A dog-park day-pass tester pastes three worked story→Gherkin pairs before asking for a fourth. Which prompting technique is this?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Three worked pairs before the real ask is few-shot — more than one example teaching the pattern. One example would be one-shot; none would be zero-shot. Meta would ask for a better prompt, not Gherkin.
Full Explanation
Few-shot prompting supplies multiple examples that consolidate the desired response behavior. The day-pass tester’s three story→Gherkin pairs before a fourth request match that technique. Zero-shot uses none; one-shot uses one; meta prompting generates or refines prompts rather than providing worked testware examples.
