Prompt (Harness Engineering)

Prompt is a partial input that makes an agent complete it. A prompt is from human.

The harness augments the prompt into context, the packed stream the model reads.

Prompts may consist of text, image, sound, or other media.

A language model takes text (a prompt) and generates text (a completion). From Liang et al., HELM (arXiv:2211.09110), CC BY 4.0.
