What is Prompt Design?
Writing instructions for an AI that state the task, context, limits and the result you want.
What you learn
Write down what the model can’t know: task, context, limits, format.
When it helps
the AI’s output is inconsistent or unsuitable, or a repeated AI task needs a reliable specification.
Use it at work
- State the task and who the result is for.
- Give the context the model can’t know.
- Set limits: length, tone and what to avoid.
- Describe the format, and test the prompt on varied cases.
Your output
For one prompt your team reuses, write down the audience, what a good result includes, the limits and the format. Test it on five cases.
Watch for
Assuming the model already knows the audience, the goal and the limits.
