Two thousand one hundred and sixty annotated prompts. Thirteen parts. One book.
The Prompt and Pattern Library is the working reference for AI engineers, technical writers, analysts,
and anyone who builds with large language models. Every prompt is annotated with the same six-part schema
- intent, inputs, outputs, constraints, failure modes, and model recommendation - so you can lift, adapt,
and ship without guessing.
Every prompt is indexed three ways: by use case, by industry, and by underlying pattern - so you can
find the right one whether you know what you want, who you're writing for, or how it should be
structured.
Companion to Volume I (foundations) and Volume II (production systems). Each volume stands alone;
together they form the complete AI Engineering Bible.
