๐Ÿ“ฆ Package @promptbook/utils

To install this package, run:

# Install entire promptbook ecosystem
npm i ptbk

# Install just this package to save space
npm install @promptbook/utils

Utility functions used in the library but also useful for individual use in preprocessing and postprocessing LLM inputs and outputs

Here is a overview of the functions which are exported from the @promptbook/utils package and can be used in your own projects:

Postprocessing

Sometimes you need to postprocess the output of the LLM model, every postprocessing function that is available through POSTPROCESS command in promptbook is exported from @promptbook/utils. You can use:

Very often you will use unwrapResult, which is used to extract the result you need from output with some additional information:

import { unwrapResult } from '@promptbook/utils';

unwrapResult('Best greeting for the user is "Hi Pavol!"'); // 'Hi Pavol!'

Templating

There is a function replaceParameters which is used to replace the parameters in given template optimized to LLM prompt templates.

import { replaceParameters } from '@promptbook/utils';

replaceParameters('Hello, {name}!', { name: 'world' }); // 'Hello, world!'

And also multiline templates with blockquotes

import { replaceParameters, spaceTrim } from '@promptbook/utils';

replaceParameters(
    spaceTrim(`
        Hello, {name}!

        > {answer}
    `),
    {
        name: 'world',
        answer: spaceTrim(`
            I'm fine,
            thank you!

            And you?
        `),
    },
);

// Hello, world!
//
// > I'm fine,
// > thank you!
// >
// > And you?

Counting

Theese functions are usefull to count stats about the input/output in human-like terms not tokens and bytes, you can use countCharacters, countLines, countPages, countParagraphs, countSentences, countWords

import { countWords } from '@promptbook/utils';

console.log(countWords('Hello, world!')); // 2

Splitting

Splitting functions are similar to counting but they return the splitted parts of the input/output, you can use splitIntoCharacters, splitIntoLines, splitIntoPages, splitIntoParagraphs, splitIntoSentences, splitIntoWords

import { splitIntoWords } from '@promptbook/utils';

console.log(splitIntoWords('Hello, world!')); // ['Hello', 'world']

Normalization

Normalization functions are used to put the string into a normalized form, you can use kebab-case PascalCase SCREAMING_CASE snake_case kebab-case

import { normalizeTo } from '@promptbook/utils';

console.log(normalizeTo['kebab-case']('Hello, world!')); // 'hello-world'
  • There are more normalization functions like capitalize, decapitalize, removeDiacritics,...
  • Theese can be also used as postprocessing functions in the POSTPROCESS command in promptbook

Misc

See also the documentation for all the functions in the @promptbook/utils package, every function is documented by jsdoc, typed by typescript and tested by jest.

assertsExecutionSuccessful, checkExpectations, executionReportJsonToString, isPassingExpectations, isValidJsonString, parseNumber


Rest of the documentation is common for entire promptbook ecosystem:

๐Ÿค The Promptbook Whitepaper

If you have a simple, single prompt for ChatGPT, GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Llama 3, or whatever, it doesn't matter how you integrate it. Whether it's calling a REST API directly, using the SDK, hardcoding the prompt into the source code, or importing a text file, the process remains the same.

But often you will struggle with the limitations of LLMs, such as hallucinations, off-topic responses, poor quality output, language and prompt drift, word repetition repetition repetition repetition or misuse, lack of context, or just plain w๐’†๐ขrd resp0nses. When this happens, you generally have three options:

  1. Fine-tune the model to your specifications or even train your own.
  2. Prompt-engineer the prompt to the best shape you can achieve.
  3. Orchestrate multiple prompts in a pipeline to get the best result.

In all of these situations, but especially in 3., the โœจ Promptbook can make your life waaaaaaaaaay easier.

  • Separates concerns between prompt-engineer and programmer, between code files and prompt files, and between prompts and their execution logic. For this purpose, it introduces a new language called the ๐Ÿ’™ Book.
  • Book allows you to focus on the business logic without having to write code or deal with the technicalities of LLMs.
  • Forget about low-level details like choosing the right model, tokens, context size, temperature, top-k, top-p, or kernel sampling. Just write your intent and persona who should be responsible for the task and let the library do the rest.
  • We have built-in orchestration of pipeline execution and many tools to make the process easier, more reliable, and more efficient, such as caching, compilation+preparation, just-in-time fine-tuning, expectation-aware generation, agent adversary expectations, and more.
  • Sometimes even the best prompts with the best framework like Promptbook :) can't avoid the problems. In this case, the library has built-in anomaly detection and logging to help you find and fix the problems.
  • Versioning is build in. You can test multiple A/B versions of pipelines and see which one works best.
  • Promptbook is designed to use RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and other advanced techniques to bring the context of your business to generic LLM. You can use knowledge to improve the quality of the output.

๐Ÿ’™ Book language (for prompt-engineer)

Promptbook pipelines are written in markdown-like language called Book. It is designed to be understandable by non-programmers and non-technical people.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Packages (for developers)

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:

๐Ÿ”Œ Usage in Typescript / Javascript

โž•โž– When to use Promptbook?

โž• When to use

  • When you are writing app that generates complex things via LLM - like websites, articles, presentations, code, stories, songs,...
  • When you want to separate code from text prompts
  • When you want to describe complex prompt pipelines and don't want to do it in the code
  • When you want to orchestrate multiple prompts together
  • When you want to reuse parts of prompts in multiple places
  • When you want to version your prompts and test multiple versions
  • When you want to log the execution of prompts and backtrace the issues

โž– When not to use

  • When you have already implemented single simple prompt and it works fine for your job
  • When OpenAI Assistant (GPTs) is enough for you
  • When you need streaming (this may be implemented in the future, see discussion).
  • When you need to use something other than JavaScript or TypeScript (other languages are on the way, see the discussion)
  • When your main focus is on something other than text - like images, audio, video, spreadsheets (other media types may be added in the future, see discussion)
  • When you need to use recursion (see the discussion)
