zero-shot is a single prompt (maybe with additional context in the form of files.)

few-shot is providing a few examples to steer the LLM

multi-shot is a longer cycle of prompts and refinement

I've been calling good results from a single prompt "single-shot." Is this not right?

No as you could have multiple examples of expected output in single prompt. You should just "ask" - that's zero shot. If you "ask + provide" examples then you are in the n+1 shot realm. But I suppose terminology is shifting from this...

This is one-shot.

if you had one-shot

or one opportunity
