# Elements of a Prompt
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
**Output Indicator** - indicates the type or format of the output.
|
|
|
|
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. |
