Prompt Engineering

提示词工程

Design and optimize prompts for large language models (LLMs) to achieve reliable, high-quality outputs across diverse tasks.

为大语言模型（LLM）设计并优化提示词，以在各类任务中获得可靠、高质量的输出。

Purpose

用途

This skill provides systematic techniques for crafting prompts that consistently elicit desired behaviors from LLMs. Rather than trial-and-error prompt iteration, apply proven patterns (zero-shot, few-shot, chain-of-thought, structured outputs) to improve accuracy, reduce costs, and build production-ready LLM applications. Covers multi-model deployment (OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, open-source models) with Python and TypeScript examples.

本技能提供系统化的提示词设计技巧，能持续引导LLM产生预期行为。无需反复试错，只需应用经过验证的模式（零样本、少样本、思维链、结构化输出）即可提升准确性、降低成本，并构建可投入生产的LLM应用。涵盖多模型部署（OpenAI GPT、Anthropic Claude、Google Gemini、开源模型），并提供Python和TypeScript示例。

Quick Start

快速入门

Zero-Shot Prompt (Python + OpenAI):

python

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Summarize this article in 3 sentences: [text]"}
    ],
    temperature=0  # Deterministic output
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Structured Output (TypeScript + Vercel AI SDK):

typescript

import { generateObject } from 'ai';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { z } from 'zod';

const schema = z.object({
  name: z.string(),
  sentiment: z.enum(['positive', 'negative', 'neutral']),
});

const { object } = await generateObject({
  model: openai('gpt-4'),
  schema,
  prompt: 'Extract sentiment from: "This product is amazing!"',
});

零样本提示词（Python + OpenAI）：

python

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Summarize this article in 3 sentences: [text]"}
    ],
    temperature=0  # Deterministic output
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

结构化输出（TypeScript + Vercel AI SDK）：

typescript

import { generateObject } from 'ai';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { z } from 'zod';

const schema = z.object({
  name: z.string(),
  sentiment: z.enum(['positive', 'negative', 'neutral']),
});

const { object } = await generateObject({
  model: openai('gpt-4'),
  schema,
  prompt: 'Extract sentiment from: "This product is amazing!"',
});

Core Prompting Patterns

核心提示词模式

1. Zero-Shot Prompting

1. 零样本提示词

Pattern: Clear instruction + optional context + input + output format specification

When to use: Simple, well-defined tasks with clear expected outputs (summarization, translation, basic classification).

Best practices:

Be specific about constraints and requirements
Use imperative voice ("Summarize...", not "Can you summarize...")
Specify output format upfront
Set
```
temperature=0
```
for deterministic outputs

Example:

python

prompt = """
Summarize the following customer review in 2 sentences, focusing on key concerns:

Review: [customer feedback text]

Summary:
"""

See

references/zero-shot-patterns.md

for comprehensive examples and anti-patterns.

模式： 清晰指令 + 可选上下文 + 输入 + 输出格式规范

适用场景： 简单、定义明确且输出预期清晰的任务（摘要、翻译、基础分类）。

最佳实践：

明确约束和要求
使用祈使语气（如“总结……”，而非“你能总结……吗？”）
提前指定输出格式
设置
```
temperature=0
```
以获得确定性输出

示例：

python

prompt = """
Summarize the following customer review in 2 sentences, focusing on key concerns:

Review: [customer feedback text]

Summary:
"""

详见

references/zero-shot-patterns.md

获取完整示例及反模式。

2. Chain-of-Thought (CoT)

2. 思维链（CoT）

Pattern: Task + "Let's think step by step" + reasoning steps → answer

When to use: Complex reasoning tasks (math problems, multi-hop logic, analysis requiring intermediate steps).

Research foundation: Wei et al. (2022) demonstrated 20-50% accuracy improvements on reasoning benchmarks.

