📝Overview
The Prompt Engineering whitepaper—published by Google and featured on Kaggle—is a comprehensive guide (~65–69 pages) that treats prompt design as a disciplined engineering practice. Covering foundational techniques like zero-shot, few-shot, system and role prompts, it also dives into advanced methods such as Chain-of-Thought (CoT), ReAct, Self-Consistency, and Tree-of-Thought for improved reasoning and structured outputs. Authored by Lee Boonstra and other experts, it offers a structured taxonomy, practical tips, parameter tuning (temperature, top‑k/p), and real-world examples including code generation, medical summarization, and external tool usage. Positioned as a go-to manual, it bridges theoretical best practices with production-ready prompting workflows suitable for LLM integration across domains.
