Short Explanation
Meta prompting is asking the model to craft or improve the prompt — tester–AI pairing on the ask itself. Asking the model to write the prompt to use is not adding examples; it is prompting about prompting.
Full Explanation
Meta prompting uses the LLM to generate or refine its own prompts. That differs from few-shot or one-shot, which supply examples of desired testware, and from zero-shot, which simply omits examples. The field-lights tester’s request for the prompt to use is classic meta prompting.
