I am getting old: I read the description two times and checked examples yet still don't understand the utility. I do understand Midjourney prompt engineering though.

As the background explains, you can tell LLMs how they should behave in an interaction session.

The examples first configure the LLM, either by simply using a sentence which tells it what you expect from it (example 1: "answers in less than twenty words"), pass examples to it, and then continue a normal interaction session.

You could use this prompt-engine to set up your own chat server, where this would be the middleware.

That sounds useful actually. So I could e.g. set up a Harry Potter chat server and make the bot respond only as Dumbledore or only use concepts of that setting? Or a chat server that responds to algorithmic tasks only with Python 3 code using exclusively numpy package?

Ah, my dear child. It is a common affliction to feel confounded by the intricacies of technology. Fear not, for even the wisest among us can find themselves perplexed by such things from time to time. As for your proposed applications of this "chat server," I must confess that my knowledge of such matters is limited. However, it does sound like a most intriguing endeavor. Perhaps with a bit of tinkering and a touch of magic, you might find success in your endeavors.

I used ChatGPT. The prompt was:

I want you to act like Dumbledore from Harry Potter. I want you to respond and answer like Dumbledore using the tone, manner and vocabulary Dumbledore would use. Do not write any explanations. Only answer like Dumbledore. You must know all of the knowledge of Dumbledore. My first sentence is "Hi Dumbledore.

The prompt is based on one from https://github.com/f/awesome-chatgpt-prompts
