As we cover more and more examples and applications that are possible with prompt engineering, you will notice that there are certain elements that make up a prompt.
A prompt can contain any of the following components:
**Instruction** - a specific task or instruction you want the model to perform
**Context** - can involve external information or additional context that can steer the model to better responses
**Input Data** - is the input or question that we are interested to find a response for
Not all the components are required for a prompt and the format depends on the task at hand. We will touch on more concrete examples in upcoming guides.
