Prompt is the starting point for a model to generate output; a language model to generate text, providing context for text generation in natural-language-processing tasks such as chatbots and question-answering systems, or an application to generate images.


What is Prompt Engineering (PE)?

Prompt engineering is a concept in artificial intelligence, particularly Natural Language Processing (NLP). In prompt engineering, the description of the task that the AI is supposed to accomplish is embedded in the input, e.g. as a question, instead of it being explicitly given. Prompt engineering typically works by converting one or more tasks to a prompt-based dataset and training a language model with what has been called "prompt-based learning" or just "prompt learning". It involves selecting the right words, phrases, symbols, and formats that guide the model in generating high-quality and relevant texts³. Prompt engineering can also improve the reasoning ability of Large Language Model (LLM) by prompting them to generate a series of intermediate steps that lead to the final answer of a multi-step problem .

ChatGPT: Master Reverse Prompt Engineering
Have you ever wondered how text generation models work and how they generate responses based on your prompts?

With ChatGPT and Reverse Prompt Engineering, you can improve the performance of your text generation models, generate prompts for creative writing exercises, and gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between prompts and generated text. The possibilities are endless!

Prompting for Text vs Image Generation

Prompting for text generation and image generation are two different tasks, and as such, the prompts that are used for each task are also different.

  • For text generation, the prompt is typically a short sentence or phrase that describes the desired output. For example, a prompt for generating a poem might be "A sonnet about love." The prompt should be specific enough to give the model a clear idea of what is desired, but it should also be open-ended enough to allow for creativity.
  • For image generation, the prompt is typically a more detailed description of the desired image. This might include the subject of the image, the setting, the mood, and any other relevant details. For example, a prompt for generating an image of a cat sitting on a chair might be "A realistic image of a black cat sitting on a red chair in a sunny room." The prompt should be as detailed as possible to give the model a clear idea of what is desired.

Here are some tips for writing effective prompts for text generation and image generation:

  • Be specific. The more specific the prompt, the better the model will be able to understand what you are asking for.
  • Be open-ended. Don't be afraid to leave some room for creativity. The model will use its knowledge of the world to fill in the blanks.
  • Use keywords. If you are not sure how to describe something, use keywords that are related to it. For example, if you want to generate an image of a cat, you could use the keywords "cat," "animal," "furry," and "meow."
  • Use examples. If you can, provide examples of the kind of output you are looking for. This will help the model to understand what you are trying to achieve.

Focus: Managing the Context Window, building step by step, learning as you go


In the realm of prompt engineering, template prompting serves as a versatile framework that facilitates a range of creative processes. Initially, it involves summarizing a specific concept or idea into a structured template. This condensed representation forms the foundation for subsequent activities, such as inferring and transforming the content. By encouraging users to expand upon this template, it sparks the generation of unique and varied products. One notable application is in pitching ideas, where the template serves as a foundational structure to craft and present compelling proposals. Furthermore, in the pursuit of efficient and accessible communication, template prompting also allows for simplifying complex concepts, making them more digestible and actionable.


Prompt Patterns

Some common prompting patterns that have been used with models include...

  • Prompting with being creative vs. predictive: Prompting for creativity encourages open-ended, imaginative responses, while predictive prompting seeks to generate specific, anticipatory information or outcomes
  • Question-Answer Format: Asking a question and expecting an informative answer. For example:
    • Q: "What is the capital of France?"
    • A: "The capital of France is Paris."
  • Instructional Prompts: Providing clear instructions for the model to follow. For example:
    • "Write a short story about a detective solving a mysterious crime."
  • Examples Prompts: Serve as models to demonstrate how to formulate specific writing tasks or questions for inspiration and guidance, e.g. tones, format:
    • User: "Provide fruit found in north America such as apples, blueberries, raspberries
    • AI: "Apples, Blueberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, Cherries, Grapes, Peaches, Plums, Cranberries, Blackberries: "
  • Conversation Continuation: Extending an ongoing conversation. For example:
    • User: "What's the weather like today?"
    • AI: "The weather is sunny and warm. How can I help you?"
  • Fill in the Blank: Leaving a portion of the text incomplete for the model to complete. For example:
    • "Roses are red, violets are ___."
    • AI: "Roses are red, violets are blue."
  • Prompts with Contextual Information: Providing relevant context to guide the model's response. For example:
    • "As a doctor, what would you recommend for treating a common cold?"

