Overview
Prompt engineering for professional AI requires different techniques than casual AI use. Professional prompts must specify jurisdiction, request citations, define output format, and set quality standards appropriate for legal, tax, or medical work.
Key Principles
- •Specify the jurisdiction and applicable law
- •Request citations to primary sources
- •Define the desired output structure
- •Set the professional standard expected
- •Provide relevant context and constraints
Example Approach
Set Context
Define the professional domain, jurisdiction, and relevant background facts.
State the Question
Ask a precise, well-scoped question with clear boundaries.
Specify Requirements
Request citations, define output format, and set quality expectations.
Review and Iterate
Evaluate the output, refine the prompt, and verify all citations.
