AI Prompting Course

Beyond COSTAR, CRISPE, and RACE, there are several other valuable frameworks worth exploring.

Before-After-Bridge (BAB)

From classic copywriting, emotionally structured for customer service:

• Before: Establish the user's pain point
• After: Paint the desired resolution
• Bridge: Explain how to get from A to B

Five S Model

Originally for educational prompts:

• Set the Scene: Establish context
• Specify Task: Define clear objectives
• Simplify Language: Use clear, accessible language
• Structure Response: Organize output format
• Share Feedback: Enable iteration

Agile Prompt Engineering

Borrows from agile software practices:

• Start simple, iterate quickly
• Tiered prompt deployment (basic > advanced)
• Cross-functional review loops
• Continuous evaluation via real-world metrics

Choosing the Right Framework

Different frameworks suit different needs. COSTAR for comprehensive design, RACE for speed, BAB for emotional connection, Five S for education, and Agile for iterative development.
