Prompt Engineering Pocket Guide: Techniques for Getting the Most from LLMs (Pocket Guides for Developers)

by Gabriel Anhaia (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
Write prompts that get results — not hallucinations.

Most developers treat prompting as trial and error. Copy a template, tweak the wording, hope for the best. This book replaces guesswork with engineering. Whether you use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or open-source models, the techniques behind reliable prompts are the same. Prompt Engineering Pocket Guide gives you repeatable patterns you can apply to any LLM.

Inside you will learn:

• System Prompts — Set the rules of the game. Control tone, format, and behavior before the user says a word.
• Few-Shot Prompting — Teach by example. Show the model what good output looks like and watch quality jump.
• Chain-of-Thought — Make the model reason step by step instead of guessing the final answer.
• Structured Output — Get JSON, YAML, or any format you need — reliably, every time.
• Prompt Chaining — Break complex tasks into stages where each prompt builds on the last.
• Temperature & Sampling — Understand what the knobs actually do and when to turn them.
• Prompt Optimization — Iterate systematically with evaluation metrics, not vibes.
• Common Pitfalls — Recognize and fix the patterns that cause hallucinations, refusals, and drift.

Every technique comes with clear Python code examples you can adapt to your stack. No filler, no hype — just the prompting patterns that separate unreliable demos from production-grade LLM applications.

Who this book is for: Software engineers, data scientists, and anyone building on top of LLMs who wants to stop guessing and start engineering their prompts.
