Prompt Engineering
Data Science, Analytics and AI/ML
Prompt engineering is the practice of designing and refining the text inputs given to large language models (LLMs) to elicit accurate, relevant, and useful outputs. Practitioners—ranging from AI researchers to product designers and everyday users—use techniques like providing examples (few-shot prompting), specifying roles, and structuring instructions clearly to improve model performance on tasks such as writing, coding, or reasoning. It has emerged as a distinct skill set since the rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude.
