Prompting Patterns

# Prompting Patterns

Effective prompting is essential for AI-assisted engineering.

This playbook uses structured prompts.

---

# Prompt Structure

A good prompt typically contains:

1. Context
2. Objective
3. Constraints
4. Expected output format
5. Validation criteria

---

# Example Prompt

Context:
We are implementing a REST API using Fastify.

Objective:
Create an endpoint to retrieve a list of users.

Constraints:
Follow repository structure and validation rules.

Output:
Provide a TypeScript implementation.

# Why This Works

Structured prompts provide clarity and reduce hallucinations.

The AI understands both the environment and the expected output.