Zero-shot CoT:

python

prompt = """
Solve this problem step by step:

A train leaves Station A at 2 PM going 60 mph.
Another leaves Station B at 3 PM going 80 mph.
Stations are 300 miles apart. When do they meet?

Let's think through this step by step:
"""

Few-shot CoT: Provide 2-3 examples showing reasoning steps before the actual task.

See

references/chain-of-thought.md

for advanced patterns (Tree-of-Thoughts, self-consistency).

模式： 任务 + “让我们一步步思考” + 推理步骤 → 答案

适用场景： 复杂推理任务（数学题、逻辑推理、多跳问答）。

研究基础： Wei等人（2022）的研究表明，该技术可使推理基准测试的准确率提升20-50%。

零样本思维链：

python

prompt = """
Solve this problem step by step:

A train leaves Station A at 2 PM going 60 mph.
Another leaves Station B at 3 PM going 80 mph.
Stations are 300 miles apart. When do they meet?

Let's think through this step by step:
"""

少样本思维链： 在实际任务前提供2-3个展示推理步骤的示例。

详见

references/chain-of-thought.md

获取进阶模式（思维树、自一致性）。

3. Few-Shot Learning

3. 少样本学习

Pattern: Task description + 2-5 examples (input → output) + actual task

When to use: Need specific formatting, style, or classification patterns not easily described.

Sweet spot: 2-5 examples (quality > quantity)

Example structure:

python

prompt = """
Classify sentiment of movie reviews.

Examples:
Review: "Absolutely fantastic! Loved every minute."
Sentiment: positive

Review: "Waste of time. Terrible acting."
Sentiment: negative

Review: "It was okay, nothing special."
Sentiment: neutral

Review: "{new_review}"
Sentiment:
"""

Best practices:

Use diverse, representative examples
Maintain consistent formatting
Randomize example order to avoid position bias
Label edge cases explicitly

See

references/few-shot-learning.md

for selection strategies and common pitfalls.

模式： 任务描述 + 2-5个示例（输入→输出） + 实际任务

适用场景： 需要特定格式、风格或分类模式，且难以用语言描述的任务。

黄金标准： 2-5个示例（质量>数量）

示例结构：

python

prompt = """
Classify sentiment of movie reviews.

Examples:
Review: "Absolutely fantastic! Loved every minute."
Sentiment: positive

Review: "Waste of time. Terrible acting."
Sentiment: negative

Review: "It was okay, nothing special."
Sentiment: neutral

Review: "{new_review}"
Sentiment:
"""

最佳实践：

使用多样化、有代表性的示例
保持格式一致
随机化示例顺序以避免位置偏差
明确标注边缘情况

详见

references/few-shot-learning.md

获取示例选择策略及常见陷阱。

4. Structured Output Generation

4. 结构化输出生成

Modern approach (2025): Use native JSON modes and tool calling instead of text parsing.

OpenAI JSON Mode:

python

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "Extract user data as JSON."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "From bio: 'Sarah, 28, sarah@example.com'"}
    ],
    response_format={"type": "json_object"}
)

Anthropic Tool Use (for structured outputs):

python

import anthropic
client = anthropic.Anthropic()

tools = [{
    "name": "record_data",
    "description": "Record structured user information",
    "input_schema": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "name": {"type": "string"},
            "age": {"type": "integer"}
        },
        "required": ["name", "age"]
    }
}]

message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
    max_tokens=1024,
    tools=tools,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Extract: 'Sarah, 28'"}]
)

TypeScript with Zod validation:

typescript

import { generateObject } from 'ai';
import { z } from 'zod';

const schema = z.object({
  name: z.string(),
  age: z.number(),
});

const { object } = await generateObject({
  model: openai('gpt-4'),
  schema,
  prompt: 'Extract: "Sarah, 28"',
});

See

references/structured-outputs.md

for validation patterns and error handling.

