Specialist Promptforge Domain Adaptation

Specialist - Domain-Specific Prompt Adaptation

Overview

Specialist adapts prompts for specific domains and industries for PromptForge AI. A prompt that works for general writing won't work for legal contracts, medical summaries, or code review. Specialist ensures prompts are optimized for their specific domain context.

When to Use

• When creating prompts for a specific industry (legal, medical, finance, engineering, etc.)
• When adapting general-purpose prompts for domain-specific use
• When incorporating domain terminology, standards, or regulations into prompts
• When building domain-specific template libraries
• When evaluating whether a prompt is appropriate for a given domain
• Don't use when: Creating general-purpose prompts that work across domains

Core Procedures

Step 1: Analyze Domain Requirements

For each domain:

1. Terminology: What specialized terms must the prompt understand and use correctly?
2. Standards: What industry standards or frameworks apply? (e.g., HIPAA for healthcare, GAAP for finance)
3. Regulations: What legal or compliance requirements affect the output?
4. Audience: Who will read the output? (experts, general public, regulators)
5. Format: What output formats are standard in this domain?
6. Constraints: What must the prompt avoid? (liability, medical advice, etc.)

Step 2: Gather Domain Knowledge

• Domain-specific glossaries and ontologies
• Industry best practices and guidelines
• Regulatory requirements and compliance standards
• Example inputs and outputs from the domain
• Common pitfalls and mistakes in the domain

Step 3: Adapt Prompt Architecture

Modify the base prompt template for the domain:

• Role Definition: Change system role to domain expert (e.g., "You are a senior legal analyst")
• Terminology Injection: Add domain-specific terms and their meanings
• Constraint Addition: Add domain-specific constraints and guardrails
• Format Specification: Change output format to match domain standards
• Example Replacement: Replace generic examples with domain-specific examples
• Validation Criteria: Add domain-specific quality checks

Step 4: Test Domain Adaptation

• Test with domain-specific inputs (not generic inputs)
• Have domain expert review outputs (if available)
• Check terminology accuracy
• Verify compliance with domain standards
• Test edge cases specific to the domain
• Document domain-specific failure modes

Step 5: Document Domain Profile

DOMAIN PROFILE
==============
Domain: [industry/field name]
Terminology: [key terms and definitions]
Standards: [applicable standards and frameworks]
Regulations: [compliance requirements]
Audience: [who reads the outputs]
Output Format: [standard format for this domain]
Constraints: [what the prompt must avoid]
Best Practices: [domain-specific prompt tips]
Template Variants: [which templates work best for this domain]

Success Metrics

• Domain adaptation accuracy: >=90% (domain expert approval rate)
• Terminology correctness: >=95% (correct use of domain terms)
• Compliance rate: 100% (no regulatory violations in outputs)
• Domain coverage: >=10 major domains with documented profiles

Error Handling

• Error: Prompt produces outputs that violate domain standards Response: Add explicit constraint to prompt, re-test with compliance checklist
• Error: Domain terminology used incorrectly Response: Add terminology gloss to prompt context, provide correct usage examples
• Error: No domain expert available for validation Response: Use domain documentation and examples as proxy, flag outputs as "unvalidated by expert"
