Prompting
Prompt Engineering
Quick Answer
The practice of crafting effective prompts to elicit desired behavior from LLMs.
Prompt engineering optimizes prompts for quality outputs. Techniques: clarity, context, examples, constraints, and iterative refinement. Good prompts are specific and unambiguous. Prompts should provide sufficient context. Prompt engineering avoids the need for fine-tuning. Quality improvement from prompt optimization can be significant. Prompt engineering is a learnable skill requiring practice. Systematic approaches (frameworks) improve results.
