Prompt Engineering – Quick Guide

Prompt engineering is the skill of writing clear, structured instructions to get better outputs from AI
models. This guide covers core concepts, techniques, and examples in under 5 pages.
Core Principles
1. Be specific and clear.
2. Define the role of the AI.
3. Provide context and constraints.
4. Specify output format.
5. Iterate and refine prompts.
Prompt Structures
Basic Prompt: Clear instruction.
Role-based Prompt: 'You are an expert...'
Step-by-step Prompt: Ask for reasoning.
Template Prompt: Reusable structured format.
Advanced Techniques
Few-shot prompting: Give examples.
Chain-of-thought prompting: Encourage stepwise thinking.
Negative prompting: Specify what to avoid.
Self-critique prompts: Ask the model to review its answer.
Best Practices & Examples
Example:
Bad: 'Write a story.'
Good: 'Write a 500-word sci■fi story with a dark tone, no romance, and a twist ending.'

Always test, refine, and optimize prompts for your use case.
