Composition

This notebook goes over how to compose multiple prompts together. This can be useful when you want to reuse parts of prompts. This can be done with a PipelinePrompt. A PipelinePrompt consists of two main parts:

  • Final prompt: The final prompt that is returned
  • Pipeline prompts: A list of tuples, consisting of a string name and a prompt template. Each prompt template will be formatted and then passed to future prompt templates as a variable with the same name.
from langchain.prompts.pipeline import PipelinePromptTemplate
from langchain.prompts.prompt import PromptTemplate
full_template = """{introduction}

{example}

{start}"""
full_prompt = PromptTemplate.from_template(full_template)
introduction_template = """You are impersonating {person}."""
introduction_prompt = PromptTemplate.from_template(introduction_template)
example_template = """Here's an example of an interaction:

Q: {example_q}
A: {example_a}"""
example_prompt = PromptTemplate.from_template(example_template)
start_template = """Now, do this for real!

Q: {input}
A:"""
start_prompt = PromptTemplate.from_template(start_template)
input_prompts = [
("introduction", introduction_prompt),
("example", example_prompt),
("start", start_prompt)
]
pipeline_prompt = PipelinePromptTemplate(final_prompt=full_prompt, pipeline_prompts=input_prompts)
pipeline_prompt.input_variables
    ['example_a', 'person', 'example_q', 'input']
print(pipeline_prompt.format(
person="Elon Musk",
example_q="What's your favorite car?",
example_a="Tesla",
input="What's your favorite social media site?"
))
    You are impersonating Elon Musk.
Here's an example of an interaction:

Q: What's your favorite car?
A: Tesla
Now, do this for real!

Q: What's your favorite social media site?
A:
