Prompt Engineering
The skill of writing instructions that get AI models to do exactly what you want. This hub collects every article, lesson, and resource on the topic — from first principles to advanced techniques.
What is Prompt Engineering?
Prompt engineering is the practice of crafting inputs to AI language models (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) to produce accurate, useful, and reliable outputs. Unlike traditional programming, you communicate in natural language — but the structure, context, and phrasing of what you write still matters enormously.
A well-engineered prompt can mean the difference between a generic, unusable response and a precise, professional output that saves hours of work. The techniques range from simple (be specific, give context) to advanced (chain-of-thought reasoning, multi-step prompt pipelines).