Prompt Techniques

Recursively Criticizing and Improving the output (RCI)

The RCI approach significantly outperforms existing LLM methods for automating computer tasks and surpasses supervised learning (SL) and reinforcement learning (RL) approaches on the MiniWoB++ benchmark. RCI is competitive with the state-of-the-art SL+RL method, using only a handful of demonstrations per task rather than tens of thousands, and without a task-specific reward function. Furthermore, we demonstrate RCI prompting's effectiveness in enhancing LLMs' reasoning abilities on a suite of natural language reasoning tasks, outperforming Chain of Thought (CoT) prompting. We find that RCI combined with CoT performs better than either separately.

Chain of Thought (CoT) prompting

The process of an AI model using its own human tendency to ‘think out loud’ is called inner speech or self-dialog. Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting can dramatically improve the multi-step reasoning abilities of Large Language Model (LLM)s. CoT explicitly encourages the LLM to generate intermediate rationales for solving a problem, by providing a series of reasoning steps in the demonstrations. There are two main methods to elicit chain-of-thought reasoning: few-shot prompting and zero-shot prompting. The initial proposition of CoT prompting demonstrated few-shot prompting, wherein at least one example of a question paired with proper human-written CoT reasoning is prepended to the prompt. CoT prompting can effectively elicit complex multi-step reasoning from Large Language Models (LLMs).

However, it is not clear whether CoT is still effective on more recent instruction finetuned (IFT) LLMs such as ChatGPT. IFT is a method for improving the performance and usability of pretrained language models. It involves finetuning language models on a collection of datasets phrased as instructions, which has been shown to improve model performance and generalization to unseen tasks Surprisingly, on ChatGPT, CoT is no longer effective for certain tasks such as arithmetic reasoning while still keeping effective on other reasoning tasks. Moreover, on the former tasks, ChatGPT usually achieves the best performance and can generate CoT even without being instructed to do so.

After I have a rough idea of what I want to accomplish, I try to narrow things down to people, places and things - the core actors or main drivers in the scene I’m trying to construct. I use the service to generate a few rough prompts to get a feel for what the scene might look like. I find it much easier to take something that works well and then add on to it rather than having to go back and remove things until it looks better. You start with the big important strokes and then work in the finer details. ... I see prompt writing from the perspective of an artist, coder and engineer. I use my programming experience to help me understand how the service may interpret my prompt, which guides me to more effective tinkering with it to coax the results I’m after. Every word in a prompt has a weight associated with it, so trying to work out what works best and where becomes a core asset in the skillset. My background in software quality assurance is a pretty big driver in that “what happens if” style of thinking. - Professional AI whisperers have launched a marketplace for DALL-E prompts | Justin Reckling interviewed by article author Adi Robertson - The Verge

Generative AI Pattern Language

A pattern language is an organized and coherent set of patterns, each of which describes a problem and the core of a solution that can be used in many ways within a specific field of expertise. The term was coined by architect Christopher Alexander and popularized by his 1977 book 'A Pattern Language'. Perez argues that self-generating prompts can enable GPT-4 to learn from its own outputs, generate novel and diverse content, and avoid repetition and bias. Perez also suggests some possible applications and challenges of self-generating GPT-4.

Self-generating prompts are a type of prompts that are created by the model itself, based on some initial input or seed. The idea is that the model can use its own outputs as inputs for further generation, creating a feedback loop that can lead to more novel and diverse content. Self-generating prompts can also help the model avoid repetition and bias, as well as learn from its own mistakes and improve over time. Self-generating prompts can work in different ways, depending on the goal and the design of the model. For example, one possible way is to use a two-stage process, where the model first generates a prompt based on the seed, and then generates an output based on the prompt. The output can then be used as the new seed for the next iteration, and so on. Another possible way is to use a multi-modal process, where the model generates prompts and outputs in different formats, such as text, images, audio, or video. The model can then use cross-modal inputs and outputs to generate more diverse and creative content.

