Usage

Format Utilities

The fmt object provides formatting functions useful for working with LLMs:

import { fmt } from 'llm-tools'

// Format multi-line strings by removing unnecessary indentation
const formatted = fmt.trim(`
    This is a multi-line string
      with some indentation
    that will be normalized
`)
// Result: "This is a multi-line string\n  with some indentation\nthat will be normalized"

// Convert multi-line strings to single line
const oneLine = fmt.oneLine(`
    This is a multi-line string
    that will become one line
`)
// Result: "This is a multi-line string that will become one line"

// Convert array of objects to TSV (Tab-Separated Values)
const data = [
  { name: 'John', age: 30 },
  { name: 'Jane', age: 25 }
]
const tsv = await fmt.asTSV(data)
// Result: "name\tage\nJohn\t30\nJane\t25"

Available Functions

fmt.trim(str: string): string

Formats a multi-line string by removing unnecessary indentation while preserving relative indentation between lines. Trims leading/trailing newlines from the entire string and trailing whitespace from each line. Empty or whitespace-only lines are preserved as empty lines.

Useful for formatting prompts and tool instructions.

fmt.oneLine(str: string): string

Converts a multi-line string into a single line by joining non-empty lines with spaces.

Useful for formatting tool instructions that need to be on one line.

fmt.asTSV(data: any[]): Promise<string>

Converts an array of objects to a string of tab-separated values (TSV). This is better than JSON for returning data to LLMs because it uses fewer tokens.
