Prompt Engineering
[/prɒmpt ˌendʒɪˈnɪərɪŋ/]
Definitions
Automatischer Uebersetzungsentwurf (German) for "Prompt Engineering": The craft of designing, structuring, and refining inputs (prompts) to elicit desired outputs from large language models. A skilled prompt engineer understands how to use context, examples, formatting, and instruction clarity to guide model behavior without changing the underlying weights.
“Beispielentwurf: Good prompt engineering turned an unreliable prototype into a production-ready feature in just a week.”
