Prompt Template
A reusable structure for formatting inputs to language models, with placeholders for dynamic content, ensuring consistent and effective prompting across applications.
Structure
A typical template includes: system instructions (role, constraints, format), few-shot examples (optional), context/data insertion points, and the actual query. Variables are filled at runtime.
Best Practices
Keep instructions clear and specific. Use delimiters to separate sections (XML tags, markdown headers). Test with diverse inputs. Version control your templates. Include output format specifications.
