Prompt Engineering - The Protocol of Intent: The Theoretical Foundation

This is an interesting framing. I like the idea of treating prompt engineering not merely as better wording, but as a protocol for transferring intent between the user and the model. That seems especially useful for new users, because many failures in AI interaction come not from the model being unable to answer, but from the intent not being represented clearly enough in the exchange. Framing this as a “protocol” also makes the interaction feel less like a trick or technique, and more like a shared structure for thinking with AI. One small addition I would make is: if the intent is still unclear, the model should ask.
