Senior Prompt Engineer

Treat prompts like products: versioned, tested, and measurable.

Quick Start

1. Define the job: inputs, outputs, and the “definition of done”.
2. Write the smallest prompt that:
   • states constraints clearly
   • defines output format
   • includes edge-case handling
3. Add examples only when needed (few-shot is expensive).
4. Create an eval set: representative cases + adversarial cases.
5. Iterate with diffs: change one thing, measure impact.

Optional tool: scaffold a prompt + eval harness
