Prompt Engineering: The Ultimate Guide

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “A computer is only as good as the person using it.” The same applies to AI models such as ChatGPT or Gemini. For example, a software developer gets a lot more out of a computer compared to a passive user, who only casually browses the internet and drafts documents.

The same goes for AI models. Those who have taken the time to learn prompt engineering get more out of Large Language Models compared to those who don’t. Yes, even prompt engineering beginners can learn to optimize AI models’ output. That said, taking the time to learn how to write effective prompts can open up a world of possibilities.

In this article, we will break down prompt engineering for you to start benefiting immediately. Let’s dive in!

What is Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering refers to writing effective instructions for large language models(LLMs), such as ChatGPT, to generate content as desired by the user. Different AI models require different prompting techniques to get the desired output. For this reason, it’s crucial to grasp the strengths, weaknesses, and biases of the model you are working with.

As an example, I used two different prompts on ChatGPT to gauge the output. The prompts had a similar goal: provide instructions on how to lose weight. Here are the prompts:

How can I lose weight?

The first prompt was straightforward, and although the model responded with a solution, it lacked depth.

Act as a world-class personal trainer and write a detailed plan on how to lose 20 kgs in 3 months. Take a deep breath and think step by step.

This was the most desirable ChatGPT response for me. The model broke down the prompt into actionable steps that I could follow. It created daily meal and workout plans, organized them into bullet points and tables, included tips on what to avoid, and even offered optional advice such as the use of supplements and more.

As you can see, the results can vary wildly depending on how you prompt the model.

Evolution of Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering has evolved significantly in the last few years, mirroring the rapid advancement of LLMs. Interestingly, the evolution of prompt engineering strongly resembles the evolution of internet search–from static templates to context-aware systems.

For example, in the early days of NLP and chatbot development, prompts were static templates. Here’s an example of a static prompt: “Hello, [User_Name]! How can I help you today?” These systems relied on predefined rules, basic keyword recognition, and rigid templates with placeholder variables. The limitations of these were that these systems couldn’t understand user context, lacked reasoning abilities, and easily broke down with unexpected input.

When AI models like GPT-2 emerged, prompt design was mostly about getting the model to complete a sentence or paragraph. For example, “The capital of France is…” This was useful but often unpredictable, required trial and error, and had no memory of previous input.

With GPT-3, prompt engineering shifted to an instruction-based approach. Users realized they could instruct the model clearly. Example prompt: “Translate the following sentence to Spanish: ‘Hello, how are you?'” This phase introduced zero-shot prompting, few-shot prompting, and a focus on natural language instructions.

In the current era of GPT-4 and Claude, prompts started leveraging contextual awareness, including:

• Persistent memory
• Multi-turn conversations
• Dynamic system instructions
• Tool use and plugins
• User personalization

Here’s an example:

A user says, “Summarize this email thread like a Slack update,” and the model:

• Understands it’s for a work context
• Pulls from prior chat history
• Formats output in the expected style

Prompt Engineering Guide (Tips & Tricks)

The main goal of prompt engineering is to define a problem as clearly as possible for the model. However, this is easier said than done. As humans, we often struggle with defining problems. This is evident in a recent survey that revealed 85% of C-suite executives consider their organizations bad at diagnosing problems.

Below, we dive into prompt engineering tips that will help you craft more effective prompts.

1. Give it a persona

Act as a financial advisor/ personal assistant/ trip planner

Assume you’re Warren Buffett, the top value investor in the world.

I’ve noticed AI models work well with specific personas, especially in niche domains. For example, if you’d like a specific diet plan or workout, such as HIIT, you can start your weight loss prompt as I’ve suggested below.

• “Assume you’re Caroline Girvan, create a detailed 5-day HIIT workout plan (Monday to Friday)…”

You can always Google the expert’s name if you don’t have one in mind. In this case, I Googled, “Top HIIT trainers on YouTube.”

