Mastering AI Prompts

Prompt engineering is the practice of structuring text inputs to effectively communicate with and guide Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Key Prompting Strategies

  • Role Prompting: Assign an expert persona (e.g. "Act as a senior software architect").
  • Few-Shot Prompting: Provide 2-3 input/output examples before asking for the final result.
  • Chain of Thought: Ask the model to "think step by step" to improve logical reasoning.
