Look for this insight

Say “prompt engineering” in plain words: role, task, format, constraints — not unexplained “PE.”

Lesson hook

Prompt engineering simply means writing clear instructions for a model: who it should be, what to do, what format to use, what constraints to follow, and how good the result needs to be. We'll spell it all out until you've proven you know the vocabulary.

Do this now

Open any chat tool and paste: 'Rewrite this weak prompt into a strong one using role, task, format, and constraints: make a summary of the meeting.' You're done when your new prompt clearly includes at least a role and a format.