For a specific diet plan like the Keto Diet, you can modify the prompt to:

• “Assume you’re a world-class Keto Dietician, prepare a detailed and structured 30-day diet plan…”

AI models are trained on a mountain of data from every domain imaginable. Instructing it to adopt a certain persona helps it narrow down to that persona, providing the desired style and reasoning for the task.

2. Be hyper-specific

Specificity is key when working with AI models. The more detailed your prompts are, the better the LLMs’ output will be. Remember, AI models are trained on almost all human knowledge. Your goal with every prompt is to synthesize this knowledge into solving a single task.

The best prompts clearly define the persona, the task, the desired output, and any constraints. Crafting hyper-specific prompts requires a deep understanding of the problem and articulating it clearly.

3. Use constraints

In some cases, using constraints in your prompt helps create boundaries that lead the AI to generate the desired result. For instance, describing the tone, length, and format for a social media post helps the model generate a result that suits your needs. Below are two example prompts to illustrate my point.

 "Write a social media post about top remote work skills."

compared to:

"Write a 200-word LinkedIn post about top remote work skills. Use a casual tone suitable for a Gen-Z audience."

It’s clear that the second prompt leads to a more accurate and relevant result.

4. Provide examples (Few-shot prompting)

You can guide AI models to generate specific results by providing examples. For instance, if you would like ChatGPT to generate social media posts, you can provide samples of posts you would like it to mimic.

The AI model can adopt the tone, format, style, length, and target audience of the example posts. This is a fantastic way of crafting hyper-specific prompts.

5. Unleash the AI skeptic

Most AI models’ default personality is too agreeable. In most cases, you want them to criticize your ideas, work, etc., and provide valuable feedback. So, to unleash the AI skeptic, you can incorporate these or similar instructions into your prompts.

• “Prioritise truth over agreement.”
• “If my thinking is off or my reasoning is flawed, say so directly and without sugar-coating.”
• “Don’t shy away from strong opinions when they’re warranted.”

Using these instructions will cause the AI model to override its default settings and provide critical outputs.

6. Eliminate the em-dash

ChatGPT specifically is notorious for using the em-dash. This can be annoying and suspicious, especially for certain use cases, like blog posts. It’s a good idea to instruct ChatGPT to refrain from using it.

7. AI models write great prompts

Writing effective prompts is an art and a science. For this reason, most people lack the patience and capability to write prompts that yield what they are looking for. In this case, you can use AI models to write your prompts for you. As an example, let’s expand the following prompt using ChatGPT.

Original prompt:

"Assume you're Caroline Girvan, create a detailed 5-day HIIT workout plan (Monday to Friday)..."

Expanded prompt by ChatGPT:

Assume you are Caroline Girvan, the renowned fitness trainer known for your high-intensity, strength-driven workouts that are accessible yet challenging. Create a detailed 5-day HIIT workout plan (Monday to Friday) that follows your unique training style — combining functional movements, bodyweight and dumbbell exercises, and a mix of cardio and strength training for fat burn, endurance, and overall strength.

Each day should include:

Workout Theme: (e.g., Full Body Burn, Lower Body Blast, Core & Cardio, etc.)

Duration: Ideally between 30–45 minutes

Equipment Needed: (e.g., dumbbells, yoga mat, resistance bands — minimal and home-friendly)

Warm-Up: 5–7 minutes, dynamic full-body warm-up

Workout Structure:

Type: (e.g., EMOM, Tabata, Supersets, Ladder, Circuit, etc.)

Number of rounds

Work/rest intervals

Total number of exercises

Short descriptions or names of each exercise

Cool-Down/Stretch: 5–10 minutes

Optional Tips or Motivation: Caroline-style encouragement or training advice (e.g., “Push through those last few reps – you’ve got this!”)

Make sure each day is unique, targets different muscle groups or movement styles, and offers a balance of intensity and recovery. You can include a mixture of explosive cardio, strength work, core training, and mobility.

I simply asked ChatGPT to expand the original prompt without adding any details. You can iterate on this prompt by asking ChatGPT to make specific changes that will suit your needs.

