Advanced strategies elevate prompt engineering beyond basics. These techniques leverage AI capabilities for complex tasks and specialized applications.
Role-Based Prompting
Define expert personas. “Act as senior data scientist with 10 years experience. Analyze this dataset using statistical methods appropriate for time series data.”
Multi-Step Reasoning
Break complex problems down. “Solve this in three steps: First, identify key variables. Second, establish relationships. Third, calculate final result showing work.”
Constraint Layering
Add multiple requirements. “Write product review meeting these criteria: 200 words, compare to 2 competitors, include 3 pros and 2 cons, maintain neutral tone.”
Output Format Specification
Define exact structure. “Provide response as: Summary paragraph, bulleted key points, table comparing options, recommended action with justification.”
Negative Prompting
Specify what to avoid. “Explain concept without using technical jargon, acronyms, or assuming prior knowledge. Use everyday analogies instead.”
Temperature Control Awareness
Understand creativity settings. For factual content request precision. For creative tasks allow flexibility while maintaining coherence.”
