Prompt engineering
Prompt engineering is the design and testing of instructions, examples and output requirements given to an AI model.
Also known as:
In a sales team
A prompt asks the assistant to separate confirmed buyer evidence, assumptions and unanswered questions in a deal review.

What to check in practice
Compare outputs on difficult examples rather than judging a prompt by how polished it sounds.