现代方法（2025年）： 使用原生JSON模式和工具调用替代文本解析。

OpenAI JSON模式：

python

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "Extract user data as JSON."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "From bio: 'Sarah, 28, sarah@example.com'"}
    ],
    response_format={"type": "json_object"}
)

Anthropic工具调用（用于结构化输出）：

python

import anthropic
client = anthropic.Anthropic()

tools = [{
    "name": "record_data",
    "description": "Record structured user information",
    "input_schema": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "name": {"type": "string"},
            "age": {"type": "integer"}
        },
        "required": ["name", "age"]
    }
}]

message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
    max_tokens=1024,
    tools=tools,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Extract: 'Sarah, 28'"}]
)

TypeScript结合Zod验证：

typescript

import { generateObject } from 'ai';
import { z } from 'zod';

const schema = z.object({
  name: z.string(),
  age: z.number(),
});

const { object } = await generateObject({
  model: openai('gpt-4'),
  schema,
  prompt: 'Extract: "Sarah, 28"',
});

references/structured-outputs.md

获取验证模式及错误处理方法。

5. System Prompts and Personas

5. 系统提示词与角色设定

Pattern: Define consistent behavior, role, constraints, and output format.

Structure:

1. Role/Persona
2. Capabilities and knowledge domain
3. Behavior guidelines
4. Output format constraints
5. Safety/ethical boundaries

Example:

python

system_prompt = """
You are a senior software engineer conducting code reviews.

Expertise:
- Python best practices (PEP 8, type hints)
- Security vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS)
- Performance optimization

Review style:
- Constructive and educational
- Prioritize: Critical > Major > Minor

Output format:

模式： 定义一致的行为、角色、约束和输出格式。

结构：

1. 角色/人设
2. 能力与知识领域
3. 行为准则
4. 输出格式约束
5. 安全/伦理边界

示例：

python

system_prompt = """
You are a senior software engineer conducting code reviews.

Expertise:
- Python best practices (PEP 8, type hints)
- Security vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS)
- Performance optimization

Review style:
- Constructive and educational
- Prioritize: Critical > Major > Minor

Output format:

Critical Issues

[specific issue with fix]

[specific issue with fix]

Suggestions

[improvement ideas] """


**Anthropic Claude with XML tags:**
```python
system_prompt = """
<capabilities>
- Answer product questions
- Troubleshoot common issues
</capabilities>

<guidelines>
- Use simple, non-technical language
- Escalate refund requests to humans
</guidelines>
"""

Best practices:

Test system prompts extensively (global state affects all responses)
Version control system prompts like code
Keep under 1000 tokens for cost efficiency
A/B test different personas

[improvement ideas] """


**Anthropic Claude结合XML标签：**
```python
system_prompt = """
<capabilities>
- Answer product questions
- Troubleshoot common issues
</capabilities>

<guidelines>
- Use simple, non-technical language
- Escalate refund requests to humans
</guidelines>
"""

最佳实践：

全面测试系统提示词（全局状态会影响所有响应）
像管理代码一样对系统提示词进行版本控制
控制在1000Token以内以提升成本效率
对不同人设进行A/B测试

6. Tool Use and Function Calling

6. 工具调用与函数调用

Pattern: Define available functions → Model decides when to call → Execute → Return results → Model synthesizes response

When to use: LLM needs to interact with external systems, APIs, databases, or perform calculations.

OpenAI function calling:

python

tools = [{
    "type": "function",
    "function": {
        "name": "get_weather",
        "description": "Get current weather for a location",
        "parameters": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "location": {"type": "string", "description": "City name"}
            },
            "required": ["location"]
        }
    }
}]

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in Tokyo?"}],
    tools=tools,
    tool_choice="auto"
)

Critical: Tool descriptions matter:

python

undefined

模式： 定义可用函数 → 模型决定何时调用 → 执行 → 返回结果 → 模型合成响应

适用场景： LLM需要与外部系统、API、数据库交互，或执行计算任务时。

OpenAI函数调用：

python

tools = [{
    "type": "function",
    "function": {
        "name": "get_weather",
        "description": "Get current weather for a location",
        "parameters": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "location": {"type": "string", "description": "City name"}
            },
            "required": ["location"]
        }
    }
}]

