Unit 9: How to Talk to AI (Prompt Engineering Lite)
Great prompts follow some simple, repeatable patterns.

Be specific
What exactly do you want?
Give context
Who are you? What’s the purpose?
State the format

Set the tone

Break things down
For complex tasks, go step-by-step.

“You are a hiring manager. Write a friendly, professional email inviting a candidate to a second-round interview. Keep it under 150 words.”
