[SYSTEM CONTEXT]     - Who is the AI, what are its capabilities/constraints
[TASK DESCRIPTION]   - What needs to be done
[INPUT DATA]         - The specific content to process

The Prompt Engineering Loop

1. Define Goal     -> What do you want to achieve?
2. Draft Prompt    -> Initial attempt
3. Test            -> Run with diverse inputs
4. Analyze         -> Identify failures and patterns
5. Refine          -> Improve based on analysis
6. Repeat          -> Until quality meets requirements