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in Tokyo?"}],
    tools=tools,
    tool_choice="auto"
)

关键：工具描述至关重要：

python

undefined

BAD: Vague

糟糕：模糊

"description": "Search for stuff"

GOOD: Specific purpose and usage

优秀：明确用途和用法

"description": "Search knowledge base for product docs. Use when user asks about features or troubleshooting. Returns top 5 articles."


See `references/tool-use-guide.md` for multi-tool workflows and ReAct patterns.

"description": "Search knowledge base for product docs. Use when user asks about features or troubleshooting. Returns top 5 articles."


详见`references/tool-use-guide.md`获取多工具工作流及ReAct模式。

7. Prompt Chaining and Composition

7. 提示词链式调用与组合

Pattern: Break complex tasks into sequential prompts where output of step N → input of step N+1.

LangChain LCEL example:

python

from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

summarize_prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
    "Summarize: {article}"
)
title_prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
    "Create title for: {summary}"
)

llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4")
chain = summarize_prompt | llm | title_prompt | llm

result = chain.invoke({"article": "..."})

Benefits:

Better debugging (inspect intermediate outputs)
Prompt caching (reduce costs for repeated prefixes)
Modular testing and optimization

Anthropic Prompt Caching:

python

undefined

模式： 将复杂任务拆分为连续的提示词，第N步的输出作为第N+1步的输入。

LangChain LCEL示例：

python

from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

summarize_prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
    "Summarize: {article}"
)
title_prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
    "Create title for: {summary}"
)

llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4")
chain = summarize_prompt | llm | title_prompt | llm

result = chain.invoke({"article": "..."})

优势：

调试更便捷（可查看中间输出）
提示词缓存（减少重复前缀的成本）
模块化测试与优化

Anthropic提示词缓存：

python

undefined

Cache large context (90% cost reduction on subsequent calls)

缓存大上下文（后续调用成本降低90%）

message = client.messages.create( model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022", system=[ {"type": "text", "text": "You are a coding assistant."}, { "type": "text", "text": f"Codebase:\n\n{large_codebase}", "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"} # Cache this } ], messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain auth module"}] )


See `references/prompt-chaining.md` for LangChain, LlamaIndex, and DSPy patterns.

message = client.messages.create( model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022", system=[ {"type": "text", "text": "You are a coding assistant."}, { "type": "text", "text": f"Codebase:\n\n{large_codebase}", "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"} # 缓存此内容 } ], messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain auth module"}] )

Production Best Practices

生产环境最佳实践

1. Prompt Versioning

1. 提示词版本控制

Track prompts like code:

python

PROMPTS = {
    "v1.0": {
        "system": "You are a helpful assistant.",
        "version": "2025-01-15",
        "notes": "Initial version"
    },
    "v1.1": {
        "system": "You are a helpful assistant. Always cite sources.",
        "version": "2025-02-01",
        "notes": "Reduced hallucination"
    }
}

像管理代码一样跟踪提示词：

python

PROMPTS = {
    "v1.0": {
        "system": "You are a helpful assistant.",
        "version": "2025-01-15",
        "notes": "Initial version"
    },
    "v1.1": {
        "system": "You are a helpful assistant. Always cite sources.",

Log usage and calculate costs:

python

def tracked_completion(prompt, model):
    response = client.messages.create(model=model, ...)

    usage = response.usage
    cost = calculate_cost(usage.input_tokens, usage.output_tokens, model)

    log_metrics({
        "input_tokens": usage.input_tokens,
        "output_tokens": usage.output_tokens,
        "cost_usd": cost,
        "timestamp": datetime.now()
    })
    return response

