# OpenAI: prompt engineering guide OpenAI's general guide to writing instructions for its models: roles, examples, reusable prompts and testing. Key rules: put standing instructions in the instructions field or system role; show examples of good output; pin production apps to a specific model snapshot because versions behave differently; build tests that measure prompt behaviour before and after any change. Examples use the GPT-6 family (gpt-6-astra and siblings). Checked 2 Nov 2026. URL: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/prompt-engineering
