Prompt Engineering
The practice of designing inputs to elicit optimal outputs from language models.
Prompt engineering involves structuring instructions, examples, and context to maximize model accuracy and minimize token usage. Techniques include zero-shot instructions, few-shot examples, chain-of-thought reasoning, and role assignment via system prompts. Effective prompting can reduce costs by 30–60% by cutting redundant tokens and improving first-attempt accuracy.
