@promptbook/node@promptbook/node is one part of the promptbook ecosystem.To install this package, run:
# Install entire promptbook ecosystem
npm i ptbk
# Install just this package to save space
npm i @promptbook/node
Core of the library for Node.js runtime, it contains the main logic for promptbooks which uses filesystem.
💡 This package does not make sense on its own, look at all promptbook packages or just install all by
npm i ptbk
Rest of the documentation is common for entire promptbook ecosystem:
When you have a simple, single prompt for ChatGPT, GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Llama 2, or whatever, it doesn't matter how it is integrated. Whether it's the direct calling of a REST API, using the SDK, hardcoding the prompt in the source code, or importing a text file, the process remains the same.
If you need something more advanced or want to extend the capabilities of LLMs, you generally have three ways to proceed:
In any of these situations, but especially in (3), the Promptbook library can make your life easier and make orchestraror for your prompts.
Prompt book markdown file (or .ptbk.md file) is document that describes a pipeline - a series of prompts that are chained together to form somewhat reciepe for transforming natural language input.

This library is divided into several packages, all are published from single monorepo. You can install all of them at once:
npm i ptbk
Or you can install them separately:

Different levels of abstraction. OpenAI library is for direct use of OpenAI API. This library is for a higher level of abstraction. It is for creating prompt templates and promptbooks that are independent of the underlying library, LLM model, or even LLM provider.
Langchain is primarily aimed at ML developers working in Python. This library is for developers working in javascript/typescript and creating applications for end users.
We are considering creating a bridge/converter between these two libraries.
GPTs are chat assistants that can be assigned to specific tasks and materials. But they are still chat assistants. Promptbooks are a way to orchestrate many more predefined tasks to have much tighter control over the process. Promptbooks are not a good technology for creating human-like chatbots, GPTs are not a good technology for creating outputs with specific requirements.
If you use raw SDKs, you just put prompts in the sourcecode, mixed in with typescript, javascript, python or whatever programming language you use.
If you use promptbooks, you can store them in several places, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:
As source code, typically git-committed. In this case you can use the versioning system and the promptbooks will be tightly coupled with the version of the application. You still get the power of promptbooks, as you separate the concerns of the prompt-engineer and the programmer.
As data in a database In this case, promptbooks are like posts / articles on the blog. They can be modified independently of the application. You don't need to redeploy the application to change the promptbooks. You can have multiple versions of promptbooks for each user. You can have a web interface for non-programmers to create and modify promptbooks. But you lose the versioning system and you still have to consider the interface between the promptbooks and the application (= input and output parameters).
In a configuration in environment variables. This is a good way to store promptbooks if you have an application with multiple deployments and you want to have different but simple promptbooks for each deployment and you don't need to change them often.
A single promptbook can be written for several (human) languages at once. However, we recommend that you have separate promptbooks for each language.
In large language models, you will get better results if you have prompts in the same language as the user input.
The best way to manage this is to have suffixed promptbooks like write-website-content.en.ptbk.md and write-website-content.cs.ptbk.md for each supported language.
