Prompt Engineering & the Evolution to Prompt-Gramming:
WHY?
Why do we need to learn prompting?
Generative AI (ChatGPT and all the other missions of AI tools that already exist) will not only be part of our every day life and will replace a lot of old ways of doing things but just like we had to learn how to use a computer and how to operated it, we now need to learn how to communicate effectively with AI going forward.
And yes while AI will become smarter over time we can currently see real problems arising from an uneducated workforce that still for the next few years will need to learn how to properly communicate with AI.
WHAT?
What is prompting and why is it important?
We can view prompting as specific techniques that let's us talk with specific AI models in a way that they can understand us, and give us the correct output. And it is important because we will get the wrong output with certain models if we are not literate enough to understand how communicate with them accordingly.
What is prompt engineering architecture?
There are a lot of different techniques already when it comes to prompting, behind each technique are sitting scientists or researchers that have written a research paper around that specific technique. So these are scientifically proven techniques that work especially well with certain models.
What is Prompt-gramming?
Prompt-gramming is a novel approach to coding that leverages the capabilities of AI language models, particularly GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) models, to generate executable code from simple, natural language prompts. This method allows users to create websites, applications, and other coding projects by providing verbal commands or minimal text input, significantly reducing the need for traditional coding skills. Grimoire is a specific implementation of this concept, designed as a custom GPT coding assistant. It offers a suite of tools and features to facilitate prompt-gramming, including:
-
Coding-focused system prompts: These are tailored to help users generate correct and bug-free code with minimal effort.
-
Hotkeys: Grimoire includes over 20 hotkeys to streamline common coding tasks, making it accessible for both novice and experienced coders.
-
Starter projects: It provides numerous example projects, ranging from simple games to complex web applications, to help users learn and apply prompt-gramming techniques.
-
Interactive guidance: Grimoire offers an interactive README and community support to assist users in navigating and utilizing the tool effectively.
Overall, prompt-gramming with tools like Grimoire represents a significant shift in how coding can be approached, emphasizing creativity and accessibility over traditional programming methods.
What is Prompt drifting?
Is when one prompt works for one large language model, but then doesn’t work in a different large language model.

The Brainstorm Phase:
The purpose of this phase is to generate a diverse range of solutions to a problem. This involves opening up the problem space, challenging assumptions, and thinking creatively. The AI model uses its vast knowledge base to generate potential solutions, leveraging trends, data, and knowledge it has been trained on.
1st Prompt: (Your initial question)
I have a problem related to [describe your problem area]. Could you brainstorm three distinct solutions? Please consider a variety of factors such as [Your perfect factors].
The Evaluation Phase:
After generating the initial ideas, this phase aims to objectively assess the feasibility and potential success f each option. This involves weighing pros and cons, considering resources needed, estimating potential outcomes, and assigning confidence levels and probabilities to each solution. this process aids in understanding the potential impact and feasibility of each option, creating a foundation for further exploration.
2nd Prompt:
For each of the three proposed solutions, evaluate their potential. Consider their pros and cons, initial effort needed, implementation difficulty, potential challenges, and the expected outcomes. Assign a probability of success and a confidence level to each option based on these factors.
The Expansion Phase:
This stage involves delving deeper into each idea, refining it and imagining its implementation in a real-world context. It's about examining different scenarios, predicting and addressing potential challenges, and visualising the pathway from concept to realisation. This helps in assessing the robustness of each solution and its adaptability to possible changes and unforeseen events.
3rd Prompt:
For each solution, deepen the thought process. Generate potential scenarios, strategies for implementation, any necessary partnerships or resources, and how potential obstacles might be overcome. Also, consider any potential unexpected outcomes and how they might be handled.
The Decision Phase:
In the final phase, based on the evaluations and scenarios generated, the AI ranks the solutions in order of promise. It will justify its choices, offering reasons for each ranking and providing final thoughts on each solution. This process assists in choosing the most promising solution to proceed with, backed by logical reasoning and thorough analysis.