记录使用情况并计算成本：

python

def tracked_completion(prompt, model):
    response = client.messages.create(model=model, ...)

    usage = response.usage
    cost = calculate_cost(usage.input_tokens, usage.output_tokens, model)

    log_metrics({
        "input_tokens": usage.input_tokens,
        "output_tokens": usage.output_tokens,
        "cost_usd": cost,
        "timestamp": datetime.now()
    })
    return response

3. Error Handling and Retries

3. 错误处理与重试

python

from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt, wait_exponential

@retry(
    stop=stop_after_attempt(3),
    wait=wait_exponential(multiplier=1, min=2, max=10)
)
def robust_completion(prompt):
    try:
        return client.messages.create(...)
    except anthropic.RateLimitError:
        raise  # Retry
    except anthropic.APIError as e:
        return fallback_completion(prompt)

python

from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt, wait_exponential

@retry(
    stop=stop_after_attempt(3),
    wait=wait_exponential(multiplier=1, min=2, max=10)
)
def robust_completion(prompt):
    try:
        return client.messages.create(...)
    except anthropic.RateLimitError:
        raise  # 重试
    except anthropic.APIError as e:
        return fallback_completion(prompt)

4. Input Sanitization

4. 输入 sanitization

Prevent prompt injection:

python

def sanitize_user_input(text: str) -> str:
    dangerous = [
        "ignore previous instructions",
        "ignore all instructions",
        "you are now",
    ]

    cleaned = text.lower()
    for pattern in dangerous:
        if pattern in cleaned:
            raise ValueError("Potential injection detected")
    return text

防止提示词注入：

python

def sanitize_user_input(text: str) -> str:
    dangerous = [
        "ignore previous instructions",
        "ignore all instructions",
        "you are now",
    ]

    cleaned = text.lower()
    for pattern in dangerous:
        if pattern in cleaned:
            raise ValueError("Potential injection detected")
    return text

5. Testing and Validation

5. 测试与验证

python

test_cases = [
    {
        "input": "What is 2+2?",
        "expected_contains": "4",
        "should_not_contain": ["5", "incorrect"]
    }
]

def test_prompt_quality(case):
    output = generate_response(case["input"])
    assert case["expected_contains"] in output
    for phrase in case["should_not_contain"]:
        assert phrase not in output.lower()

See

scripts/prompt-validator.py

for automated validation and

scripts/ab-test-runner.py

for comparing prompt variants.

python

test_cases = [
    {
        "input": "What is 2+2?",
        "expected_contains": "4",
        "should_not_contain": ["5", "incorrect"]
    }
]

def test_prompt_quality(case):
    output = generate_response(case["input"])
    assert case["expected_contains"] in output
    for phrase in case["should_not_contain"]:
        assert phrase not in output.lower()

Multi-Model Portability

多模型可移植性

Different models require different prompt styles:

OpenAI GPT-4:

Strong at complex instructions
Use system messages for global behavior
Prefers concise prompts

Anthropic Claude:

Excels with XML-structured prompts
Use
```
<thinking>
```
tags for chain-of-thought
Prefers detailed instructions

Google Gemini:

Multimodal by default (text + images)
Strong at code generation
More aggressive safety filters

Meta Llama (Open Source):

Requires more explicit instructions
Few-shot examples critical
Self-hosted, full control

See

references/multi-model-portability.md

for portable prompt patterns and provider-specific optimizations.

不同模型需要不同的提示词风格：

OpenAI GPT-4：

擅长复杂指令
使用系统消息定义全局行为
偏好简洁提示词

Anthropic Claude：

擅长XML结构化提示词
使用
```
<thinking>
```
标签实现思维链
偏好详细指令

Google Gemini：

默认支持多模态（文本+图像）
擅长代码生成
安全过滤更严格

Meta Llama（开源）：

需要更明确的指令
少样本示例至关重要
可自托管，完全可控
