Prompt Engineering

The practice of designing inputs to LLMs to elicit accurate, consistent, useful outputs.

Prompt engineering is the practice of designing inputs to large language models to elicit accurate, consistent, and useful outputs. Modern prompt engineering combines techniques like few-shot examples, chain-of-thought reasoning, structured output (JSON mode, function calling), system prompts, role assignment, and prompt chaining across multiple LLM calls. Production prompt systems require version control, evaluation frameworks (e.g. Promptfoo, Inspect, custom eval harnesses), regression testing, and cost monitoring. Empire325 designs production prompt systems with rigorous evaluation, automated regression detection, and clear separation between business logic and prompt content.
