The four-part prompt
Definition and example
The four-part prompt is the focus of this lesson. Role, task, context, output format. Say who, what, with what facts, in what shape. The task asks you to apply that idea in a small example: Which is NOT part of a good prompt. Before you run the code, predict what should happen. Then Inspect the result produced by the exercise and compare it with your prediction. If the result differs, change one relevant line and run it again. Testing one change at a time makes the cause of a result easier to understand.