For example, if you want to generate text using a generative AI tool like ChatGPT or Jasper.ai, you can start with a general topic like “how to write a blog post”. Then, you can ask the AI to generate more prompts based on that, such as:

  • how to write a blog post that attracts readers
  • how to write a blog post that ranks well on Google
  • how to write a blog post that showcases your expertise
  • how to write a blog post that converts leads
  • how to write a blog post that is fun and engaging

Similarly, if you want to generate an image using a generative AI tool like DALL-E or Midjourney, you can start with a simple prompt like “a dragon”. Then, you can ask the AI to generate more prompts based on that, such as:

  • a dragon breathing fire
  • a dragon in a fantasy landscape
  • a dragon with scales of different colors
  • a dragon wearing a crown
  • a dragon and a knight

These prompts can help you write more specific and relevant content, or explore different angles and perspectives.


A Pattern Language is a way of describing good design practices in a way that can be easily understood and applied by others.


Here are a few Generative AI language patterns:

  • Creational: design patterns that deal with object creation mechanisms, trying to create objects in a manner suitable to the situation. In generative AI prompting, creational patterns can be used to specify the desired characteristics of the output, such as the format, style, medium, genre, or content.
    • Builder pattern: This pattern allows constructing complex objects step by step. It can be used to create prompts that have multiple components or details, such as “a dragon with blue scales and red eyes flying over a mountain, oil painting style”.
    • Factory method pattern: This pattern defines an interface for creating an object, but lets subclasses decide which class to instantiate. It can be used to create prompts that have different variations or options, such as “a logo for a company called XYZ, either minimalist or geometric”.
    • Prototype pattern: This pattern creates objects by cloning an existing object. It can be used to create prompts that are based on existing examples or references, such as “a poem like ‘Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night’ by Dylan Thomas, but about love instead of death”.
    • Singleton pattern: This pattern ensures that only one instance of a class exists and provides a global point of access to it. It can be used to create prompts that have a unique or specific identity or purpose, such as “the only photo of Albert Einstein smiling”.
  • Transformational: used to transform data from one form to another; a type of design pattern that deal with object behavior mechanisms, aiming to change the state or structure of objects in a flexible and dynamic way. In generative AI prompting, transformational patterns can be used to modify the output of the model, such as the tone, perspective, format, or content. For example, some transformational patterns that can be used in generative AI prompting are:
    • Adapter pattern: This pattern allows adapting an existing interface to another interface that is expected by the client. It can be used to create prompts that change the format or style of the output, such as “Rewrite this sentence in passive voice: She opened the door.”
    • Decorator pattern: This pattern allows adding new functionality to an existing object without altering its structure. It can be used to create prompts that add more details or information to the output, such as “Add a catchy slogan to this product description: A smartwatch that tracks your fitness and health.”
    • Strategy pattern: This pattern allows defining a family of algorithms, encapsulating each one, and making them interchangeable. It can be used to create prompts that change the behavior or logic of the output, such as “Generate a headline for this article using a different strategy: How to save money on groceries.”
    • Template method pattern: This pattern allows defining the skeleton of an algorithm in a base class, but letting subclasses override some steps without changing the algorithm’s structure. It can be used to create prompts that have a fixed structure but variable content, such as “Write a haiku about winter.”
  • Explainability: used in AI to help explain how a decision was made by an algorithm; that deal with object understanding mechanisms, aiming to provide insights into the reasoning or logic behind the output of an object. In generative AI prompting, explainability patterns can be used to understand the output of the model, such as the source, confidence, relevance, or quality. For example, some explainability patterns that can be used in generative AI prompting are:
    • Proxy pattern: This pattern provides a surrogate or placeholder for another object to control access to it. It can be used to create prompts that ask the model to provide a source or reference for the output, such as “Generate a fact about dolphins and cite the source.”
    • Observer pattern: This pattern defines a one-to-many dependency between objects so that when one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically. It can be used to create prompts that ask the model to provide a confidence score or a probability distribution for the output, such as “Generate a headline for this article and give a confidence score from 0 to 1.”
    • Mediator pattern: This pattern defines an object that encapsulates how a set of objects interact. It can be used to create prompts that ask the model to provide a relevance or similarity score for the output, such as “Generate an image of a cat wearing sunglasses and give a similarity score from 0 to 1 compared to this image of a dog wearing sunglasses.”
