Prompt engineering

The following sections help you create, manage, and optimize your prompts:

Create and update prompts

Build prompts via the UI or SDK, configure settings, use tools, add multimodal inputs, and connect model providers.

Manage prompts

Organize with tags, commit changes, trigger webhooks, and share through the public prompt hub.

Build agent and skill contexts

Create, version, and promote agent and skill contexts in the LangSmith Context Hub.

Explore the prompt hub

Browse and manage prompt tags and discover community prompts from the LangChain Hub.

Open the Playground

Test and experiment with prompts using custom endpoints and model configurations.

Follow tutorials

Learn step-by-step techniques, like optimizing classifiers and advanced prompt engineering.

Use Polly in the Playground to optimize prompts, generate tools, and create output schemas with AI-powered assistance.

To set up a LangSmith instance, visit the Platform setup section to choose between cloud, hybrid, or self-hosted. All options include observability, evaluation, prompt engineering, and deployment.
