Prompt Engineering
The skill of writing effective instructions that get AI models to produce the output you actually want.
Prompt Engineering is the practice of crafting inputs to AI models so that the outputs are accurate, useful, and formatted correctly. A well-written prompt is specific about context, constraints, and the desired format. A poor prompt leads to vague, hallucinated, or unnecessarily verbose responses.
Key techniques include: providing enough context about the codebase or problem, specifying what the AI should and should not do, giving examples of the desired output format, breaking complex tasks into smaller sub-tasks, and iterating on prompts when the first attempt misses the mark.
In a vibe coding workflow, prompt engineering is a core skill. The quality of what the AI builds is directly proportional to the clarity of what you ask it to build.