8. Iterate

Depending on the task, crafting effective prompts requires you to write, test, and refine the AI prompts until you’re satisfied with the result. A good idea is to start small, then expand the prompt as you go.

For example, let’s say your goal is to lose weight. You can instruct the AI model to write a prompt that can help you lose weight in six months. Based on the results, you can add specific details, like your current weight and desired weight, accessible food items, and preferred workout.

Iterating prompts helps you be as specific as possible with your goal, which is crucial for the output of AI models.

9. Chain-of-Thought reasoning

When assigning complex tasks to AI models, you can encourage them to “think step-by-step” by explicitly prompting them to break down tasks into intermediate reasoning steps. Here’s an example of Chain-of-Thought reasoning prompt:

The odd numbers in this group add up to an even number: 4, 8, 9, 15, 12, 2, 1.
A: Adding all the odd numbers (9, 15, 1) gives 25. The answer is False.
The odd numbers in this group add up to an even number: 15, 32, 5, 13, 82, 7, 1. 
A:

Here’s the result:

Adding all the odd numbers (15, 5, 13, 7, 1) gives 41. The answer is False.

It’s good to note providing one example was noted to work with sufficiently large language models only.

Alternatively, you can ask the model to “think step-by-step” in your prompt. Here’s an example:

I went to the market and bought 10 apples. I gave 2 apples to the neighbor and 2 to the repairman. I then went and bought 5 more apples and ate 1. How many apples did I remain with?
Let's think step by step.

Here’s the result.

First, you started with 10 apples.
You gave away 2 apples to the neighbor and 2 to the repairman, so you had 6 apples left.
Then you bought 5 more apples, so now you had 11 apples.
Finally, you ate 1 apple, so you would remain with 10 apples.

Instead of the model just serving you with a direct answer, it provides steps to its reasoning, increasing its chances of being correct, and also providing a more “thought-out” answer to the user.

10. ReACT (Reason + Act)

ReACT separates the reasoning process from the action in AI models. It’s a step-up from Chain-of-Thought reasoning in that AI models leverage external information or tools to influence their reasoning. This leads to more accurate and reliable responses.

For example, ChatGPT’s latest models, such as GPT-4o, automatically incorporate the ReACT framework in their responses when applicable, like when it uses the web tool to find the latest information that it’s not trained on.

5 Prompt Engineering Frameworks For Maximum Output

Prompt engineering frameworks serve as structured guides to craft better prompts for language models systematically. They help users think critically about what they’re asking, how they’re asking it, and what kind of output they want. Here’s a breakdown of how frameworks contribute to effective prompt engineering.

1. SPEAR framework

The SPEAR framework helps you keep things simple and focused. SPEAR stands for Start, Provide, Explain, Ask, and Rinse & Repeat.

Here’s an example prompt based on the SPEAR framework.

Start: "You're a certified fitness coach and nutritionist with experience helping busy professionals lose weight sustainably. Act as my personal coach."

Provide: "I’m 32, female, 5'6", 172 lbs. I work a desk job from 9–5, lightly active, and I prefer home workouts and simple, affordable meals. My goal is to lose 1–2 pounds per week."

Explain: "Give me a 7-day plan that includes daily calorie targets, simple meal suggestions, and short 20–30 minute home workouts. Make it flexible and realistic, not extreme."

Ask: "Before generating the plan, ask me a few clarifying questions if needed—like dietary restrictions, past struggles, or schedule constraints."

Rinse & Repeat: "At the end of each day’s plan, include a quick tip and ask if I’d like to adjust anything before continuing to the next day."

What I like about this framework is that the Rinse & Repeat step ensures the AI doesn’t respond once; instead, it evolves with the user’s needs, prompting the model to adapt based on new input.

Ideal use cases for the SPEAR framework are: health and fitness coaching, daily productivity systems, skill learning, therapy-style journaling, long-term planning, and more.

2. The RACE framework

The RACE framework enables small and medium-sized businesses to optimize their communication and engagement strategies by leveraging AI. The framework involves four stages: Reach, Act, Convert, and Engage.

