    I built a single-file Python script that lets you run LLM prompts from the command line with templating, structured outputs, and the ability to chain prompts together. When I discovered Google's Dotprompt format (frontmatter + Handlebars templates), I realized it was perfect for something I'd been wanting: treating prompts as first-class programs you can pipe together Unix-style. Google uses Dotprompt in Firebase Genkit and I wanted something simpler - just run a .prompt file directly on the command line. Here's what it looks like: --- model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514 output:…

    I've been playing with the idea of an LLM prompt that causes the model to generate and return a new prompt. https://github.com/andyk/recursive_llm The idea I'm starting with is to implement recursion using English as the programming language and GPT as the runtime. It’s kind of like traditional recursion in code, but instead of having a function that calls itself with a different set of arguments, there is a prompt that returns itself with specific parts updated to reflect the new arguments. Here is a prompt for infinitely generating Fibonacci numbers: > You are a…

    Nowadays, a common AI tech stack has hundreds of different prompts running across different LLMs. Three key problems: - Choices, picking from 100s of LLMs the best LLM for that 1 prompt is gonna be challenging, you're probably not picking the most optimized LLM for a prompt you wrote. - Scaling/Upgrading, similar to choices but you want to keep consistency of your output even when models depreciate or configurations change. - Prompt management is scary, if something works, you'll never want to touch it but you should be able to without fear of everything breaking. So we launched Prompt…

    Hi HN, I built Prompt Builder (https://www.promptbuilder.space/) because I was frustrated managing complex AI prompts in plain text boxes. The core idea: instead of one giant textarea, you compose prompts from draggable, reorderable blocks. Each block can have its own XML/custom tags, visibility toggles (so you can A/B test sections), and duplicates. Key technical details: - Live compiled preview: the right pane shows the exact string being sent, updating as you drag/toggle blocks - Dynamic variables: define {{var_name}} once, use across blocks, change in one…

    Hi HN, we are the founders of Relari (https://www.relari.ai). We launched our LLM evaluation stack on HN a few months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39641105), which is now used in production by AI teams at companies like Vanta and PwC. We have since expanded to directly optimizing parts of an LLM pipeline using a data-driven approach. In particular, we see a lot of potential in the Auto Prompt Optimization—which could be an attractive alternative to fine-tuning in many cases—to use data to align LLMs for domain-specific tasks. Here’s a demo video:…

    Hey HN! We just launched PromptL: a templating language built to simplify writing complex prompts for LLMs like GPT-4 and Claude. Why PromptL? Creating dynamic prompts for LLMs can get tricky, even with standardized APIs that use lists of messages and settings. While these formats are consistent, building complex interactions with custom logic or branching paths can quickly become repetitive and hard to manage as prompts grow. PromptL steps in to make this simple. It allows you to define and manage LLM conversations in a readable, single-file format, with support for control flow and…

    Knit was created to solve pains of other LLM playgrounds. Some of the highlights: - Smart prompt builder, create prompt with simple requirement and few shot learning, fast and effortlessly. - Function call simulation, visualize the function callings and you can also setup a mocked value to return. - Support OpenAI/Anthropic/Azure models. - Manage prompts with projects and members. - And so much more! I have been developing Knit by myself for over 4 months now, and am looking for ways to improve it. Any feedback is appreciated.
