The skill of crafting and refining instructions for AI language models to produce accurate, relevant, and high-quality outputs across diverse tasks.
Prompt engineering is the practice of designing effective inputs for large language models. It spans from writing clear queries to architecting multi-step workflows with chain-of-thought reasoning, system prompts, and agent orchestration, bridging human intent and machine capability.
You have begun interacting with AI chatbots and can obtain simple answers. You accept outputs at face value without evaluating quality or iterating. You are learning that phrasing directly affects the response, and you are starting to explore what these tools can and cannot do.
