Prompting Concepts Visualised

Visualising prompting concepts using Mermaid:

Basic Prompt Interaction
graph LR; A(Your Input / Prompt) --> B(Language Model); B --> C(Generated Output / Response);
Iterative Prompting
graph LR; A[Initial Prompt] --> B{LLM Response}; B -- Evaluate --> C{Satisfied?}; C -- No --> D[Refine Prompt]; D --> B; C -- Yes --> E[Use Response];
Common Prompt Components
graph TD; P(Prompt) --> R(Role / Persona); P --> T(Task / Goal); P --> C(Context / Input Data); P --> F(Format / Output Style); P --> X(Constraints / Negatives);
