concise, and relevant. Unoptimized prompts can lead to unintended consequences. • Use delimiters: Separate different parts of your prompt (instructions, context, examples, etc.) using clear delimiters like ###, """, —, or XML like tags to help the AI distinguish between sections. • Overall structure of the prompt: Start with role, task, instructions on how to accomplish the task, finally have styling instructions. • Provide relevant context: When possible relevant background information to help the AI understand the task better. This is typically interleaved with the task instructions. For domain-specific context/knowledge, we typically use retrieval augmented generation. • Avoid prompts that are discriminatory, offensive, or unsafe. Be mindful of the potential for bias in your prompts.
