## Decision facts: Prompt-Engineering-Guide

- **Adopt for:** Decision-critical facts for Prompt-Engineering-Guide

## Choose when

### Choose Prompt-Engineering-Guide if…

- Prompt-Engineering-Guide is primarily MDX; awesome-gpt-image-2 is JavaScript.
- Tags unique to Prompt-Engineering-Guide: agent, ai-agents, deep-learning, generative-ai.
- When you seek comprehensive documentation and educational materials specifically focused on the nuance of prompt engineering techniques.

### Choose awesome-gpt-image-2 if…

- awesome-gpt-image-2 is primarily JavaScript; Prompt-Engineering-Guide is MDX.
- Tags unique to awesome-gpt-image-2: ai-image-generation, gpt-image-2, image-prompts, prompt-as-code.
- Also covers Computer Vision.

## When NOT to use Prompt-Engineering-Guide

- Avoid using if your focus is entirely on deep-learning frameworks without a need for detailed instructions or examples related to prompt crafting.
- Not suitable when you require tools that go beyond guiding materials, such as custom prompts or direct software plugins provided by competitors focused more on practical implementation over learning.

## When NOT to use awesome-gpt-image-2

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
