PROMPT ENGINEERING CHEAT SHEET

Ex Verbis, Mundus

▶ 5 POWER PROMPTS

01“Think step by step before building”

Use when: Starting a complex feature

02“Ask me clarifying questions first”

Use when: Your prompt is vague or multi-part

03“Explain why this will work before proceeding”

Use when: You want to validate the approach first

04“Tell me what you'll do step by step and wait for approval”

Use when: You need full control over the build

05“Rate my app 1–10 and suggest improvements”

Use when: After a build session to refine quality

▶ THE JSON SKILL HACK

Instead of loading general ICP Skills, grab the specific skill JSON from skills.internetcomputer.org and paste it directly into Caffeine. More precision. Less noise.

1.Go to skills.internetcomputer.org

2.Find your skill (e.g. HTTP Outcalls, Token Ledger)

3.Click the JSON tab

4.Copy the full JSON block

5.Paste it into your Caffeine prompt

{ "skill": "http-outcalls", "version": "1.0", ... }

▶ CORE PRINCIPLES

Be specific, not vagueDescribe your app like you're briefing a developer

One change at a timeIsolate changes for predictable results

Use ICP Skills as anchorLoad relevant skills at session start

Iterate, don't rebuildSmall targeted prompts beat big rewrites
