Prompt

The practice of designing and refining input text to elicit optimal outputs from large language models. Prompt engineering is the discipline of crafting effective input prompts to guide large language models toward producing the desired output format, style, accuracy, or behaviour.

Effective prompt engineering techniques include providing clear role or persona context, specifying the output format explicitly, giving few-shot examples, instructing the model to reason step by step (Chain-of-Thought), and decomposing complex tasks into smaller sub-tasks.

Prompt Engineering is a foundational concept in Prompting Technique. The practice of designing and refining input text to elicit optimal outputs from large language models.
