Top 10 prompt principles to follow.

The other day, I found this paper with interesting findings for anyone who wants to write better prompts.
The researchers created a list of prompt principles and tested them to see how much they improve the quality of large language models (LLMs) responses.
However, if you read the abstract or conclusion, it’s not obvious which principles work and which don’t (spoiler: not all the principles significantly improved LLMs response)
I read the entire paper to find the best prompt principles. In this article, I’ll list the top 10 prompt principles you need to follow and show bad vs good prompts.
The Prompt Principles (and metrics used to evaluate them)
Here are the 26 prompt principles presented in the paper
Researchers evaluated the principles based on two metrics: boosting and correctness
- Boosting: Assesses the enhancement in the quality of responses
- Correctness: Assesses the precision of responses (accuracy, relevance, no errors)
