Prompt & Context Engineering
Prompt Engineering
Steering a next-token predictor on purpose.
You can jump straight in, but this star assumes The Transformer. Not recommended as a first stop.
Four layers of depth
Each layer ends with a quiz. Finish layer 4 and you own this concept.
- L1IntuitionWhat prompt engineering actually is, why wording changes output quality, and the buzzwords decoded.5m
40 XP - L2MechanicsThe logical mechanics: how instructions, examples, and ordering actually steer the next-token distribution.8m
70 XP - L3CodeImplement structured, testable prompt templates and a basic prompt-evaluation harness.12m
110 XP - L4FoundationsThe formal layer: decoding-time constraints on the output distribution, and the statistics of evaluating prompt changes.15m
