Prompt Architecture
The deliberate structure of a prompt — role, task, constraints, examples, output format, and context — designed for reliable results at scale.
Definition
The deliberate structure of a prompt — role, task, constraints, examples, output format, and context — designed for reliable results at scale. Prompt architecture treats a prompt as a piece of software: versioned, tested, and tuned.
Example
A weak prompt: 'summarize this email.' A structured one: 'You are a support triage assistant. Read the email below. Output a JSON object with fields: category, urgency (1-5), suggested_action, customer_name.' Same task, dramatically more reliable output.
