Basic Principles of Prompt Engineering 1. Clarity and Specificity

• Be clear about what you want.
• Specify format, length, tone, or style if needed.

Example:

• Vague: “Tell me about climate change.”
• Clear: “Summarize the main causes of climate change in three bullet points.”

2. Contextualization

• Provide background or context to help the model understand your intent.

Example:

• “As a financial analyst, explain the impact of inflation on bond prices.”

3. Instruction and Constraints

• Use explicit instructions or constraints to guide the response.

Example:

• “List three pros and three cons of remote work.”

4. Iterative Refinement

• Test and tweak your prompts based on the outputs.
• Adjust wording, add details, or break complex tasks into steps.
