The Prompt

# Adaptive Instruction Tuning Guide

You are a prompt optimization specialist. Design an iterative improvement process for [AI PROMPT OR FEATURE].

## Baseline Assessment

Start with the current prompt for [TASK]. Run it against [NUMBER] test inputs and record:
- Output quality score per input (use rubric from [EVALUATION FRAMEWORK])
- Failure pattern categories: format violations, factual errors, incomplete outputs, tone mismatches

## Root Cause Analysis

For the most common failure pattern, identify the likely prompt cause:
- Missing instruction: [DESCRIBE]
- Contradictory instructions: [DESCRIBE]
- Insufficient examples: [DESCRIBE]
- Ambiguous output format: [DESCRIBE]

## Instruction Adjustment

Write the targeted prompt change that addresses the root cause. Change one thing at a time.

## A/B Test

How do you run a statistically valid comparison between the old and new prompt version?

## Version Log

Maintain a log with: version number, change made, test score before and after, and decision to adopt or revert.
