Prompt engineering with Anthropic

In this example, you'll build a pipeline with Dagster that:

  • Takes an input question
  • Generates prompts to use with Anthropic
  • Validates outputs of AI models and passes outputs across assets

Prerequisites​

To follow the steps in this guide, you'll need:

  • Basic Python knowledge
  • Python 3.9+ installed on your system. For more information, see the Installation guide.

Step 1: Set up your Dagster environment​

First, set up a new Dagster project.

  1. Clone the the Dagster repo and navigate to the project:

    cd examples/docs_projects/project_prompt_eng

  2. Install the required dependencies with uv:

    uv sync

  3. Activate the virtual environment:

    source .venv/bin/activate

Step 2: Launch the Dagster webserver​

To make sure Dagster and its dependencies were installed correctly, navigate to the project root directory and start the Dagster webserver:
