Prompt engineering
What is prompt engineering?
Prompt engineering is the practice of structuring the instructions, context and examples given to a language model so it produces reliable, correctly formatted output for a specific task.
In production the leverage is less in clever wording and more in structure: explicit role, explicit output schema, few-shot examples drawn from real cases, and a fallback when the model is unsure.
