Supporting context
The article is a practitioner's distillation of Google's 68-page prompt engineering whitepaper by Lee Boonstra, filtered through Kamil Banc's hands-on experience training business users. Rather than covering advanced methods like token sampling or self-consistency, the author selects five techniques that deliver results immediately: showing examples, leading with action verbs, specifying length and format, decomposing complex tasks, and journaling successful prompts. The methodology emphasizes systematic experimentation over searching for perfect templates, with a simple three-column journal to capture what works. For practitioners, the recommended starting point is to pick one business process, apply the techniques, document outcomes, and iterate, supported by browser-based tools like Right-Click Prompt for storing and reusing winning prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, and other platforms.
