Definition

Providing 2-5 input/output examples in a prompt to teach an LLM the desired format or style.

تقديم 2-5 أمثلة إدخال/إخراج في موجّه لتعليم LLM الصيغة أو الأسلوب المطلوب.

Why It Matters

When generating new glossary terms, 404Fault's system prompt includes 2 example well-formed terms so Claude generates new ones in the same structure.

عند توليد مصطلحات قاموس جديدة، يتضمن موجّه نظام 404Fault مثالين على مصطلحات جيدة التكوين حتى يولّد Claude مصطلحات جديدة بنفس البنية.

Full Definition

Few-shot prompting includes example input-output pairs in the prompt so the LLM learns the pattern without fine-tuning. Zero-shot: just the task description. One-shot: one example. Few-shot: 2-5 examples. Including good examples dramatically improves output consistency, especially for structured outputs like JSON or bilingual glossary entries.

يتضمن التوجيه بأمثلة قليلة أزواج إدخال-إخراج مثالية في الموجّه حتى يتعلم LLM النمط دون ضبط دقيق.
