Prompt Basics
+Prompt engineering starts with clarity—specific prompts get better results. Add context and define the output format for precision.
- Key Concepts: Clarity: Be specific (e.g., "Write a 500-word essay"); Context: Add background (e.g., "You are a historian"); Output: Define format (e.g., "in bullet points").
- Open-Ended: Encourages creativity (e.g., "Write a story about a futuristic city").
- Instructional: Directs specific tasks (e.g., "Summarize this article in 100 words").
- Role-Based: Sets a persona (e.g., "You are a teacher explaining to a 5th grader").
- Try a role-based prompt: "You are a scientist explaining gravity."
- Tip: Start simple, then add context for better results.
Prompt Patterns
+Patterns like "Few-Shot" and "Chain-of-Thought" guide the AI—use examples to set style, or ask for step-by-step reasoning.
- Pattern Types: Few-Shot: Examples (e.g., summaries); Chain-of-Thought: Step-by-step (e.g., math); Role-Play: Persona (e.g., teacher).
- Few-Shot: Sets style with examples (e.g., "Here are two summaries: [Example 1], [Example 2].").
- Chain-of-Thought: Explains reasoning (e.g., "Solve 2x + 3 = 7 step-by-step").
- Critique then Improve: Refines output (e.g., "Write a story, then improve it").
- Try a "Few-Shot" prompt with two examples for consistency.
- Tip: Combine patterns (e.g., "Few-Shot" + "Role-Play") for complex tasks.
Prompt Resources
+Resources like libraries, tools, and guides help you craft better prompts—use templates for quick starts or tutorials for deeper learning.
- Resource Types: Libraries: Prompt collections (e.g., Awesome Prompts); Tools: Prompt optimizers (e.g., PromptPerfect); Guides: Tutorials (e.g., Learn Prompting).
- Templates: Pre-written prompts (e.g., "Summarize this: [Text]").
- Tools: Automate prompt creation (e.g., PromptBase marketplace).
- Guides: Learn techniques (e.g., "Chain-of-Thought" tutorials).
- Explore a library like Awesome Prompts for inspiration.
- Tip: Save your best prompts in a personal library for reuse.
Prompt Playground
+The Playground lets you test prompts live—experiment, refine, and see instant results. Start with a simple prompt and iterate.
- Playground Basics: Test prompts: Real-time feedback; Refine: Adjust based on output; Experiment: Try patterns.
- Start Simple: Test a basic prompt (e.g., "Write a poem").
- Use Patterns: Add "Few-Shot" (e.g., "Here’s an example poem: [Example].").
- Analyze: Refine if output lacks detail (e.g., add "with vivid imagery").
- Try a prompt: "Write a haiku about the ocean."
- Tip: Log your prompts and responses to track what works.
