Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering is the art of formulating inputs (prompts) so that an AI model delivers the best possible response. Good prompts are specific, context-rich, and clearly structured. Techniques like few-shot prompting (giving examples) or chain-of-thought (thinking step by step) significantly improve the quality of results.