    • Chain of responsibility pattern: This pattern avoids coupling the sender of a request to its receiver by giving more than one object a chance to handle the request. It can be used to create prompts that ask the model to provide a quality or evaluation score for the output, such as “Generate a summary of this article and give a quality score from 0 to 1 based on grammar, coherence, and accuracy.”
  • Procedural: used to define the steps that should be taken in order to complete a task; aiming to create objects in a procedural or algorithmic way. In generative AI prompting, procedural patterns can be used to specify the desired process of the output, such as the steps, rules, constraints, or variations. For example, some procedural patterns that can be used in generative AI prompting are:
    • Iterator pattern: This pattern provides a way to access the elements of an aggregate object sequentially without exposing its underlying representation. It can be used to create prompts that generate a sequence or a list of outputs, such as “Generate 5 names for a new brand of coffee.”
    • Command pattern: This pattern encapsulates a request as an object, thereby allowing for the parameterization of clients with different requests, and the queuing or logging of requests. It can be used to create prompts that execute a specific action or function on the output, such as “Generate a logo for a company called XYZ and rotate it 90 degrees clockwise.”
    • State pattern: This pattern allows an object to alter its behavior when its internal state changes. It can be used to create prompts that change the output based on a condition or a trigger, such as “Generate a tweet from Elon Musk and make it positive if Tesla’s stock price is above $1000 or negative otherwise.”
    • Memento pattern: This pattern provides the ability to restore an object to its previous state. It can be used to create prompts that undo or redo the output, such as “Generate a summary of this article and undo the last sentence.”
  • Composite: used to represent hierarchical structures of objects; a type of design pattern that deal with object composition mechanisms, aiming to compose objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. In generative AI prompting, composite patterns can be used to combine multiple outputs into a coherent whole, such as a paragraph, a story, a presentation, or a collage. For example, some composite patterns that can be used in generative AI prompting are:
    • Tree pattern: This pattern represents hierarchical data in a tree structure. It can be used to create prompts that generate a nested or hierarchical output, such as “Generate an outline for an essay about the benefits of meditation.”
    • Graph pattern: This pattern represents data in a graph structure with nodes and edges. It can be used to create prompts that generate a network or a relationship output, such as “Generate a social media graph of the most influential celebrities in 2023.”
    • Grid pattern: This pattern represents data in a grid structure with rows and columns. It can be used to create prompts that generate a tabular or a matrix output, such as “Generate a table of the top 10 countries by GDP per capita in 2023.”
    • Collage pattern: This pattern represents data in a collage structure with overlapping or juxtaposed elements. It can be used to create prompts that generate a visual or an artistic output, such as “Generate an image of a unicorn wearing sunglasses and playing guitar on the moon.”
  • Coherence: used to ensure that data is consistent across different parts of a system; aiming to ensure that the output of an object is logical, relevant, and meaningful. In generative AI prompting, coherence patterns can be used to improve the quality of the output, such as the clarity, accuracy, fluency, or diversity. For example, some coherence patterns that can be used in generative AI prompting are:
    • Facade pattern: This pattern provides a unified interface to a set of interfaces in a subsystem. It can be used to create prompts that simplify the output or make it more user-friendly, such as “Generate a summary of this article in plain language.”
    • Validator pattern: This pattern validates the data or the output against a set of rules or criteria. It can be used to create prompts that check the output for errors or inconsistencies, such as “Generate a headline for this article and make sure it is grammatically correct and factual.”
    • Interpreter pattern: This pattern defines a representation for its grammar along with an interpreter that uses the representation to interpret sentences in the language. It can be used to create prompts that translate or paraphrase the output into another language or style, such as “Generate a slogan for this product and translate it into Spanish.”
    • Composite pattern: This pattern composes objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. It can be used to create prompts that combine multiple outputs into a coherent whole, such as “Generate three bullet points for this presentation and write a conclusion paragraph.”
  • Corrective: used to fix problems that arise in a system; deal with object improvement mechanisms, aiming to fix or enhance the output of an object based on feedback or evaluation. In generative AI prompting, corrective patterns can be used to refine the output of the model, such as the grammar, spelling, style, or content. For example, some corrective patterns that can be used in generative AI prompting are:
