AI Cheat Sheets

Quick reference guides for prompts, agents, RAG, APIs, security, deployment, and practical AI workflows.

Prompt Engineering

✓Give role, task, context, format, and constraints.
✓Use examples when output quality matters.
✓Ask the model to explain assumptions.
✓Iterate instead of expecting perfection in one prompt.

AI Agents

✓Define goal, tools, memory, and boundaries.
✓Add human approval for high-risk actions.
✓Log important decisions and tool calls.
✓Test failure cases before production use.

RAG

✓Use clean and relevant source documents.
✓Chunk documents carefully.
✓Retrieve before generating.
✓Show sources so users can verify answers.

AI APIs

✓Keep API keys in environment variables.
✓Handle rate limits and retries.
✓Validate model responses.
✓Track cost, latency, and failures.

AI Security

✓Treat user input as untrusted.
✓Avoid sending unnecessary sensitive data.
✓Protect against prompt injection.
✓Use role-based access and audit logs.

AI Deployment

✓Monitor quality, cost, latency, and errors.
✓Use fallbacks for model failures.
✓Keep humans in the loop for critical flows.
✓Review prompts and outputs regularly.
