# prompt design

The practice of writing clear instructions and context for an AI system.

Good prompts define the task, input boundaries, desired format, source rules, and a check for uncertainty. Store approved prompts with the workflow and review them when the tool changes. Prompts are part of a system, so pair them with human review and data controls.
