AI Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering is the skill of writing effective instructions for large language models (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini) to produce accurate, useful outputs. Beyond simple chat, it includes system prompt design, few-shot examples, chain-of-thought reasoning, structured output, and building AI-powered applications. As AI becomes embedded in every tool and workflow, the ability to effectively communicate with AI systems is becoming as fundamental as typing or using search engines.