    • Proxy pattern: This pattern provides a surrogate or placeholder for another object to control access to it. It can be used to create prompts that ask the model to provide feedback or suggestions for the output, such as “Generate a headline for this article and tell me how to improve it.”
    • Chain of responsibility pattern: This pattern avoids coupling the sender of a request to its receiver by giving more than one object a chance to handle the request. It can be used to create prompts that ask the model to handle different aspects or levels of the output, such as “Generate a summary of this article and correct any grammar or spelling mistakes.”
    • Visitor pattern: This pattern defines a new operation to a class of objects without changing the class. It can be used to create prompts that ask the model to apply a new function or feature to the output, such as “Generate a poem about love and make it rhyme.”
    • Bridge pattern: This pattern decouples an abstraction from its implementation so that the two can vary independently. It can be used to create prompts that ask the model to change the output according to a different criterion or standard, such as “Generate a slogan for this product and make it more catchy.”
  • Recombinational: used to combine different parts of a system in new ways; aiming to create new objects by combining or mixing existing objects. In generative AI prompting, recombinational patterns can be used to generate novel outputs that are based on existing outputs, such as remixes, mashups, hybrids, or variations. For example, some recombinational patterns that can be used in generative AI prompting are:
    • Mixer pattern: This pattern combines two or more outputs into one output by blending or mixing their features. It can be used to create prompts that generate a hybrid or a fusion output, such as “Generate an image of a dog with the fur of a tiger.”
    • Selector pattern: This pattern selects one or more outputs from a set of outputs based on some criteria or preference. It can be used to create prompts that generate a filtered or a curated output, such as “Generate a playlist of songs that I would like based on my listening history.”
    • Mutator pattern: This pattern modifies one or more outputs by applying some changes or transformations to their features. It can be used to create prompts that generate a modified or a customized output, such as “Generate a logo for a company called XYZ and change the color to blue.”
    • Combinator pattern: This pattern creates new outputs by combining parts or elements of existing outputs. It can be used to create prompts that generate a composite or a collage output, such as “Generate an image of a unicorn wearing sunglasses and playing guitar on the moon.”
  • Variational: used to represent variation mechanisms, aiming to create new objects by varying or sampling from existing objects. In generative AI prompting, variational patterns can be used to generate diverse outputs that are based on existing outputs, such as alternatives, options, variations, or samples. For example, some variational patterns that can be used in generative AI prompting are:
    • Sampler pattern: This pattern samples one or more outputs from a distribution of outputs based on some criteria or preference. It can be used to create prompts that generate a random or a representative output, such as “Generate a sentence that contains the word ‘banana’.”
    • Generator pattern: This pattern generates one or more outputs from scratch based on some rules or constraints. It can be used to create prompts that generate a novel or a creative output, such as “Generate a name for a new planet.”
    • Variator pattern: This pattern varies one or more outputs by adding some noise or randomness to their features. It can be used to create prompts that generate a different or a perturbed output, such as “Generate an image of a cat with a different fur color.”
    • Optimizer pattern: This pattern optimizes one or more outputs by maximizing or minimizing some objective function or metric. It can be used to create prompts that generate a better or a improved output, such as “Generate a headline for this article and make it more catchy.”
  • Modularity: used to break down a system into smaller, more manageable parts; decomposition mechanisms, aiming to break down complex objects into simpler or smaller objects. In generative AI prompting, modularity patterns can be used to simplify the output or make it more manageable, such as chunks, segments, components, or modules. For example, some modularity patterns that can be used in generative AI prompting are:
    • Chunker pattern: This pattern divides an output into smaller or more meaningful units based on some criteria or delimiter. It can be used to create prompts that generate a segmented or a structured output, such as “Generate a paragraph about the benefits of meditation and split it into sentences.”
    • Extractor pattern: This pattern extracts one or more parts or elements from an output based on some criteria or query. It can be used to create prompts that generate a specific or a relevant output, such as “Generate a summary of this article and extract the main point.”
    • Assembler pattern: This pattern assembles one or more outputs from smaller or simpler parts or elements based on some rules or constraints. It can be used to create prompts that generate a complex or a composite output, such as “Generate a story from these three words: dragon, princess, castle.”
    • Modularizer pattern: This pattern modularizes an output by separating it into independent or reusable parts or elements based on some criteria or function. It can be used to create prompts that generate a modular or a flexible output, such as “Generate a resume for a software engineer and separate it into sections.”
