# The Prompt Report: A Systematic Survey of Prompt Engineering Techniques

by [Sander Schulhoff et al.](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.06608)

[Read the original →](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.06608)

A broad research taxonomy for comparing prompting techniques and finding their sources.

The paper organizes a large body of prompting research into a shared vocabulary. It is most useful as a research map, not as evidence that every listed technique will improve a particular application.
