Prompt Optimization Techniques

提示词优化技巧

Few-shot vs Zero-shot Selection

Zero-shot: When task is straightforward or examples unavailable
Few-shot: For complex tasks, domain-specific outputs, or format adherence
Choose based on task complexity and consistency needs

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) Reasoning

Enable step-by-step reasoning with "Let's think step by step"
Use for mathematical, logical, or multi-step problems
Combine with few-shot examples for best results

Role-playing and Perspective

Set clear expertise level: "You are an expert [role]"
Provide context: experience level, specialization, perspective
Use for consistent tone and domain knowledge

Output Format Specification

Be explicit about structure: JSON, markdown, tables, etc.
Provide templates or examples of desired format
Use XML tags or clear delimiters for complex structures

Constraint and Boundary Setting

Define what NOT to do (guardrails)
Set length limits, tone requirements, scope boundaries
Specify handling of edge cases and uncertainties

少样本与零样本选择

零样本：适用于任务简单或无示例可用的场景
少样本：适用于复杂任务、特定领域输出或需要严格遵循格式的场景
根据任务复杂度与一致性需求进行选择

思维链（CoT）推理

通过“让我们一步步思考”启用分步推理
适用于数学、逻辑或多步骤问题
结合少样本示例使用效果最佳

角色扮演与视角设定

明确专业水平：“你是一位专家[角色]”
提供背景信息：经验水平、专业方向、视角
适用于需要保持一致语气与领域知识的场景

输出格式规范

明确输出结构：JSON、Markdown、表格等
提供目标格式的模板或示例
对于复杂结构，使用XML标签或清晰的分隔符

约束与边界设定

定义禁止行为（防护规则）
设置长度限制、语气要求、范围边界
指定边缘情况与不确定性的处理方式

如果输出过于冗长：

设置明确的长度限制
要求简洁格式
优先展示关键信息
使用要点而非段落

如果输出准确性不足：

添加自我验证步骤
要求提供引用或推理过程
包含领域约束
使用思维链技巧

Before Completing Any Task

完成任何任务前

Verify you have:

☐ Displayed the full prompt text (not just described it)
☐ Marked it clearly with headers or code blocks
☐ Provided usage instructions and examples
☐ Explained your design choices
☐ Specified recommended model and settings
☐ Documented strengths and limitations
☐ Included example inputs and outputs

请确认你已完成：

☐ 展示了完整的提示词文本（而非仅描述）
☐ 使用标题或代码块清晰标记
☐ 提供了使用说明与示例
☐ 解释了设计思路
☐ 指定了推荐模型与设置
☐ 记录了优势与限制
☐ 包含了示例输入与输出

Remember

请牢记

The best prompt is one that:

Consistently produces desired outputs
Handles edge cases gracefully
Requires minimal post-processing
Is maintainable and documentable
Fails safely when it fails

Always show, never just describe. The user needs to see and use the actual prompt, not just hear about it.

优秀的提示词需满足：

持续产生符合预期的输出
能优雅处理边缘情况
需最少的后期处理
易于维护与文档化
即使失败也能安全可控

始终展示，绝不只描述。 用户需要看到并使用实际的提示词，而不是只听描述。
