Prompt Chaining

Overview

Prompt chaining is a technique where complex tasks are broken down into a series of simpler, interconnected prompts. Each prompt in the chain builds upon the results of previous prompts, enabling more sophisticated and controlled AI interactions while maintaining clarity and reliability.
