Practical guides to prompt engineering, AI workflows, and generative engine optimization. I test these methods in real projects and check them against the original research, including where they fail.
Chain of verification prompting (CoVe) is a four-step technique that makes a large language model fact-check its own draft: it writes an answer, plans verification questions about each factual claim, answers those questions independently, and then rewrites the answer using only what held up. The method comes from a 2023 Meta AI research paper, where … Read more
A prompt engineering taxonomy sorts prompting techniques by the job they do: setting context, shaping reasoning, constraining the output, and improving the prompt itself. I use the label Deliberate Prompting for working this way: every line in a prompt has a purpose, and you can say which layer it belongs to. Researchers have catalogued 58 … Read more
