Prompt 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.
