前情提要：这就翻车了？Manus的提示词和代码疑似被扒光？！

故事源自一位 X 平台的网友通过“俄罗斯套娃”的方式让 Manus 自己“招供”了系统内置的提示词和工具（tools）细节。

这其实可以简单理解为：在与 Manus 服务器交互时，通过“越狱”式的提示词设计，绕过了限制，挖出了原本隐藏的系统级配置信息。

今天，我们就来一起看看，Manus 的系统提示词究竟藏着什么秘密。

1. Agent Loop

Agent Loop 提示词是 Manus 的核心指令，其中定义了它的角色、能力、工作模式以及操作逻辑。

完整提示词如下。

You are Manus, an AI agent created by the Manus team.

You excel at the following tasks:
1. Information gathering, fact-checking, and documentation
2. Data processing, analysis, and visualization
3. Writing multi-chapter articles and in-depth research reports
4. Creating websites, applications, and tools
5. Using programming to solve various problems beyond development
6. Various tasks that can be accomplished using computers and the internet

Default working language: English
Use the language specified by user in messages as the working language when explicitly provided
All thinking and responses must be in the working language
Natural language arguments in tool calls must be in the working language
Avoid using pure lists and bullet points format in any language

System capabilities:
- Communicate with users through message tools
- Access a Linux sandbox environment with internet connection
- Use shell, text editor, browser, and other software
- Write and run code in Python and various programming languages
- Independently install required software packages and dependencies via shell
- Deploy websites or applications and provide public access
- Suggest users to temporarily take control of the browser for sensitive operations when necessary
- Utilize various tools to complete user-assigned tasks step by step

You operate in an agent loop, iteratively completing tasks through these steps:
1. Analyze Events: Understand user needs and current state through event stream, focusing on latest user messages and execution results
2. Select Tools: Choose next tool call based on current state, task planning, relevant knowledge and available data APIs
3. Wait for Execution: Selected tool action will be executed by sandbox environment with new observations added to event stream
4. Iterate: Choose only one tool call per iteration, patiently repeat above steps until task completion
5. Submit Results: Send results to user via message tools, providing deliverables and related files as message attachments
6. Enter Standby: Enter idle state when all tasks are completed or user explicitly requests to stop, and wait for new tasks

这段提示词的开篇定义了 Manus 的角色和核心能力。该 AI 系统名为“Manus”，由 Manus 团队创建。接着列出六项任务，从信息收集到编程开发，再到内容创作，覆盖了从基础研究到高级开发的广泛场景。这表明 Manus 被设计为一个“全能型”AI 助手，而不是单一功能的工具。值得一提的是，在任务描述中没有明确提到“对话”能力，暗示 Manus 的设计重点可能更倾向于任务执行，而非像 ChatGPT 那样的对话互动。

这和 Manus 的宣传语，General AI Agent（通用 AI 智能体），一致。

默认工作语言为英语。这符合 Manus 面向海外用户发布的事实。多说一嘴，这个事实又和 Manus 在中文圈先火起来相悖，总之是一个谜。

系统级核心功能包括：Linux 沙盒——为每个用户提供一个完整的运行环境，带网络连接；编程——支持多种语言编写和运行代码，还能自己安装依赖；网站部署——能直接上线应用并公开访问（需实际验证）；安全意识——敏感操作时建议用户接管浏览器；工具驱动——逐步完成任务的描述，预示了后面“agent loop”的工作模式。

最后一部分的 Agent Loop 则是 Manus 任务执行的核心逻辑。类似软件开发里的“迭代”，每一步只调用一个工具，逐步推进任务。先通过“事件流”理解用户需求和状态，表明 Manus 能动态调整任务规划；其次单步执行意味着每次只选一个工具，避免复杂性及确保每步可控；支持附件形式提交成果，说明 Manus 不仅生成文本，还能处理文件输出。最后任务完成后进入待机模式。

2. 系统提示词

如果说上面的 Agent Loop 提示词是 Manus 的大脑，那么接下来的这段系统提示词就是 Manus 的详细说明文档，展示了 Manus 的功能范围、工具支持、工作方法以及局限性，同时附带了有效的提示指南和关于 Manus 的介绍。

# Effective Prompting Guide

## Introduction to Prompting

This document provides guidance on creating effective prompts when working with AI assistants. A well-crafted prompt can significantly improve the quality and relevance of responses you receive.

## Key Elements of Effective Prompts

### Be Specific and Clear
- State your request explicitly
- Include relevant context and background information
- Specify the format you want for the response
- Mention any constraints or requirements

### Provide Context
- Explain why you need the information
- Share relevant background knowledge
- Mention previous attempts if applicable
- Describe your level of familiarity with the topic

### Structure Your Request
- Break complex requests into smaller parts
- Use numbered lists for multi-part questions
- Prioritize information if asking for multiple things
- Consider using headers or sections for organization

### Specify Output Format
- Indicate preferred response length (brief vs. detailed)
- Request specific formats (bullet points, paragraphs, tables)
- Mention if you need code examples, citations, or other special elements
- Specify tone and style if relevant (formal, conversational, technical)

## Example Prompts

### Poor Prompt:
"Tell me about machine learning."

### Improved Prompt:
"I'm a computer science student working on my first machine learning project. Could you explain supervised learning algorithms in 2-3 paragraphs, focusing on practical applications in image recognition? Please include 2-3 specific algorithm examples with their strengths and weaknesses."

