This paper delves into the pivotal role of prompt engineering in unleashing
the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). Prompt engineering is the
process of structuring input text for LLMs and is a technique integral to
optimizing the efficacy of LLMs. This survey elucidates foundational principles
of prompt engineering, such as role-prompting, one-shot, and few-shot
prompting, as well as more advanced methodologies such as the chain-of-thought
and tree-of-thoughts prompting. The paper sheds light on how external
assistance in the form of plugins can assist in this task, and reduce machine
hallucination by retrieving external knowledge. We subsequently delineate
prospective directions in prompt engineering research, emphasizing the need for
a deeper understanding of structures and the role of agents in Artificial
Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC) tools. We discuss how to assess the
efficacy of prompt methods from different perspectives and using different
methods. Finally, we gather information about the application of prompt
engineering in such fields as education and programming, showing its
transformative potential. This comprehensive survey aims to serve as a friendly
guide for anyone venturing through the big world of LLMs and prompt
engineering.
