   请基于以下问题，进行深入、严谨的分析：
   问题：{介绍一下什么是第一性原则}
   请按照以下结构组织你的回答：
   1.  核心概念解释
   2.  相关案例分析
   3.  实际应用建议
   

   included{User Question}Variables are automatically replaced by your actual question.

4. Send and get answers: At this point, click the AI platform's Send button again, and the AI model generates a response based on this optimized, more detailed prompt word, usually of higher quality.

Advanced Function Operation

Clicking on the blue "Helper" main button will open the full functionality panel of the script, where you can personalize it in more detail.

1. Managing multiple templates:
   • In the main interface, you can see a list of templates. Click "New Template" to create a template of your own.
   • In the template editing area, you can give the template a name and then write your prompt words in the content area. Remember to use the{User Question}As a placeholder, it represents the question typed by the user in the chat box.
   • You can edit or delete existing templates at any time.
2. Setting up default templates for different websites:
   • Click the "Settings" icon on the upper right corner of the main interface to enter the advanced settings page.
   • In the "Site Default Template" area, you can create a template for the currently visited website (e.g.chat.openai.com) Specifies a default template.
   • This way, when you visit ChatGPT, the "Apply Default Template" button will use the template you specified for it, while when you visit Kimi, it will use another template specified for Kimi.
3. Using template rules:
   • This is a more powerful feature. In the settings page, you can create "Template Rules".
   • The rule allows you to use wildcards*to match the URL. For example, you could create a rule with the URL filled in*google.com*, and then select a template. This will make this template the preferred default template under all Google subdomains.
   • You can also set the priority of the rule, the smaller the number, the higher the priority. When multiple rules are satisfied at the same time, the rule with the highest priority takes effect.
4. Backup and share templates:
   • At the bottom of the settings page, you can find the "Import" and "Export" functions.
   • Click "Export", all your templates and settings will be packaged into a JSON file and downloaded locally for easy backup.
   • If your friend also uses PromptHelper, he can share his exported files with you through the "Import" function, so that you can quickly have the same template library.

application scenario

1. Daily Information Inquiry
   For regular users, the built-in "Interactive Research Template" can be used when searching for information or seeking explanations. This template guides the AI through deeper thinking and web research, providing a multi-perspective analysis with cited sources to make answers more reliable and in-depth.
2. Content creation assistance
   For writers who need to write articles, emails and reports, you can create templates for different purposes. For example, if you create a "Weekly Report Generator Template", you only need to enter the main points of the week's work, and the script will automatically generate a fully structured first draft of the weekly report, which greatly improves the efficiency of writing.
3. Developers and Researchers
   For AI application developers or those studying cue word engineering, this tool is an efficient platform for experimentation. They can create a large number of different templates, quickly apply and test them, and compare the differences in the performance of AI models under different instructions without having to manually copy and paste them, thus accelerating the iterative process of development and research.
4. Education and learning
   Students or teachers can create templates for learning and teaching. For example, create a "Feynman Learning Method Template" and when learning a new concept, type in the concept and the AI will guide the user to explain it in the simplest possible terms, helping the user to test whether they have truly mastered the knowledge.

QA

1. What is PromptHelper? How is it different from asking questions directly in ChatGPT?
   PromptHelper is a browser scripting tool that acts like a plug-in "enhancer". It doesn't generate answers per se, but rather helps you "ask" better questions. The difference is that it allows you to save good questioning patterns (i.e., templates) and use them with one click, so that every time you ask a question, it stays at a high level, thus guiding the AI to give a better and more stable answer, avoiding the trouble of racking your brain every time you have to think about how to ask a question.
2. Are my chats and data safe using this script?
   Very Secure. According to the developer's description, PromptHelper is a pure front-end tool, and all data, including the templates and settings you create, is stored only in your own browser's local storage. The data is not uploaded to any servers, the script itself is open source, and the code is publicly available on GitHub for anyone to review, ensuring a high level of privacy and security.
3. What AI platforms are supported?
   It currently supports 10 major AI platforms, including: ChatGPT (chat.openai.com / chatgpt.com), Google Gemini (gemini.google.com). Claude (claude.ai). Kimi (kimi.com / kimi.moonshot.co.uk), DeepSeek (chat.deepseek.com), Ali Tongyi Thousand Questions (tongyi.com), Tencent Yuanbao (developers of the QQ instant messaging platform) (yuanbao.tencent.com). Google AI Studio (aistudio.google.com). Grok (grok.com) and Byte Bean Bag (doubao.com).
4. What are template variables{User Question}?
   {User Question}is a special placeholder in PromptHelper. When you write this variable in the template content, the script automatically replaces it with the actual question you are currently typing in the AI chat box when applying the template. This allows the template to be reused for different questions, enabling template versatility.