The RACE framework, with the help of AI, enables organizations to craft targeted messages, refine customer engagement tactics, and analyze customer interactions.

Here’s a prompt based on the RACE framework:

You're a digital marketing strategist helping a SaaS company improve customer acquisition and retention. Using the RACE framework (Reach, Act, Convert, Engage), help me develop a campaign for our new productivity tool.

For each phase, do the following:

Briefly explain the goal of that stage.

Suggest 2–3 tailored strategies or channels we should use.

Include a relevant metric we should track.

End each stage by asking a clarifying question to better customize the next step.

The goal is to generate a complete strategy across the customer journey—from awareness to advocacy.

This prompt helps you develop an end-to-end marketing campaign. Better yet, by asking you questions, it keeps you in the loop to ensure the plan is customized to your needs.

3. The FOCUS framework

The FOCUS framework is designed to enhance clarity in complex decision-making processes. By emphasizing the core aspects of any challenge, it provides a laser-focused approach to problem-solving and strategic planning. FOCUS stands for: Function, Objective, Context, Utility, and Specifications.

Here’s a prompt based on the FOCUS framework for brainstorming and planning an AI web app.

"You're a product strategist and AI engineer helping me plan a successful AI-powered web application using the FOCUS framework. The goal is to validate, design, and prepare to build this product.

Follow the FOCUS framework and guide me step-by-step:*

1. Find the Problem: Ask me questions to identify a real, urgent problem worth solving with AI. Summarize the core pain point.

2. Organize the Solution: Help brainstorm potential AI-driven solutions. Outline the most feasible option and its key features.

3. Clarify Assumptions: List out risky assumptions (e.g., user behavior, data availability, AI capabilities). Suggest ways to test each quickly.

4. Understand the User: Help me define the ideal user persona. Ask clarifying questions about the user’s goals, habits, and context.

5. Sketch the System: Outline the app's architecture and user flow, including inputs, outputs, and how AI fits into the process.

The FOCUS framework is a fantastic tool for analyzing every aspect of a project. For example, I like the Clarify Assumptions and Understand the User bits of FOCUS. Clarify Assumptions floats the risks associated with a project, and Understand the User crafts a persona of the ideal user to understand their needs.

4. The 4S framework

The 4S framework is a top prompt engineering framework geared towards content creation. It focuses on elements of Structure, Style, Substance, and Speed to ensure AI-generated content is engaging and informative.

This framework is ideal for industries where the quality and impact of messaging are crucial, such as digital marketing, educational content, and corporate communications.

Here’s an example of a 4S prompt at work.

You are a professional blog writer. Use the 4S Framework to help me write a blog article on how to use AI tools for productivity

Subject: How to use AI tools for productivity
Structure: Step-by-step guide
Style: Conversational and educational (targeting remote workers)
Specifics: Include use cases for Notion AI, ChatGPT, and Zapier. Add SEO keywords like “AI tools for remote work” and end with a CTA to sign up for a free newsletter.

Follow the structure, maintain the tone, and ensure the article is actionable, original, and engaging.

By using the 4S framework, AI can produce content that resonates with audiences, maintains brand consistency, and delivers value efficiently.

5. SCAMPER framework

The SCAMPER framework is suited to innovators looking for unconventional ideas with the help of AI. SCAMPER stands for Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to Another Use, Eliminate, Reverse. Here’s a prompt that adheres to this framework.

You're an expert product designer and innovation strategist. Help me brainstorm creative ways to reinvent the traditional backpack using the SCAMPER method.

For each of the 7 SCAMPER categories—Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse—do the following:

Explain the principle briefly.

Apply it to the concept of a backpack with 2–3 innovative ideas.

Ask a clarifying question to refine the ideas further based on user needs (e.g., students, hikers, travelers).

Once you're done with all 7 steps, ask me which ideas I'd like to explore further and suggest the next step, like prototyping or validating.

This prompt positions the AI model as a smart assistant or collaborative partner for brainstorming and refining ideas.
