AI Prompt Engineering Cheat Sheet

What it is: a single-page prompt engineering reference covering chain-of-thought, role prompting, output formatting, and common failure modes. A lookup table, not a course.

What it covers

• Chain-of-thought — getting a model to show reasoning instead of jumping to an answer
• Role prompting — assigning a role to shift tone, depth, and defaults
• Output formatting — specifying structure so you stop hand-cleaning responses
• Common failure modes — what goes wrong and the correction for each
