Prompt Coach: An Empirical Evaluation of an Agentic Tutor for Learning Prompt Engineering in Software Development
Prompt engineering has emerged as a critical yet undertaught skill for software developers, one that traditional learning approaches are ill-equipped to support given its evolving, interactive, and context-dependent nature. In this paper, we introduce Prompt Coach (PC), an agentic tutor that helps developers learn how to craft high-quality code-generation prompts through Socratic guidance embedded in-flow within their IDE. PC evaluates prompt quality across multiple dimensions and surfaces targe
