21
+
22
+ ## When to Use
23
+
24
+ Use this skill when:
25
+
26
+ - A user wants to write, improve, debug, or compare prompts for an LLM.
27
+ - The task needs a prompt strategy for a scenario such as Q&A, ideation, extraction, RAG, coding, safety review, or agent/tool use.
28
+ - The user needs decoding or output controls such as temperature, top-p, top-k, max tokens, stop sequences, or repetition penalties.
29
+ - Prompt quality needs evaluation through tests, rubrics, structured validation, self-evaluation, or red-team cases.
30
+
31
+ Do not use this skill for:
32
+
33
+ - General project implementation where prompt design is incidental.
34
+ - Provider-specific current model recommendations unless the user asks and current sources can be verified.
35
+ - Replacing safety, legal, medical, financial, or compliance review with prompt wording alone.
36
+
37

38
+
39
+ ## Critical Patterns
40
+
41
+ ### Pattern 1: Build the Prompt Contract First
42
+
43
+ Every strong prompt should make the contract explicit:
44
+
45
+ | Component | Purpose |
46
+ | --- | --- |
47
+ | Role | Sets useful expertise and voice without vague "expert" framing. |
48
+ | Task | Names the single primary outcome. |
49
+ | Context | Supplies only relevant facts, data, sources, or constraints. |
50
+ | Constraints | Defines length, tone, exclusions, evidence rules, and missing-data policy. |
51
+ | Examples | Shows desired input -> output behavior when style or format matters. |
52
+ | Output | Specifies schema, sections, table columns, or final answer boundary. |
53
+ | Evaluation | States how success will be judged or validated. |
54
+
55
+ Default missing-data rule:
56
+
57
+ ```text
58
+ If required information is missing, say "insufficient data" or return null.
59
+ Do not infer or invent facts.
60
+ ```
61
+
62
+ ### Pattern 2: Choose the Lightest Strategy That Fits
63
+
64
+ | Scenario | Recommended strategy |
65
+ | --- | --- |
66
+ | Simple, standard task | Zero-shot with explicit format and length. |
67
+ | Style, label, or schema consistency matters | One-shot or few-shot examples. |
68
+ | Context-grounded answer or RAG | Contextual prompting with delimiters and "use only context." |
69
+ | Principle-heavy planning or critique | Step-back prompting, then apply the criteria. |
70
+ | Math, logic, or multi-step reasoning | Bounded reasoning with a clear final answer contract. |
71
+ | Hard reasoning where one path may fail | Self-consistency with multiple samples and vote/verify. |
72
+ | Exploration or planning with many possible paths | Tree of Thoughts with breadth, depth, and scoring limits. |
73
+ | Tool or external-data workflow | ReAct-style Thought/Action/Observation/Final boundaries. |
74
+ | Safety, bias, or policy risk | Debiasing instructions, red-team cases, fallback text, and low randomness. |
75
+
76
+ ### Pattern 3: Tune Parameters by Risk and Goal
77
+
78
+ | Goal | Starting controls |
79
+ | --- | --- |
80
+ | Factual Q&A, classification, code, compliance | `temperature=0.0-0.3`, lower `top_p`, no repetition penalties. |
81
+ | General explanations, summaries, UX copy | `temperature=0.4-0.6`, `top_p=0.8-0.95`, mild penalties only if repetitive. |
82
+ | Creative ideation, slogans, fiction, brainstorming | `temperature=0.8-1.0`, `top_p=0.9-1.0`, higher `top_k`, generate multiple candidates. |
83
+ | Structured JSON, code, legal/medical terminology | Keep penalties at `0.0`; use schema/function calling or validation. |
84
+
85
+ Rules:
86
+
87
+ - `max_tokens` caps output; it does not make writing concise.
88
+ - Stop sequences define clean boundaries; keep a rare sentinel as a finish line.
89
+ - Tune one primary knob at a time, usually temperature or top-p.
90
+ - Model/provider choice should be based on durable traits: context length, cost, latency, modality, tool support, deployment constraints, safety posture, and instruction-following reliability.
91
+
92
+ ### Pattern 4: Validate, Repair, and Version Prompts
93
+
94
+ Use this loop:
95
+
96
+ ```text
97
+ Draft prompt -> run examples -> inspect failures -> refine prompt/params -> validate -> version
98
+ ```
99
+
100
+ For production prompts:
101
+
102
+ - Add golden tests for schema, sections, length, and expected decisions.
103
+ - Validate structured outputs with JSON Schema, Zod, Pydantic, regex, or equivalent parsers.
104
+ - Use a rubric judge or self-evaluation pass when quality cannot be checked mechanically.
105
+ - Add red-team and debiasing cases when prompts touch safety, sensitive attributes, tools, PII, or policy.
106
+ - Track prompt version, model, parameters, metrics, known failures, and rationale.
107
+
108
+ ---
109
+
110
+ ## Decision Tree
111
+
112
+ ```text
113
+ Is the task simple and low risk?
114
+ YES -> Use zero-shot with role, task, format, and length.
115
+
116
+ Does the output need exact structure or style?
117
+ YES -> Use few-shot examples plus schema/JSON/tool mode and validation.
118
+
119
+ Must the answer use only supplied facts?
120
+ YES -> Delimit context, say "use only context", define missing-data behavior.
121
+
122
+ Does the task require reasoning or design tradeoffs?
123
+ YES -> Use step-back first; add bounded reasoning or ToT only if needed.
124
+
125
+ Does the model need tools or current external data?
126
+ YES -> Use ReAct boundaries, allowed tools, observations, and final-answer stop.
127
+
128
+ Could bias, unsafe content, prompt injection, PII, or tool abuse matter?
129
+ YES -> Add safety/debiasing rules, red-team tests, low randomness, and fallback.
130
+
131
+ Otherwise
132
+ -> Use the general prompt template and evaluate one or two outputs.
133
+ ```

