LLM Prompt Engineering

Avoid loaded language: LLM's works best with objective facts, figures, and plain inputs, so try to be neutral and avoid subjective framing.
Be specific: Ensuring you specify a response word count, a desired tone of voice, and other specifics will decrease the likelihood you’ll have to request another answer.
Specify what you don’t want: It can sometimes help to tell LLM's to produce an amenable answer if you also specify what you don’t want it to do.
Provide examples: Much like a human, LLM's often understands best when you provide an example for it to work with, especially if you want it to produce something that closely resembles something you’ve seen.
Ask to “act like” someone: Sometimes, it can help to start your prompt by askin to “act like” a certain type of person that would be particularly well-placed to respond to the query you're posing.

These are some prompts which resulted in good answers from the most common LLM's.
