Prompt Engineering Fundamentals

A two-part foundation in prompting a company AI Assistant well. Part 01 (Fundamentals) explains how prompt specificity shapes answer quality, frames the assistant as a brilliant but literal intern grounded in internal knowledge through a RAG architecture, covers what it can and cannot access, stresses a trust-but-verify mindset, and introduces the C-O-I-E framework (Context, Outcome, Instruction, Example). Part 02 (Techniques) builds a toolkit of prompting techniques and teaches how to choose among them: matching tasks to approaches, content generation (zero-shot and few-shot), reasoning (chain-of-thought, self-ask, meta-prompting), workflow (prompt chaining and when to chain versus use a single prompt), and clearly structuring prompts.
