Prompt Engineering

Master the art of communicating with AI models. Learn to write prompts that produce accurate, well-structured outputs across different contexts and complexity levels.

What You'll Learn at Each Tier

Tier 1 -- Script

Write effective single-turn prompts and generate working code for isolated functions. Understand basic AI tool capabilities and limitations.

Tier 2 -- Feature

Apply AI tools across multi-file features. Manage context windows, iterate on outputs, and integrate AI-generated code into existing codebases.

Tier 3 -- Module

Orchestrate AI across full feature implementations including data layer, API, and tests. Design effective prompt chains and evaluation criteria.

Tier 4 -- Application

Architect AI-integrated applications with auth, billing, and deployment. Manage AI costs, implement caching strategies, and design fallback patterns.

Tier 5 -- System

Design multi-service AI architectures. Coordinate AI across monorepos, implement cross-service AI workflows, and build organization-scale AI strategies.

Sample Challenge

Tier 2 Challenge Preview

Challenge Workspace

Write a prompt that instructs an AI to generate a SQL migration adding a users table with email, hashed password, created_at, and updated_at columns. The prompt must specify PostgreSQL syntax, include appropriate constraints, and request an idempotent migration.

Evaluation Criteria
