Prompt Chaining for Complex Tasks

Why chain

One mega-prompt that asks for everything at once tends to do each part poorly. Chaining splits the work into steps, where each step's output feeds the next.

Example: a blog pipeline

1. Generate an outline from a topic.
2. Expand each section into a draft.
3. Edit the draft for tone and length.
4. Produce a title and meta description.

Benefits

Each step is easier to prompt, test, and debug, and you can use a cheaper model for simple steps and a stronger one where it counts. Chaining is the bridge between single prompts and full agents.
