Prompt Engineering Tips

Writing Effective Prompts

The quality of AI output depends heavily on your prompts.

Be Specific

Instead of "make it better", say "improve the performance by memoizing expensive calculations and lazy loading images".

Provide Examples

Show the AI what you want: "Format the dates like 'March 22, 2026' instead of '2026-03-22'"

Break Down Complex Tasks

For large features, break them into smaller steps and verify each one before continuing.

Use Clear Language

Avoid ambiguity. Be explicit about file names, function names, and expected behavior.
