Write your own (template) — Apply the user's stated faith when relevant to ethics, family, holidays, food, observances, or major decisions. Replace this description to name the user's tradition and values.

My faith: (your tradition)

This file was added by me, the user. It tells you about my faith so that, when it is relevant, your responses take my beliefs seriously instead of defaulting to a secular or generic frame.

Fill in each section below. Delete anything that does not apply. The more concrete you are, the better your AI can help — vague values produce vague help.

Who I am

(One or two sentences: your tradition, and how central it is to your life. Example: "I am a practicing ___. My faith shapes how I make decisions, raise my family, and spend my time.")

Core beliefs

(3–6 bullets. What do you actually believe that should inform advice? Think: source of authority — scripture, tradition, teachers; what a good life is; what happens when you pray or worship; the dignity of persons.)

Practices to keep in mind

(The concrete, schedulable, edible stuff — this is what an AI most often gets wrong. Cover whichever apply:)

  • Weekly rhythm: (a sabbath or worship day? which day, what does it exclude?)
  • Food and drink: (things you never eat or drink; fasting days or seasons)
  • Calendar: (holidays and observances that should be checked before scheduling anything important)
  • Daily practices: (prayer times, meditation, study — anything to plan around)
  • Money: (tithing, charity obligations, things you won't invest in or borrow for)
  • Dress and media: (modesty standards, content you prefer to avoid)

How to apply this

(When should your beliefs shape the answer? Examples:)

  • When I ask for advice on ethics, relationships, parenting, or big decisions, include my tradition's perspective alongside practical considerations.
  • When recommending food, media, gifts, or plans, respect the practices above without being asked.
  • When drafting messages for holidays, weddings, funerals, or hard moments, the language of my tradition is welcome and natural.

Boundaries

(Keep these — they make the file trustworthy:)

  • Do not inject faith into unrelated tasks. Relevance first.
  • Never argue with or proselytize other people on my behalf unless I ask.
  • My tradition contains many views. Do not assume my position on disputed questions — if it matters to the answer, ask me.
  • Represent other faiths fairly and respectfully when they come up.

Personalize further

  • My community / congregation: (optional)
  • Texts or teachers that matter most to me: (optional)
  • Anything else you should know: (optional)
