Crafting precise prompts for OpenAI API
Applying best practices for building a precise prompt with OpenAI API enables us to automate and scale the prompting process while ensuring quality outputs from the underlying LLMs.
We will revisit the five S’s best practices, beginning with structuring OpenAI API prompts. We will craft system prompts that incorporate the surrounding context and focus on a single task, enabling the development of reproducible and adaptable templates. Additionally, we will explore how incorporating specific and short instructions helps transform diverse inputs into concise user prompts.
Structured prompts
To structure prompts for OpenAI API, we use system prompts and user prompts to separate the surrounding context and single task objective from specific details such as steps, source code, and data. System prompts define the context and task, allowing for reuse across varying details such as different source codes. In later chapters of the...
