Looks more like science here. Run a bunch of experiments and see which does better.
But literally the first sentence of the readme is "Prompt engineering is kind of like alchemy."

That's empiricism. Scientific method implies formulating falsifiable theoretical claims, producing meaningful analysis of experimental conditions, publishing peer-reviewed and reproducible results.
You're trying to correct people on a subject you know nothing about.

Science would be replicable, ie demonstrate that this particular approach to prompt writing yields better prompts than some baseline prompt writing approach across an array of different problems.
But these models are changing literally every day, so there's no fixed thing to reveal.
So no one will be able to reproduce anything at all.
This makes all this "engineering" pretty ridiculous in my eyes, it's literally for one models bizarre emergent properties.
