The basics of "prompt engineering" — getting better results from AI.

Key principles:
1. Be specific — "Write a 3-paragraph summary" beats "summarize this"
2. Give context — "You are helping a beginner learn Python..."
3. Specify format — "Give me a bulleted list" or "Use markdown headings"
4. Use examples — Show the AI what you want by example

Power techniques:
- Break complex tasks into steps
- Ask the AI to "think step by step"
- Request it explain its reasoning
- Iterate and refine based on output
