Lesson 1
Prompt design as specification
A production prompt is closer to executable policy than casual prose. Make inputs, constraints and output expectations explicit.
Treat prompts like production assets: version them, test them, compare them and defend them against regressions.

Guided lessons
Lesson 1
A production prompt is closer to executable policy than casual prose. Make inputs, constraints and output expectations explicit.
Lesson 2
Create representative examples with expected behaviour so prompt changes can be evaluated consistently.
Lesson 3
Compare new prompt versions against known cases, edge cases and adversarial inputs before release.
Lesson 4
Combine exact checks, semantic criteria, rubric evaluation and human review depending on the workflow.
Lesson 5
Treat retrieved and user-supplied content as untrusted input when instructions and tool access are involved.
Hands-on practice
Do not just tick these mentally. Write the query, create the test matrix, refactor the code, or document the decision. Practical evidence is the point.
