Lesson
Examples teach by demonstration. Constraints define the boundaries. Together, they help the model produce consistent outputs.
The best examples are short, representative, and labelled. They show the pattern without flooding the context.
Objectives
Choose effective examples.
Write constraints that prevent failure.
Avoid contradictory examples.
Practice
Add two examples to a classification prompt.
Write three constraints for tone, length, and forbidden claims.
Next action
Build a few-shot prompt for a content-review task.
