Prompt Engineering

Category: Technical

Prompt engineering is writing instructions that get clear, reliable and useful results from AI models: stating the task and format precisely, supplying the right context and examples, refining the prompt when the first answer misses, and keeping sensitive data out. Assessment items present real prompts and outputs and ask what to change, so the skill is measured on judgement rather than memorised templates.
