Glossary term
Crafting the wording and structure of prompts to get better results from a model.
Prompt engineering is the craft of wording instructions, giving context and examples, and structuring a request so a model produces better results.
Common tactics: be specific about the task and format, supply examples, ask for step-by-step reasoning on hard problems, and state what to do when unsure.
A clearer prompt is often the cheapest way to improve an AI system's output.
