# Prompts

An instruction resolves when it carries an operation, a reference, and a number. Drop one and it cannot.

## In this section

- [Writing Prompts Operation, reference, number. Drop one and it fails.](https://cadabrai.com/docs/prompts/writing-prompts/)
- [Prompt Library Copyable prompts by task, with what each produces.](https://cadabrai.com/docs/prompts/prompt-library/)

## Where to start

Read [writing a prompt that resolves](https://cadabrai.com/docs/prompts/writing-prompts/) once, then keep the [prompt library](https://cadabrai.com/docs/prompts/prompt-library/) open while you work.
