Dev Note

Prompt Engineering Complete Guide: Master the Art of AI Communication
Prompt engineering is the skill of crafting effective instructions for AI models. Master these techniques to dramatically improve your results with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other LLMs.
Why Prompt Engineering Matters
The same AI model can give vastly different results based on how you ask. Good prompts:
Get more accurate responses
Reduce hallucinations
Save time and tokens
Enable complex tasks
Core Principles
1. Be Specific and Clear
Bad Prompt:
Write about dogs.
Good Prompt:
Write a 300-word article about the health benefits of owning a dog, 
targeting first-time pet owners. Include at least 3 scientifically-backed 
benefits with brief explanations.
2. Provide Context
Bad Prompt:
Fix this code.
[code snippet]
Good Prompt:
I'm building a Flask web application and getting a 500 error when users 
submit the login form. Here's my route handler:
[code snippet]
The error message is: [error]
My Python version is 3.11 and Flask version is 2.3.
What's causing this error and how do I fix it?
3. Specify Output Format
Analyze the following customer review and provide:
1. Sentiment (positive/negative/neutral)
2. Key topics mentioned (as bullet points)
3. Suggested response (2-3 sentences)
Review: [review text]
Format your response as JSON with keys: sentiment, topics, suggested_response
Essential Techniques
Role Prompting
Assign a role to get specialized responses:
You are a senior software architect with 20 years of experience in 
distributed systems. Review this microservices architecture and identify 
potential scalability issues.
Act as a data scientist. Analyze this dataset and suggest the most 
appropriate machine learning models to predict customer churn.
Few-Shot Learning
Provide examples to guide the output:
Convert these sentences to formal business language:
Input: "Hey, can you get back to me on this ASAP?"
Output: "I would appreciate your prompt response regarding this matter."
Input: "This idea is kinda cool but maybe needs work."
Output: "This concept shows promise and may benefit from further refinement."
Input: "Thanks a bunch for helping out!"
Output: 
Chain of Thought (CoT)
Ask the model to reason step by step:
Solve this problem step by step:
A train travels from City A to City B at 60 mph. Another train leaves 
City B for City A at 40 mph, starting 1 hour later. If the distance 
between cities is 200 miles, when and where do the trains meet?
Show your work:
1. First, calculate...
2. Then...
3. Finally...
Self-Consistency
Ask for multiple approaches and compare:
Solve this problem using three different methods:
[problem]
Method 1:
Method 2:
Method 3:
Compare the results and identify the most reliable answer.

Constraint-Based Prompting
Write a product description with these constraints:
- Exactly 50 words
- Include the words: innovative, sustainable, efficient
- Start with a question
- End with a call to action
- Tone: professional yet approachable
Domain-Specific Prompts
For Coding
Write a Python function with these specifications:
- Function name: process_transactions
- Input: List of dictionaries with keys 'amount', 'type', 'date'
- Output: Dictionary with total income, total expenses, net balance
- Include type hints
- Add comprehensive docstring
- Handle edge cases (empty list, invalid data)
- Include example usage in comments
For Writing

- Attention: Hook with surprising statistic
- Interest: Connect to reader's pain point
- Desire: Hint at the solution
- Action: Encourage them to read on

For Analysis
Perform a SWOT analysis on [company/product]:
Format:

|----------|--------|
| Strengths | 1. 2. 3. |
| Weaknesses | 1. 2. 3. |
| Opportunities | 1. 2. 3. |
| Threats | 1. 2. 3. |
Then provide 3 strategic recommendations based on this analysis.
For Data
Analyze this CSV data and provide:
1. Summary statistics (mean, median, std for numerical columns)
2. Missing value analysis
3. Correlation insights
4. Three interesting patterns or anomalies
5. Recommended next steps for deeper analysis
Present findings in a clear, non-technical summary suitable for 
a business stakeholder.
Prompt Templates
The CRISP Framework
Context: [Background information]
Role: [Who the AI should act as]
Instructions: [Specific task]
Specifics: [Details, constraints, format]
Perspective: [Viewpoint or angle]
The CREATE Framework
Character: You are a [role]
Request: I need you to [task]
Examples: Here are some examples [examples]
Adjustments: Make sure to [constraints]
Type: Format the output as [format]
Extras: Also consider [additional context]
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Being Too Vague
❌ “Make it better”
✅ “Improve the clarity by using shorter sentences and adding transition words”
2. Overloading with Instructions
❌ Long paragraph with 10 different requirements
✅ Numbered list with clear, separate instructions
3. Not Specifying Format
❌ “Give me information about X”
✅ “List 5 key facts about X as bullet points”
4. Forgetting Context
❌ “Continue from where we left off”
✅ “We were discussing [topic]. Specifically, you mentioned [key point]. Now…”
Model-Specific Tips

Version B: "Provide a 3-sentence executive summary of this article, 
           highlighting the main argument and key evidence."
Compare outputs for:
- Accuracy
- Completeness
- Clarity
- Usefulness
Prompt Versioning
Keep track of your prompts:
PROMPTS = {
    "summary_v1": "Summarize: {text}",
    "summary_v2": "In 3 sentences, summarize the key points: {text}",
    "summary_v3": """Provide a structured summary:
        - Main Point:
        - Supporting Evidence:
        - Conclusion:
        
        Text: {text}"""
}
