prompt-engineering-patterns from hermeticormus/claude-code-game-development is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
Master advanced prompt engineering techniques to maximize LLM performance, reliability, and controllability in production. Use when optimizing prompts, improving LLM outputs, or designing production prompt templates.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Prompt Engineering Patterns
Master advanced prompt engineering techniques to maximize LLM performance, reliability, and controllability.
## When to Use This Skill
- Designing complex prompts for production LLM applications
- Optimizing prompt performance and consistency
- Implementing structured reasoning patterns (chain-of-thought, tree-of-thought)
- Building few-shot learning systems with dynamic example selection
- Creating reusable prompt templates with variable interpolation
- Debugging and refining prompts that produce inconsistent outputs
- Implementing system prompts for specialized AI assistants
## Core Capabilities
### 1. Few-Shot Learning
- Example selection strategies (semantic similarity, diversity sampling)
- Balancing example count with context window constraints
- Constructing effective demonstrations with input-output pairs
- Dynamic example retrieval from knowledge bases
- Handling edge cases through strategic example selection
### 2. Chain-of-Thought Prompting
- Step-by-step reasoning elicitation
- Zero-shot CoT with "Let's think step by step"
- Few-shot CoT with reasoning traces
- Self-consistency techniques (sampling multiple reasoning paths)

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20251120.50bf83d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
