Prompting
Prompting systems that stay on spec
Use system and developer messages to define mission, schema, and tool boundaries so outputs stay consistent.
Design prompt contracts that control tone, format, tool usage, and fallbacks across the Gateway API.
- Pin role, audience, and mission in the system prompt.
- Add an output schema and a single example.
- Define tool rules and fallback behavior.
- Validate outputs and retry with corrections.
Prompt contracts
Declare output shape, ordering, and guardrails so responses are predictable.
Few-shot anchors
Pair one strong example with rules to align tone and format.
Tool gating
Tell the model when to call tools and when to respond directly.
Evaluation loops
Run prompt tests and compare outputs before shipping.
Prompting systems guides
Curated recipes, playbooks, and walkthroughs for this topic area.
Eval flywheel for prompt regressions
Generate test cases, score outputs, and track regressions.
Reasoning transparency patterns
Display model reasoning to build user trust and enable debugging.
Multi-agent workflow patterns
Coordinate complex workflows across specialized agents with governance and handoffs.
