This chapter reframes prompting as a method for navigating complex, uncertain, and value-laden problems rather than merely generating answers. It defines complexity as a condition shaped by ambiguity, competing perspectives, and evolving constraints, requiring structured exploration rather than direct resolution. The discussion introduces creative prompting as a cognitive practice that supports ideation, analysis, and strategic thinking through interaction with language models. It examines the interplay between divergent and convergent prompting to expand possibilities and refine decisions. Advanced techniques such as Chain-of-Thought and modular prompting are presented as tools for structuring reasoning, improving transparency, and enabling iterative problem decomposition. The chapter further explores prompting for ambiguity, trade-offs, and negotiation, emphasizing the importance of surfacing competing values and stakeholder perspectives. Scenario-based and Socratic prompting are introduced as methods for foresight, ethical reflection, and deeper inquiry. Design prompting highlights the role of constraints in guiding practical, context-sensitive solutions. Prompt templates and evaluation rubrics are presented as reusable structures for systematic reasoning and quality assessment. Ultimately, the chapter positions creative prompting as a disciplined, reflective practice that enables more deliberate, inclusive, and ethically grounded decision-making.
