I could quickly go from a blog idea to a rough outline in just a few minutes. While understanding the core principles of prompt engineering is still important, not using LLMs in the process of writing prompts just doesn’t make any sense. In the same way that an LLM can help a writer overcome the blank page problem, it can also help prompt engineers establish a solid prompt structure.

Rather than crafting every detail of your prompt, you can use other prompts, systems, and LLMs to help expedite the process. In this article, we’ll dive into how meta prompting works, breaking down some of the latest and most popular methods from recent research papers. We’ll cover plenty of examples so you can start using these techniques in your workflows and apps righ ... Read full article.
