What is Meta Prompting and How does it work?

Short summary

Analytics Vidhya explains meta-prompting, a technique where you ask an LLM to design a reusable prompt, template, checklist, or workflow before executing the actual task. This addresses the challenge of getting consistent, formatted results when teams need the same task completed repeatedly. The approach shifts prompt engineering from one-off instructions to systematic, reusable prompt design.
