Prompt Engineering Guide Workflow

A practical prompt planning template inspired by an open prompt-engineering guide for clearer model instructions.

Prompt template

Act as a careful prompt editor. Turn the goal below into a precise instruction with role, context, constraints, steps, and an observable output format. Do not invent missing facts; list assumptions separately.

Goal:
{{GOAL}}

Context:
{{CONTEXT}}

Constraints:
{{CONSTRAINTS}}

Input and output

Input: Goal, verified context, and explicit constraints.

Output: A structured prompt plus a short assumptions section.

Examples

Input: Goal: summarize an incident report for an engineering handoff. Context: sanitized timeline and logs. Constraints: separate facts from hypotheses.

Output: A prompt that requests a concise incident summary with confirmed facts, hypotheses, unknowns, and next actions.

Security notes

Remove private data from the task context before sending it to a hosted model.
