Prompt Engineering Basics for PromptPlan Templates

Prompt engineering in PromptPlan

Prompt engineering here means building templates that produce reliable outcomes across changing inputs.

Basic techniques

• Role framing: define perspective or job
• Structured output: request fixed sections
• Constraints: set boundaries and exclusions
• Input segmentation: separate context fields cleanly

Example

Instead of one large block, split fields into:

• business_goal
• constraints
• source_material

This gives better control and debuggability.

What to track

Use run history to observe:

• failure patterns
• overlong outputs
• repeated ambiguity

Then refine prompt instructions accordingly.
