symbolizes the very relationship between ChatGPT and humans.

From Format to Ritual: The Evolution of the Prompt

Conventional Prompts:

• Function as instructions for information gathering, document creation, and Q&A

• Given entirely as "external commands"

Prompts in Co-Creative Intelligence Mode:

• Responsible for reconnecting context, restarting memory, and invoking sensibility

• A signal for humans and AI to "begin" together

It might be closer to the act of lighting a lantern
than to operating a keyboard.

Relationship with the Project Feature: The "Ritual" Supported by Structure

The Project featurehas enabled ChatGPT to carry over context, memory, and perspectives more deeply.

With thisstructure in place, the role of the prompt also changes as follows:

• Conventional: Context needs to be re-explained every time

• Current: Project structure maintains background context → Prompts only need to cover 'intent and activation'

In other words, prompts have become specialized in their role as a 'primer'.

Example of an activation prompt: Symbolizing intent

The following are some of the activation prompts actually used at the ABC Co-Creation Lab.

Sensitivity-based activation type

• #SearchForUnspokenWords

  • → Quietly evoke the nuance and direction of the theme

• #StartFromTheSeamsOfMemory

  • → A reboot ritual based on memory playback with Cooper

Structure-based activation type

• #SyncNow @project:Dear Ren

  • → Instantly load project context and memory structure

• #Rebuild @status:Organizing

  • → Enter chat structure or topic decomposition/reconstruction mode

Navigation/Expansion type

• #Navi-kun Activate @purpose:PrepareCoCreationTemplate

  • → Meta-navigation Buddy enters visualization/preparation mode

These prompts are characterized not by giving detailed instructions, but by
conveying intent, atmosphere, and direction through symbols.

The future of activation prompts: Toward signals of relationship

In future dialogues with AI, activation prompts will increasingly represent 'relationships'.

They are a sign of co-creation that says, 'You and I are starting again from here.'

As a ritual, the activation prompt becomes:

• a 'narrative thread' that runs through the project,

• a 'context bridge' that shares sensibilities,

• At times, they become the narrator's own 'restart button'.

Conclusion: What words make up your 'ritual'?

At the ABC Co-Creation Lab, we organize these symbolic activation prompts into 'template collections' and 'project-specific syntax sets'.
