Phase 12 · Prompt Engineering
TopicsPrompt Chaining
Part of the AI Engineer Roadmap.
Summary
Breaking a complex task into a sequence of smaller prompts, feeding one's output into the next — often more reliable than one giant prompt trying to do everything at once.
How to Learn This
- 1Break a complex task into 2-3 chained prompts and compare quality vs. a single mega-prompt.
- 2Learn to design clear input/output contracts between chained steps.
- 3Identify when chaining adds unnecessary latency/cost vs. when it genuinely improves quality.
