New agentic tutor 'Prompt Coach' improves developer prompt engineering skills

A new paper introduces Prompt Coach, an agentic tutor designed to help software developers learn prompt engineering skills. This tool provides Socratic guidance within an IDE, evaluating prompt quality and offering targeted questions for self-correction based on the developer's codebase and LLM behavior. An initial study with 15 professional developers showed significant improvements in prompt-writing skills after a single 60-minute session, with participants reporting high trust and readiness for adoption.
