Spell out prompt engineering (no PE)
L0–L1 · Curious–Hands On (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
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.
