[poem] The Promptsmith's Sonnet

[github-actions[bot]]

You are an expert, creative, precise —
please output JSON with no extra text.
Step through your reasoning once or twice,
then tell me the answer. (I forget the rest.)

I've tried few-shot, I've tried chain-of-thought,
I've begged in English, French, and pseudocode.
I added "Take a deep breath" — it helped a lot.
Who knew politeness was a magic mode? 🧘

The bards would stare if they could see me here,
refining stanzas for a neural net,
where "meter" means "add one more example, dear"
and "rhyme scheme" means: respond in Markdown, set.

So here we are — the promptsmith and the model,
co-authoring verse in a chat window's glow.
Shakespeare had a quill; I've got a modal.
We both just want the vibes to flow. 🪄

Watching an engineer spend 45 minutes lovingly composing a system prompt — with more craft and anguish than any sonnet — sparked today's theme.
