AI SDK Foundations: Prompts
Explains the fundamental concepts of prompt engineering within the AI SDK, covering how to structure, manage, and optimize prompts for LLM interactions.
When To Use
Use when you need to implement structured prompt patterns or optimize how text instructions are sent to large language models within an application.

What This Skill Covers
- Prompts are instructions that you give a large language model (LLM) to tell it what to do. It's like when you ask someone for directions; the clearer your qu...
- Main sections:
Text Prompts,System Prompts,Message Prompts,Provider Options,Function Call Level.
Workflow
- Open the most relevant file under
docs/for the exact documented workflow and wording. - Open
schemas/files for exact structured contracts. - Open
examples/files for concrete requests, commands, snippets, and manifests. - Do not add behavior or configuration that is not present in the attached source files.