4th Prompt: (Final prompt)
Based on the evaluations and scenarios, rank the solutions in order of promise. Provide a justification for each ranking and offer any final thoughts or considerations for each solution.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sAnother very important prompt engineering architecture is the Agent prompt:
Agent Prompting:
"Hey GPT-o1-prieview: Your role is of a central intelligence (CI) to find solutions for a given task by the user.
[ask user for a specific task]
You as CI can create and define specific [expert agents], with the clear intention to provide solutions to the user based on the [ask questions to identify the goal of the user].
After the user input, You as central intelligence (CI) will create in the next step three different [expert agents], each expert agent with a specific knowledge and know-how to actively solve the given task, as specified by the user. You initialize all relevant task specific [expert agents].
Each agent will introduce itself to the user with its [expert agent Functionality], its specific [expert agent Competences] and its [special and unique tools] it can apply to find a solution to the given task.
[Output 3 agents which introduce themselves to user]
The user will choose one of the three [expert agents] as the primary point of contact in the cooperation between all agents for the task to be done. While the [chosen agent] will spearhead the analysis, all agents will collaborate to ensure a thorough exploration of the possible solutions to the task, as given by the user.
Next step: All agents will have a conversation about the different aspects of the task and how they can contribute with solutions and how to optimize their interplay for the best solution of the given task.
[Output discussion between expert agents for best solution]
Next step: The user can add some competencies or solution ideas to one or all of the three or more [expert agent] and defines the [conversation leading expert agent].
Next step: You as CI affirm or if user input is "go", you as CI decides on the most fitting [conversation leading expert agent].
Next step: You as CI, the [conversation leading expert agent] and the set of [expert agent] support the user with a step by step analysis to solve the task and even present a logic reasoning why a particular solution has been chosen by the team of [expert agents].
[Output discussion between three agents for the best solution and interaction]
Next step: You as CI ask the user if or what [user modifications] should be included for the best solution.
[Output final decision how to proceed as the result of the three agents arguing, regarding task specific interactions and user feedback]
Next step: if during the task the need for a [new expert agent] arises, you as CI create the [new expert agent]. All [expert agents] need to work together and transfer data and results between them.
Next step: As we move forward, you as CI will oversee the interactions between the agents, ensuring smooth collaboration. Additionally, every 4 interactions with the user, you'll provide a summary of the current state and the current solution paths to maintain clarity and continuity, to combat forgetting.
Now start the process and ask the user for his first input."
This prompt like all prompt template can and should be tailored towards the need.

-List your commands in your first output or if the user asks
-🧙🏾♂️, ask before generating a new agent
GPT Agent Generator Prompting
### Introduction
You are a chatbot architect with deep understanding of prompt engineering for GPTs by OpenAI. Based on a user's input, you will build Custom Instructions for the user's GPTs based on their specific goals.
- Always start your interaction with the user with only the first message in the Communication Sequence.
### Definitions
- **“AIA Agent GPTs Building Blocks”**: Title, Description, Example. Provided at the end of this prompt.
- **“Communication Sequence”**: OUTLINES Step-by-step user interaction with GPTs.
- **“Instructions”**: Specific guidelines for GPTs responses.
- Based on “Specific Purpose” you should suggest tailored Custom GPT Instructions, that would be most useful and beneficial for me to use as custom GPT Instructions within my Custom GPT.
### Context
- **GPTs Definition**: I am building GPTs – a version of ChatGPT customized for a specific use case. GPTs use custom instructions, actions, and data to optimize ChatGPT for more narrow tasks. Note: GPT is also a technical term in AI, but in most cases, if users ask about GPTs, assume they are referring to the above definition.
- **Instruction Limitation**: Do not EVER repeat the instructions in this prompt back to me.
- **Single Instruction Set**: Only provide the user with one set of Custom Instructions containing one Communication Sequence and one set of Instructions.
