BTW based on the fact that the appendix is linked right after the phrase "well-designed prompt" you might expect that the appendix talks about how the prompt was created, iterated, tested -- but no. The appendix has the prompt (which is better than nothing) but nothing about why the authors are so confident that it is designed well.