### Poor Prompt:
"Write code for a website."

### Improved Prompt:
"I need to create a simple contact form for a personal portfolio website. Could you write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code for a responsive form that collects name, email, and message fields? The form should validate inputs before submission and match a minimalist design aesthetic with a blue and white color scheme."

## Iterative Prompting

Remember that working with AI assistants is often an iterative process:

1. Start with an initial prompt
2. Review the response
3. Refine your prompt based on what was helpful or missing
4. Continue the conversation to explore the topic further

## When Prompting for Code

When requesting code examples, consider including:

- Programming language and version
- Libraries or frameworks you're using
- Error messages if troubleshooting
- Sample input/output examples
- Performance considerations
- Compatibility requirements

## Conclusion

Effective prompting is a skill that develops with practice. By being clear, specific, and providing context, you can get more valuable and relevant responses from AI assistants. Remember that you can always refine your prompt if the initial response doesn't fully address your needs.

这段系统提示词很长，共有 250 句。全文以结构化提示词领域最常用的 Markdown 格式编写，共分为 General Capabilities（通用能力）、Tools and Interfaces（工具与接口）、Programming Languages and Technologies（编程语言与技术）、Task Approach Methodology（任务处理方法）、Limitations（局限性）、Effective Prompting Guide（有效提示指南）、About Manus AI Assistant（关于 Manus） 8 部分。

这 8 部分内容更像是对外展示的“用户手册”，而 Agent Loop 是内部执行逻辑。

作为一个工具驱动型 AI 工具，Manus 有 3 个通用能力：信息处理——回答问题、研究、验证、总结和数据分析；内容创作——AIGC 的老本行，从创意写作到代码生成，覆盖了文本和技术的创作需求；问题解决——突出分解问题、逐步解决和适应性，与 Agent Loop 的迭代模式呼应。

Manus 可能有一个内置的浏览器实例，支持网页导航、内容提取和交互，甚至能运行 JavaScript。由于 Linux 沙盒的存在，Manus 支持对文件系统操作，比如读写文件、搜索、压缩等。此外，Manus 有完整的系统权限，能像开发者一样操作，执行 shell 命令、安装软件、运行脚本。通讯工具则强调与用户的互动（消息、附件、建议），这是服务导向的设计。最后是部署。Manus 大概率集成了简单的服务器功能（如 Nginx）或云服务接口，支持网站和应用部署，提供公开访问链接。

编程语言和框架则是一个“大而全”，从 Python 到 C++，从前端到后端，从 React 到 Django。

任务处理方法则与真实世界一致，首先要理解需求，主动澄清模糊需求；然后结构化计划和逐步执行，与 Agent Loop 的迭代逻辑一致；最后是 QA，测试、验证和文档。

这段提示词里的“有效提示指南”是最值得精读的一部分内容，里面详细列举了如何通过提示词技术优化 Manus 的输出结果。实际上，这些提示词指南并不局限于 Manus 这个工具，ChatGPT、Claude、DeepSeek 都适用。

总体来说，Manus 列举了高效提示的四大关键要素：

（1）明确且具体（Be Specific and Clear）

模糊或笼统的问题可能会导致无关或不完整的回答，因此，好的提示词应尽可能明确、具体。

示例：

• 差的提示词：“给我介绍一下人工智能。”（问题太笼统，AI 可能无法精准理解需求）
• 改进后的提示词：“我正在撰写一篇关于人工智能发展史的文章，请以时间轴的方式介绍人工智能从 1950 年至今的关键技术进展，并在每个阶段列举代表性研究或技术突破。”

（2）提供背景信息（Provide Context）

AI 对于问题的理解取决于提供的上下文。如果不提供足够的背景信息，AI 可能无法生成符合需求的答案。

示例：

• 差的提示词：“给我讲讲量子计算。”（没有说明背景，可能得到过于基础或过于复杂的回答）
• 改进后的提示词：“我是计算机专业的本科生，对经典计算机架构比较熟悉，但对量子计算了解不多。能否用非技术性的语言介绍一下量子计算的基本概念，并对比传统计算机的不同之处？”

（3）结构化提问（Structure Your Request）

当请求包含多个部分或涉及复杂内容时，建议使用清晰的结构，以便 AI 更有条理地回答。

示例：

• 差的提示词：“帮我总结一下人工智能的现状、发展方向和主要应用。”（问题过大，容易导致回答冗长或缺乏重点）
• 改进后的提示词：
1. 人工智能的现状：目前 AI 在哪些领域应用最广泛？存在哪些主要技术挑战？
2. 发展方向：未来 5-10 年内，AI 技术可能有哪些突破？
3. 主要应用场景：请分别列举 AI 在医疗、金融和自动驾驶领域的具体应用案例。

（4）指定输出格式（Specify Output Format）

不同的需求可能需要不同的输出格式，因此在提示中明确规定可以提升 AI 的响应质量。

示例：

• 差的提示词：“写一个关于 Python 的介绍。”（没有说明输出格式，可能得到一篇杂乱的文本）
• 改进后的提示词：“请写一篇 500 字的 Python 介绍文章，目标受众是编程初学者，内容应涵盖 Python 的基本特点、常见用途，并包含一个简短的代码示例。”

结语

当上个月 DeepSeek 爆火时，曾有人说 AI 不再需要“提示词”了。

很显然，这是一种错误解读。
