Prompt
What you input to the model-a command or question. Prompt quality determines response quality.
A prompt is the instruction or question you give an AI model-from simple "translate this" to multi-page instructions with examples and required response format. It's the basic way to control the model: you don't program it, you describe what you want. Prompt quality directly translates to result quality. Good prompts provide context (who you are, what you need it for), specify the task and format, and-for harder tasks-show an example of the expected response.
