LLM-based Prompt Generation from a Task Description

Comparison of LLM-based Prompt Generation Methods for Initialization

A development team is tasked with finding the optimal prompt for a novel and complex text classification task. They plan to use an automated, multi-stage process that repeatedly evaluates, refines, and generates new prompts. Given that the team has very little prior experience with what constitutes a good prompt for this specific task, which of the following actions is the most critical first step to ensure their automated search process is effective?

Starting a Prompt Optimization Project

An automated, iterative process is often used to discover effective prompts. Arrange the following fundamental stages of this process into the correct chronological order.
