Five pillars. Daily articles. Every post ships with working prompts you can copy, adapt, and deploy.
Chain-of-thought, few-shot, role prompting, structured output, meta-prompting.
Seventeen models, thirteen spatial benchmarks, one verdict: "think step by step" makes maps, mazes, and layouts worse. Here's what to send instead.
Meta's semi-formal reasoning template forces premises, traced paths, and a derived conclusion -- so you can see exactly where the model is bluffing.
You can't command next-token prediction into honesty, but you can engineer the conditions where it stops guessing.
Diffusion models like Inception's new Mercury 2 refine the whole answer in parallel, so scaffold the output shape instead of nudging a linear reasoning chain.
Google's migration guide quietly killed the majority-vote trick you've leaned on for years. Here's what replaces it.
The NoWait technique cuts chain-of-thought length 27-51% with zero accuracy loss -- here's how to apply it in Claude, GPT, and Gemini
Steal the validation-gated completion pattern from this week's Paper-replication skill and make every agent attach a receipt before it stops.
ROMA hit state-of-the-art on SealQA by compressing every subtask tree before it bubbles up. Here are the four node prompts you can copy without adopting the framework.
The 'response bloat' tax quietly doubles your token bill. Here's the prompt pattern that keeps raw tool payloads out of the model's working memory.
The four standing prompts behind Boris Cherny's "loop engineering" -- find-work, do-work, verify, remember -- with copy-paste scaffolds and the guardrails that keep them from running rogue.
BUILD 2026 made code-as-action a first-class pattern. Here's how to rewrite your tool-use prompts from "pick a tool" to "write code that calls the tools" and cut tokens 30-50%.
Microsoft's new Handoff orchestration pattern proves the routing decision isn't architecture, it's a prompt. Here's how to write it so your agents don't deadlock or drop context.
Defensive system prompts and validation chains for the attack class that hits harder the smarter your model is
Multi-turn jailbreaks hit 97% success rates -- here are the exact prompt sequences to stress-test your agentic workflows
40 injection payloads organized by attack class with expected-vs-actual output scoring

Pre-built prompt templates for log analysis, IOC extraction, and timeline reconstruction
Code generation, debugging, architecture, testing, DevOps.
The new GitHub CLI skill system lets you write one agent instruction set that runs everywhere -- here's how to prompt it right
Anthropic's April 14 Routines release made unattended agent prompts mainstream, and exposed every bad habit your interactive prompts have been hiding.
How to write prompts for Cursor 3 background agents and Claude Code subagents that run concurrently without stepping on each other
Why most AI-generated tests are useless and the prompt structure that fixes it
