Prompt Lab

Notes & experiments in prompt engineering — from basics → patterns → evaluation.

Prompt Lab is a lightweight VitePress site for documenting prompt engineering with clarity and speed. It emphasizes minimal setup, systemic thinking (inputs, constraints, roles, evaluation), and tight feedback loops: hypothesize → test → measure → refine → repeat.

This repo focuses on:

• Foundations – concise primers to establish shared language and mental models.
• Patterns – reusable scaffolds for tasks, constraints, roles, critique loops, and more.
• Evaluation – experiment logs, checklists, and lightweight rubrics so changes are measurable.

Site Structure

• Home – orientation, quick actions, and project principles.
• Foundations – /foundations/ (start here to align terminology and goals).
• Evaluation – experiment log template at /evaluation/#experiment-log-template.
• Patterns – modular blueprints (kept brief and testable).

Principles

• Minimal Setup: Only what you need to think clearly and iterate quickly.
• Prompt as a System: Treat prompts as configurable systems, not magic words.
• Tight Feedback Loops: Small experiments, fast iterations, honest measurements.
