Prompting: From Basics to Reliable Results

Learn a practical progression from role and few-shot prompts to structured outputs, verification and multi-step prompt chains.

  1. Step 1

    System Prompts and Role Prompting: What They Change and What They Don't

    Set useful context without assuming a role prompt guarantees expertise or accuracy.

  2. Step 2

    Few-Shot Prompting: Designing Examples That Teach the Model

    Use carefully chosen examples to demonstrate the pattern and quality you expect.

  3. Step 3

    Prompting for Structured Output: JSON, Tables and Schemas

    Ask for predictable JSON, tables and schemas that are easier to review and reuse.

  4. Step 4

    Chain-of-Thought Prompting: When Step-by-Step Reasoning Helps

    Know when decomposition helps and when it adds unnecessary complexity.

  5. Step 5

    Self-Consistency and Verification Prompts for More Reliable Answers

    Improve reliability by checking assumptions, evidence and alternative answers.

  6. Step 6

    Prompt Chaining: Breaking Complex Tasks Into Reliable Steps

    Break complex work into smaller stages with clear hand-offs and checks.
