Prompt engineering has changed a lot recently. I remember around this time last year, strict prompt engineering rules were a must. From You are a professional persona setting, to zero-shot, few-shot CoT techniques, these were necessary for quality outputs
Nowadays, it feels as if AI models do the engineering all by themselves without user input. They understand us well even if we re just casually typing (some call it lazy prompting , and I even saw a product related to this on PH)
Prompt Builder is an open-source macOS app for building multi-file AI prompts. Add local files, fetch transcripts, reorder blocks, track token usage, and summarize large text—all in one place. Perfect for long-context tasks like writing, coding, and research!
