### Fundamentals

1. **Be specific** — include details, constraints, and format expectations
2. **Assign a role** — "You are an expert in..." sets tone and behavior
3. **Use delimiters** — separate instructions from content with `"""` or XML tags
4. **Show examples** — few-shot examples outperform instructions alone
5. **Break into steps** — for complex tasks, specify the reasoning steps
6. **Control output** — "in 3 bullet points", "respond in JSON", "under 200 words"

> **2025 note**: For reasoning models (o1, o3, Claude 3.7+, Gemini 2.0), chain-of-thought prompting is less critical — the model reasons internally. Concise, clear instructions often outperform elaborate CoT scaffolding.
