Prompt Templates with arguments

[secondtruth]

This proposal introduces the concept of Prompt Templates, leveraging Handlebars or a similiar template engine, with the ability to invoke the templates with arguments. This feature aims to add a new layer of flexibility to Chatbot UI by allowing users to use their prompts in a more dynamic way.

Suggestions and potential improvements of this proposal are always very welcome!

Examples

Prompt: words-starting-with

Find {{#if args[1]}}{{args[1]}}{{else}}5{{/if}} words starting with {{args[0]}}"

Usage examples:

• /words-starting-with a
• /words-starting-with b, 3

Prompt: greet

My name is {{user.name}} and the current time is: {{system.time}}. Please greet me in a creative way.

Usage example:

• /greet a

UI/UX

• In the prompt input field, arguments could be displayed like in Discord when using slash-commands.

  

• Various types of argument inputs could be implemented: short text, long text (textarea), select box

Future Proposal: Dynamic Prompts

In building upon the previous feature concept, a future enhancement is proposed to allow prompt templates to trigger API requests, thereby enabling completely dynamic prompt generation based on external data or services. This would increase the versatility and interactivity of the prompts.

Example

Prompt: do-request

Configuration (similiar to Tool Schemas):

{
  "url": "https://example.com/script",
  "method": "post",
  "datatype": "json",
  "data": {
    "x": "{{args[0]}}",
    "y": "{{args[1]}}"
  },
  "result": {
    "datatype": "json",
    "path": "result.prompt_text",
    "templated": true
  }
}

Usage example:

• /do-request 1, 2
