Today, we are discussing prompt templates, which are crucial for your capstone project. Can anyone define what a prompt template includes?
Is it just the questions we want to ask the AI?
Good point! A prompt template indeed aids in framing questions for AI. However, it must also detail the intent, instructions, expected responses, and use cases. Let's remember the acronym **T.I.U.E.**—Intent, Instructions, Use case, and Expected format. Can anyone elaborate on one of these components?
The intent is what you want to achieve with the prompt, right?
Exactly! If the intent is clear, the output will align better with what you need. For example, if I want a summary of a text, my intent should focus on comprehension rather than just recalling facts.
Are there types for these templates?
Yes! There can be role-based templates, context modules, or structure formats. This variety allows for flexibility in different scenarios. Remember, the more structured your template, the easier it will be to reuse!
So, is the template the same for all contexts?
Not quite! That leads us into our next discussion about domain adaptability, which ties closely into how we use and modify these templates. Summarizing, your templates should show clarity in intent and format as well as be adaptable!
Documenting Usage

Next, let's discuss how to document the usage of our prompt templates. Why do you think documentation is necessary?
So others can understand how to use them?
Exactly! Documentation serves as a guide for users to implement the template correctly. What elements do you think we should include in the documentation?
We should probably explain the tone and style too.
Absolutely! Tone and style help ensure that the output meets the expected audience's needs. An easy way to remember is to **P.A.S.T.E.**—Purpose, Audience, Style, Tone, and Explanation. What other guidelines might we consider?
Ethical guidelines would be important to mention!
Correct! You must include ethical guidelines to prevent misuse and to safeguard against potentially harmful outputs. To summarize, use documentation to clarify how to use the template effectively while being mindful of ethical considerations.
Evaluation Checklist

Now let’s talk about the evaluation checklist. What’s the purpose of having an evaluation checklist for your prompts?
To test if the prompts work as we expect?
Precisely! An evaluation checklist can help confirm that your prompts not only meet the expected format but are also appropriate for the audience and produce consistent results. Can anyone share what components you would include in your evaluation checklist?
I think we need to check if the output fits the expectations, maybe even if it's clear?
Great! Clarity and whether the outputs are free from hallucinations or misleading data are crucial. How might we demonstrate the iterative process?
We could show improved versions after testing!
Exactly! Iteration is essential for improvement. Remember, developing your prompts iteratively enhances usability and ensures they effectively solve problems. In summary, an evaluation checklist is vital for ensuring reliability and adaptability of your templates!
Domain Adaptability

Lastly, let’s dive into domain adaptability. Why is it important to show how prompts can adapt to different contexts?
It’s essential for making sure our prompts are versatile.
Absolutely! Versatility in prompts can ensure they are useful in various situations. Can someone explain how they would adapt a prompt across two different domains?
I imagine if you have a prompt for writing a report, you could modify it for an email by changing the context and format.
Spot on! Changing context, tone, and purpose allows the same foundational structure to serve different ends. As a recap, the adaptability of prompts is crucial for maximizing their practicality across multiple applications.

✅ Prompt Templates
● At least 5 reusable prompt templates with variables
● Each should include intent, instructions, expected format, and use case
Detailed Explanation
This chunk emphasizes the necessity of creating at least five prompt templates that are designed for reuse. Each template must provide clarity on its intent (what it aims to accomplish), detailed instructions (guidelines on how to use it), an expected format (the structure of the output), and a use case (specific scenarios in which the template is applicable). This structured approach ensures that anyone using these templates can easily understand and implement them effectively.
Examples & Analogies
Think of it like building a set of standard operating procedures (SOPs) in a business. Just as every SOP outlines the purpose, steps, outcomes, and scenarios where it should be applied, each prompt template serves a similar function in the toolkit.
