You also learnt a structured approach - consisting of persona, introduction, individual content, format and additional information - to create better prompts. This kata builds on these foundations and focuses on advanced techniques for creating prompts.

Task: Prompts with multiple subtasks

The use of multi-level prompts is suitable for processing complex tasks and requests. They consist of a structured series of subtasks to achieve a specific result and are particularly useful when a single request is not sufficient to gather the required information or solve a complex problem.

Procedure:

  1. Goal definition Start with a clear definition of the goal. You can use the structure described in [Kata 7], for example.
  2. Divide into subtasks Derive smaller subtasks from the goal, each of which is geared towards a specific aspect of the overall task. Write a separate instruction for each subtask.

Example: Creating a concept for a learning event

Objective: To create a concept for a half-day learning event in a company in which participants learn about the application and possibilities of generative AI and try it out in practice. The event should be interactive and suitable for beginners.

Sub-tasks:

  1. create a presentation title and outline for a short introduction to the basics of generative AI, including its main application areas such as text and image generation.
  2. think of 3 practical exercises that the participants can use to try out the content themselves in a low-threshold way.
  3. create key points for a motivating closing speech to be given by the entrepreneur's board of directors.
