Prompt-Engineering-Guide
Guides, papers, lessons, notebooks and resources for prompt engineering, context engineering, RAG, and AI Agents.
The Prompt Engineering Guide from DAIR.AI is reading material rather than software: an open, maintained guide to how prompting actually works, from the basic shapes of an instruction through to techniques like chain of thought, retrieval and structured output. It is organised as a course you can work through, and it cites the papers behind each technique, which is what separates it from the thousands of prompt tip lists online. If you have been using models by instinct and want to know why some prompts work, this is the resource most likely to change how you write them. It costs nothing, needs nothing installed, and is worth an afternoon.
