Prompt Strategy

Definitions

1. The overall approach used to design and apply prompts across a task or product, including instruction order, examples, tool use, and fallback behavior. Prompt strategy matters when a system has many interacting prompt components rather than one isolated template.

   In plain English: The overall plan for how prompts are structured and used.

   Example: "Their prompt strategy separated routing, retrieval, and final answer generation so each prompt could be evaluated independently."
