Prompt

A Prompt Engineering pattern library

This library collects 8 high-frequency prompt patterns: role-play, Few-shot, Chain-of-Thought, ReAct, Self-Consistency, Tree-of-Thoughts, and more. Each pattern ships with a reusable template, the scenarios it fits, and the pitfalls to avoid — so you reach for a template instead of designing every prompt from scratch.