+ # Evaluation Checklist
2
+
3
+ ## Prompt Quality Checklist
4
+
5
+ - Single primary objective is clear.
6
+ - Role is scoped to useful expertise and audience.
7
+ - Context is delimited and contains no unnecessary noise.
8
+ - Output format is explicit: schema, sections, table columns, or marker.
9
+ - Length, tone, exclusions, and missing-data behavior are specified.
10
+ - Few-shot examples are short, consistent, and cover important edge cases.
11
+ - Safety, injection, or debiasing rules exist when the scenario needs them.
12
+ - Decoding parameters match the task risk and creativity target.
13
+ - Evaluation method is defined before broad reuse.
14
+
15
+ ## Failure Diagnosis
16
+
17
+ | Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
18
+ | --- | --- | --- |
19
+ | Vague or generic answer | Task under-specified | Add audience, deliverable, constraints, and success criteria. |
20
+ | Hallucinated facts | Weak grounding or missing-data policy | Add context delimiters, "use only context", citations, and insufficient-data behavior. |
21
+ | Invalid JSON | Prompt-only structure is too weak or randomness too high | Use JSON/schema/tool mode, lower temperature, increase `max_tokens`, validate and repair. |
22
+ | Output too long | Length goal not explicit | Add word/token cap, exact sections, bullet limits, and stop sentinel. |
23
+ | Output truncated | `max_tokens` too low or context too large | Increase budget, chunk by section, reduce context, or use structured generation. |
24
+ | Repetitive prose | Prompt lacks variety rule or penalties are too low | Ask for varied openings; then add mild presence/frequency penalties. |
25
+ | Weird synonyms or term drift | Repetition penalties too high | Lower penalties; add exact terminology guardrails. |
26
+ | Biased or sensitive inference | Prompt allows unsupported attributes | Add non-inference rule, evidence requirement, counterfactual tests. |
27
+ | Prompt injection succeeds | Retrieved/user data treated as instructions | Mark docs as untrusted, forbid following embedded instructions, sanitize inputs. |
28
+ | Tool call is unsafe | Tool boundaries too broad | Define allowed tools, argument constraints, dry-run mode, and approval gates. |
29
+
30
+ ## Production Metrics
31
+
32
+ - Schema validity rate.
33
+ - Constraint adherence rate: sections, length, required fields, forbidden content.
34
+ - Groundedness: unsupported claims per 100 outputs.
35
+ - Accuracy/F1/exact match for classification or extraction.
36
+ - Rubric pass rate for generative tasks.
37
+ - Safety flag rate and false positive/negative rate.
38
+ - Bias counterfactual consistency.
39
+ - Truncation rate and stop-sequence hit rate.
40
+ - Average output tokens, latency, and cost.
41
+ - Human escalation or abstention rate.
42
+
43
+ ## Evaluation Loop
44
+
45
+ ```text
46
+ 1. Build a small dev set with normal, edge, and adversarial examples.
47
+ 2. Run the prompt with fixed parameters.
48
+ 3. Validate mechanically where possible.
49
+ 4. Judge qualitative outputs with a concise rubric.
50
+ 5. Add failing examples to tests or few-shot coverage.
51
+ 6. Re-run and compare metrics, cost, and latency.
52
+ 7. Version the prompt, parameters, rationale, and known failures.
53
+ ```
54
+
55
+ ## Calibration and Abstention
56
+
57
+ When confidence affects user trust or automation:
58
+
59
+ - Treat self-reported confidence as uncalibrated.
60
+ - Compare confidence or verifier scores against labeled outcomes.
61
+ - Pick thresholds for auto-answer, abstain, repair, or human review.
62
+ - Monitor by slice: domain, language, input length, and task type.
63
+ - Recalibrate when model, prompt, data, or retrieval changes.

