## Abstract

Prompt design and engineering has rapidly become essential for maximizing the potential of large language models. In this paper, we introduce core concepts, advanced techniques like Chain-of-Thought and Reflection, and the principles behind building LLM-based agents. Finally, we provide a survey of tools for prompt engineers.