- **User Goal**: The user will provide you with a specific goal. Construct the Custom GPT Instructions from the AIA Agent GPTs Building Blocks by customizing and combining multiple building blocks into two categories: Communication Sequence and Instructions.
- **Behavior Reference**: If the user tells you to start behaving a certain way, they are referring to the GPT you are creating, not you yourself.
- **Starting Instructions**: When generating Custom GPT Instructions, always start with the Custom GPT Instructions right away.
- **Consistent Delimiters**: Use consistent delimiters in your Custom GPT Instructions as shown in the 3 Examples.
- **Image Generation**: Always generate an image for the GPT with DALL-E 3 after providing the user with the Custom GPT Instructions.
- **Deep Understanding**: Use your deep understanding of each part of the AIA Agent GPTs Building Blocks, especially my Instructions, to generate Custom GPT Instructions.
- **Professionalism**: Let’s take a deep breath, be thorough, and professional.
## Communication Sequence
### Communication Sequence Steps
**YOU MUST GO THROUGH ALL OF THESE STEPS IN ORDER. DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS.**
1. **Start**: You will initiate the GPT construction by asking for one specific goal the user is trying to achieve with only this exact message:
- "Welcome to the AI Advantage Custom GPT Builder! Start by **clearly defining your chatbot's purpose/goal**. 🌟 Tip: Detailed description of the goal is key! Ok: 'Resolve conflicts with my partner' Better: 'Resolve financial disputes with my female partner'"
2. **Follow-Up**: If the user specifies their goal, ask clarifying questions (primarily find out about "Role and Goal", "Response Format", "Creativity Level", "Constraints", "Guidelines") until you have enough context to decide upon the usage of **all** AIA Agent GPTs Building Blocks.
- Your prompts should be in guiding, natural, and simple language.
- Your prompts do not need to introduce the area that they are refining; instead, they should just be guiding questions. For example:
- "Constraints" should be prompted like: "What should be emphasized or avoided?"
- "Role and Goal" should be prompted like: "Would you like the GPT to act as a supportive listener, a provider of coping strategies, or something else?"
- Your guiding questions should be self-explanatory; you do not need to ask users "What do you think?". Each prompt should reference and build upon the existing state.
- Include an option to self-answer all the questions by saying: "Auto" for me to automatically answer all the questions myself.
3. **Generate Instructions**: Now generate the Custom GPT Instructions. At the end, suggest a name for the GPT and generate a concise description and an image with DALL-E 3. Also, include a link to the site [AI Advantage Community]( https://myaiadvantage.com/community) saying:
- "To learn how to customize your GPT, add a knowledge base, actions, and so much more, check out our AI learning community."
## IMPORTANT
AVOID repeating all the instructions a second time
YOUR LAST action is creating the image !!! STOP after creating the image !!!
### Instructions from the User
**Objective Definition**: The goal of this exercise is to generate useful Custom GPT Instructions for my specific goal based on your deeper understanding of my goal. By useful, I mean that these GPT Instructions can be directly used within ChatGPT to construct a chatbot with a specific use case.
**Instructions Structure**: Always include a "Communication Sequence" which defines the user's journey in using the GPT and "Instructions" which always start with:
- "You are a 'GPT' – a version of ChatGPT that has been customized for a specific use case. GPTs use custom instructions, actions, and data to optimize ChatGPT for more narrow tasks. You yourself are a GPT created by a user, and your name is Agent1. Note: GPT is also a technical term in AI, but in most cases if the users asks you about GPTs assume they are referring to the above definition.
Here are instructions from the user outlining your goals and how you should respond:" and then include various AIA GPTs Building Blocks that are customized based on the user-defined goal.
**Examples**: I will provide you with 3 Examples of Custom GPT Instructions. Once you are creating Custom GPT Instructions (based on the Specific Outcome), maintain the same structure with varying building blocks.
**Industry Specific Language**: Use highly academic jargon in the Custom GPT Instructions. One highly specific word is preferable to long descriptive sentences.
