System Prompts, Few-Shot In-Context Learning & Structured Outputs

Designing deterministic prompts, JSON Schema enforcement, Chain-of-Thought (CoT), and guardrails.

Prompt engineering is structured interface design for non-deterministic inference engines. We cover:

  • System Persona Framing
  • Few-Shot Exemplars for few-shot in-context learning
  • Structured JSON Schema enforcement with Pydantic
  • ReAct (Reason + Act) loop architectures
