Few-Shot Prompting
Three to five examples, and what makes them work matters far more than the count. They should mirror the real case, sit inside example tags so the model can tell them from instructions, and vary enough that no accidental pattern is learned. That last property is the objective's best question. Examples too alike teach the accident rather than the rule, so if all of them happen to have two-word inputs then two-word inputs are what gets handled, and the fix is varying them rather than adding more or raising effort. Reach for an example when an instruction has repeatedly failed to land a format.