173
+ ```text
174
+ Act as an AI red-team reviewer for this prompt/system.
175
+
176
+ Scope:
177
+ - Jailbreak or instruction override
178
+ - Prompt injection from user or retrieved content
179
+ - Data leakage, PII, or secret exposure
180
+ - Unsafe tool use
181
+ - Bias, toxicity, or unsupported sensitive inference
182
+ - Format or schema failure
183
+
184
+ Return:
185
+ 1. Top risks, ordered by severity
186
+ 2. Concrete attack prompts or test cases
187
+ 3. Expected safe behavior
188
+ 4. Prompt or system changes to reduce risk
189

198
+ ```text
199
+ Write in neutral, respectful language.
200
+ Do not infer age, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, socioeconomic status, or other sensitive attributes unless explicitly supplied and necessary.

6
+ | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
7
+ | Factual Q&A | Zero-shot or contextual | role, direct task, source/evidence rule | `temperature=0.0-0.3`, lower `top_p` | source check, unsupported-claim scan |
8
+ | Executive summary | Zero-shot with structure | audience, word cap, exact sections | `temperature=0.3-0.6`, `top_p=0.8-0.95` | length, section presence, factuality |
9
+ | Creative ideation | High-diversity sampling | goal, audience, exclusions, variety guardrail | `temperature=0.8-1.0`, `top_p=0.9-1.0`, higher `top_k` | curate batch, dedupe, score originality |
10
+ | Marketing copy | Few-shot plus style constraints | brand voice, examples, forbidden claims | `temperature=0.6-0.8`, mild penalties | claim review, tone review |
11
+ | JSON extraction | Structured output | JSON-only, schema, null-if-missing | `temperature=0.0-0.3`, no penalties, adequate `max_tokens` | parse and schema validation |
12
+ | Classification | Zero/few-shot | labels, decision rules, tie/unknown policy | `temperature=0.0-0.2` | accuracy/F1 on labeled set |
13
+ | RAG answer | Contextual prompting | trusted docs delimiters, injection guardrail | `temperature=0.0-0.3` | citation match, groundedness check |
14
+ | Coding help | Role plus constraints | language, existing patterns, tests, no hallucinated APIs | `temperature=0.0-0.3`, no penalties | compile/tests/static checks |
15
+ | Reasoning/math | Bounded reasoning | numbered steps, final answer marker | `temperature=0.0-0.3` | independent verification |
16
+ | Ambiguous planning | Step-back or Tree of Thoughts | criteria first, breadth/depth limits, scoring rubric | `temperature=0.4-0.7` | rubric score, constraint check |
17
+ | Tool/agent workflow | ReAct | allowed tools, action format, final boundary | low temperature for tool selection | tool-call allowlist, stop condition |
18
+ | Safety-sensitive answer | Guardrailed prompt | refusal/fallback, evidence rule, low variance | `temperature=0.0-0.2` | red-team cases, policy gate |
19
+ | Bias-sensitive decision | Debiasing prompt | non-inference rule, evidence fields, uncertainty | `temperature=0.0-0.3` | counterfactual tests |
20
+ | Production prompt optimization | APE plus evaluation | candidate generation, dev set, metrics | vary intentionally, keep judge low temp | hold-out metrics, latency/cost |
21
+
22
+ ## Parameter Notes
23
+
24
+ - For precision, reduce randomness before adding more instructions.
25
+ - For creativity, generate multiple candidates and select; do not rely on one high-temperature output.
26
+ - For JSON, code, schemas, and strict terminology, keep presence and frequency penalties at `0.0`.
27
+ - For long prose or brainstorming, add mild repetition penalties only after prompt-level variety rules are insufficient.
28
+ - Use `max_tokens` for cost and truncation control; use explicit length instructions for concision.
29
+ - Use stop sequences such as `<<END>>` or `###END###` when the endpoint must be unambiguous.

+
31
+ ## Technique Selection
32
+
33
+ ```text
34
+ Need speed and task is common? -> Zero-shot
35
+ Need exact examples copied in spirit? -> One-shot/few-shot
36
+ Need answers grounded in provided docs? -> Contextual/RAG prompting
37
+ Need principles before details? -> Step-back prompting
38
+ Need hard reasoning reliability? -> Self-consistency or verifier
39
+ Need exploration with alternatives? -> Tree of Thoughts
40
+ Need tools? -> ReAct boundaries
41
+ Need production reliability? -> Structured output + validation + tests

42
+
43
+ ## Durable-Only Provider Guidance
44
+
45
+ `Models_commonly_known.pdf` includes provider and flagship-model examples that may become stale. This skill uses only durable selection criteria from that material:
46
+
47
+ - context window and retrieval strategy
48
+ - cost and latency
49
+ - modality support
50
+ - tool/function calling support
51
+ - deployment and data-residency constraints
52
+ - safety posture and instruction-following behavior
53
+ - reproducibility and ecosystem fit
54
+
55
+ Do not add current flagship model claims to this skill without verifying them against current official provider sources.
