Prompting Strategies and Tips › Building Your Prompting IntuitionOne section · Sections in this chapter7 / 10 ↓

As you practice these strategies, you'll develop intuition about what works. You'll start to recognize patterns: "This task needs examples" or "A role would help here." This intuition comes from experimentation.

Keep a collection of prompts that work well. When you find a good pattern for summarization, save it. When you discover a role that produces great results, note it down. Over time, you'll build a toolkit of proven approaches.

Remember that prompting is both an art and a science. The science is understanding the strategies and when to apply them. The art is crafting prompts that feel natural and produce results that match your vision. Both aspects improve with practice.
