Four Level framework for prompt engineering

Watch the breakdown here in a Q4 2024 prompt engineering update video

LLM library

Ollama

Level 1: Ad hoc prompt

Quick, natural language prompts for rapid prototyping
Perfect for exploring model capabilities and behaviors
Can be run across multiple models for comparison
Great for one-off tasks and experimentation

Level 2: Structured prompt

Reusable prompts with clear purpose and instructions
Uses XML/structured format for better model performance
Contains static variables that can be modified
Solves well-defined, repeatable problems

Level 3: Structured prompt with example output

Builds on Level 2 by adding example outputs
Examples guide the model to produce specific formats
Increases consistency and reliability of outputs
Perfect for when output format matters

Level 4: Structured prompt with dynamic content

Production-ready prompts with dynamic variables
Can be integrated into code and applications
Infinitely scalable through programmatic updates
Foundation for building AI-powered tools and agents
