Effective, Efficient and Green AI Prompting

Write prompts that get the answer first time, at the smallest footprint that does the job.

About

Eight modules on the Prompt Footprint and the Five Levers:

* Specification

* Structure

* Reasoning depth

* Model selection

* Orchestration

* For prompts you write yourself and for the agents that run without you

Outcomes

  • Understand what a prompt actually costs. A prompt is authored once and runs on every request. The first module accounts for that across cost, carbon, energy, water and embodied hardware.
  • Get the answer first time. Vague requests are retried, and every retry reruns the whole task. Specification is the lever that removes most of that work.
  • Keep agents inside a budget. Autonomous work multiplies calls and carried context. Budgets and stop conditions make the cost predictable.
