Prompt Design
Noun · AI & Machine Learning
Definitions
The work of structuring instructions, examples, formatting, and context so an AI model behaves as intended. Prompt design is both a product and engineering task because clarity, ordering, and constraints can all affect output quality.
In plain English: Designing the prompt so the AI behaves the way you want.
Example: "Better prompt design made the assistant cite sources consistently instead of answering with unsupported summaries."
