• specify-length-format-etc — Output shaping is constraining the form of a response — length, structure, schema, tone — so it can be…
• iterate-and-test-your-prompts — Prompt iteration is treating a prompt as code under test: version it, run it against a fixed example set,…
• chain-of-thought-cot — Chain of Thought is prompting a model to emit intermediate reasoning steps before its final answer,…
• react-reason-act — ReAct is a prompting pattern that interleaves reasoning traces with tool actions, letting a model think,…
