1. Best practices for prompt engineering (by OpenAI)
This first resource isn’t extensive, but I wanted to put it on top of the list because is a guide made by OpenAI about the best practices for prompt engineering.
In the guide, you’ll see a list of dos and don’ts for prompting. Here are some of the concepts and tips covered in the guide:
- Be specific, descriptive, and as detailed as possible about the desired context, outcome, length, format, style, etc
- Articulate the desired output format through examples
- Zero-shot prompt and Few-shot prompt
- Instead of just saying what not to do, say what to do instead
- Parameters (very useful for API and Playground users)
The OpenAI guide is a good starting point to familiarize yourself with prompt engineering, so I highly recommend you check it out.
