Prompt engineering

Writing, improving and testing prompts for any AI assistant.

  • Improve a prompt

    Diagnoses why a prompt gives weak or inconsistent results and rewrites it with clear context, task, constraints and output format while keeping its intent. Use on any prompt for any AI assistant.

  • Adapt a prompt for a reasoning model

    Rewrites a prompt for reasoning-capable models by removing step-by-step micromanagement, stating goals, constraints and success criteria, and keeping the output format exact.

  • Adapt a prompt for a small model

    Rewrites a prompt for a small or fast model with one job per call, simpler steps, explicit formats and more examples, plus a test that shows whether quality holds against the original.

  • AI literacy coach

    AI literacy coach who teaches people to use assistants well and critically - what they are good at, how they fail, how to verify outputs and protect privacy. Use for learning to work with AI.

  • Anonymise text before pasting it into an AI tool

    Replaces names, clients, codenames and confidential figures in text with consistent stand-ins before you paste it into an assistant, with a restore key and a check for clues left behind.

  • Audit a prompt for bias

    Audits a prompt for biased framing, stereotyped examples, proxy attributes, exclusionary assumptions and unequal treatment across groups, then suggests neutral rewrites and paired tests.

  • Build an AI output review checklist

    Builds a checklist a team uses to review AI outputs before use, tiered by risk, covering facts, sources, numbers, tone, privacy, rights and sign-off. For teams adopting AI in daily work.

  • Build a prompt from input and output examples

    Reverse-engineers a reusable prompt from input and output example pairs, naming the implicit rules, format and edge cases, then dry-runs the prompt against the examples, including held-out ones.

  • Build a test set for a prompt

    Builds a hand-run test set for a prompt with happy, edge and negative inputs, expected behaviour and checkable pass criteria per case, and a scoring sheet to compare prompt versions side by side.

  • Build a team prompt library

    Designs a shared prompt library for a team - structure, naming, an entry template with variables, ownership, review and versioning - and drafts the first entries for the team's top use cases.

  • Choose a model tier for a task

    Picks a first-choice model tier and reasoning setting for a task from its difficulty, volume, latency, cost and risk, with signs to step up or down and a check sized to the stakes. No model names.

  • Choose the right prompting technique for a task

    Matches a real task to the prompting techniques that fit it - examples, decomposition, attached sources, step-by-step reasoning, structured output or a tool - explains why, and writes a first draft.

  • Choose temperature and other generation settings

    Picks temperature, top-p, maximum output length, stop sequences and seed for an API task, explains each choice and gives a quick repeat-run test for consistency versus variety.

  • Compare AI assistants on your own task

    Sets up a blind side-by-side test of two or three assistants on your real prompts, then grades the pasted outputs against your criteria and recommends which to use and when.

  • Compress a prompt

    Shortens a long prompt while preserving its behaviour, maps every original instruction to where it now lives, reports the real size reduction and lists test inputs to check nothing changed.

  • Convert an SOP into a prompt

    Converts a standard operating procedure into assistant or agent instructions with ordered steps, decision rules, checks, escalation triggers, a gap list and test scenarios traced to the SOP.

  • Create few-shot examples

    Builds a small set of diverse, representative few-shot examples for a task, including tricky and negative cases, balanced so the model learns the rule rather than copying surface patterns.

  • Design a prompt chain

    Splits a complex task into a chain of focused prompts with defined inputs and outputs, checks between steps, failure handling and a test plan. Use when automating multi-step work with AI.

  • Diagnose prompt failures

    Diagnoses why a prompt produces bad answers from failing examples, traces each failure to a root cause, proposes targeted fixes and a quick regression test set.

  • Fix a prompt that keeps breaking a rule

    Finds why a prompt keeps breaking a length, format or banned-word rule and fixes it with better placement, positive phrasing, matching examples and an output check where needed.

  • Harden a prompt against injection

    Hardens a prompt or assistant against prompt injection from untrusted content with input separation, an instruction hierarchy, least-privilege actions, output limits and an attack test set.

  • Learn prompting basics

    Teaches prompting basics interactively on the learner's own tasks, one technique at a time, with before-and-after prompts, a short exercise and feedback. For beginners to AI assistants.

  • Make a prompt work in several languages

    Adapts a prompt so it answers in the user's language and local formats, keeps fixed terms untranslated, handles mixed-language input and comes with a test plan per language.

  • Port a prompt to another model

    Ports a working prompt to another model family or vendor, adjusting structure, examples, format instructions and call settings, with a parity test plan. For builders switching models.

  • Practise spotting AI errors

    Trains AI literacy with rounds of assistant-style answers containing planted errors, such as invented citations, wrong maths or outdated facts, and coaches the user to catch and verify them.

  • Prompt engineer

    Prompt engineer who writes clear, testable instructions, iterates against real examples and evals, and avoids model-specific tricks. Use for designing, debugging and maintaining prompts.

  • Prompt iteration track

    Improves a prompt in gated steps - define success, build test cases, run and grade, diagnose failures, revise, then compare versions on the same cases before adopting the change.

  • Red-team a prompt

    Tests a prompt or assistant setup against adversarial inputs - injection, edge cases, off-topic and harmful requests, data leaks - predicts failures and proposes fixes. For assistant builders.

  • Reduce made-up answers from a prompt

    Rewrites a prompt so answers stay grounded, using source-only answering, quote-then-answer, an explicit not-found reply, known-versus-inferred labels and checkable citations.

  • Run prompt regression tests

    Runs a prompt test set against the current and candidate prompt versions with the project's command, grades outputs with the stated checks and reports regressions, wins and flaky cases side by side.
