Prompt Engineering Best Practices
mainTo achieve high-quality results with Browser-Use, follow these prompt engineering principles:
Structure
- Be specific about the goal: Clearly state the objective.
- Break complex tasks into steps: Use numbered lists for multi-step processes.
- Include format specifications: Mention desired output formats (e.g., JSON, Markdown, Google Docs).
- Provide context: Include relevant background information.
- Set constraints: Specify limitations or requirements.
Clarity
- Use precise language: Avoid ambiguity.
- Specify parameters: Include exact values, ranges, or criteria.
- Clarify expectations: Explain what success looks like.
- Include examples: Provide examples of desired outputs.
- Define terminology: Explain industry-specific or technical terms.
Adaptability
- Include fallback options: Provide alternatives if the primary approach fails.
- Specify error handling: Explain how to deal with potential issues.
- Allow for iteration: Build in opportunities for refinement.
- Request verification: Ask the agent to verify critical information.
- Include decision points: Define how choices should be made when alternatives exist.
Efficiency
- Prioritize tasks: Indicate which aspects are most important.
- Set time or resource limits: Specify constraints on depth or breadth.
- Focus on value-add activities: Emphasize where the agent provides the most value.
- Minimize unnecessary steps: Avoid redundant activities.
- Batch similar operations: Group related tasks for efficiency.
