Prompt engineering was step one.
Workflow engineering is step two.
Why Prompts Aren’t Enough
A single prompt can generate:
-
text
But real use cases need:
-
text + image + structure
-
multiple steps
-
iteration
Example
You want a post:
-
Generate caption
-
Generate image
-
Generate hashtags
-
Combine
That’s not a prompt.
That’s a workflow.
The New Skill
Designing how AI tasks connect—not just what they say.
Where This Is Going
Tools will evolve from:
-
prompt boxes
To:
-
workflow engines
Start thinking in flows, not prompts.
That’s where the leverage is.
