Prompt Engineering: setup showcase ideas and experiences

[adamoncloud]

I wanted to start a broader setup showcase thread around Prompt Engineering.

A useful angle is cost control, but it also connects with learning curve. Different tools and workflows can produce very different results even when the goal is similar.

It would be interesting to compare practical examples, experiments, setups, or lessons that show where Prompt Engineering is genuinely useful and where it still needs improvement.

A useful way to look at Prompt Engineering: setup showcase ideas and experiences is to focus first on prompt and engineering. That tends to make the trade-offs easier to compare. That way you can improve the workflow without losing track of what caused the improvement.

For Prompt Engineering: setup showcase ideas and experiences, I would separate the problem into setup, output quality and repeatability. prompt and engineering fits into that because it can change the result quite a lot depending on the workflow. It is usually easier to troubleshoot when each change is tested on its own.
