Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering The process of designing prompts so the agent acts exactly how you want Writing a good system prompt Writing a good system prompt You set the system message when building the AI agent and it remains constant throughout the interaction Include: who it is what it can do what it can’t do how it should behave Essential elements role → who the agent is and what its task is tone & style → casual, formal, domain-specific rules → how specific, constraints and processing limitations & constraints → what the AI agent must not do Difference in roles System prompt → what stays the AI behaviour, defined by you User prompt → what prompt the user gives in the moment System rules System rules are the same every time and define the process User prompts change each time & give the task

Prompting in AI agents instructions for the AI agent: who it is and what it should do a part of the AI agent’s context System prompt defines what the agent does & always holds behaviour User prompt defines the request the goal
