Abstract
Abstract The novel discipline of prompt-engineering is a combination of artificial intelligence, linguistics, and user experience design. Crafting effective prompts for AI models like OpenAI’s GPT can optimize the quality of generated output, especially in reference services. The article explains the CLEAR Framework—a guiding tool that incorporates principles of conciseness, logic, explicitness, adaptability, and reflectiveness in prompt crafting. Despite challenges including biases, ethical concerns, and keeping up with rapidly evolving AI capabilities, the field also presents opportunities for growth. The article concludes with a call to action for library professionals to embrace and master prompt-engineering as an essential skill.
