Zero Shot Prompting
The Large Language Model (LLM) these days are trained on huge datasets and are tuned to follow the instructions at hand, Large scale training makes this the model capable of answering the question at hand with no examples and steering this is called Zero Shot Prompting in Prompt Engineering
The Zero Shot Prompting directly instructs the model to complete a task at hand with no examples or additional information.

Instruction tuning can help improve the responses from the model for zero shot prompting.
Instruction tuning is essentially the concept of fine tuning models on datasets described via instructions.
Furthermore, reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) from human feedback has been adopted to scale instruction tuning to better suite the human preferences.
If Zero Shot Prompting doesn’t work you have to look at Few Shot Prompting
