Overview

GenAIScript are JavaScript files named as *.genai.mjs, or TypeScript files named as *.genai.mts, with a prompt creation engine designed by LLM prompting.

shorten.genai.mjs

script({
    title: "Shorten", // displayed in UI and Copilot Chat
    // also displayed but grayed out:
    description:
        "A prompt that shrinks the size of text without losing meaning",
})

// but the variable is appropriately delimited
const file = def("FILE", env.files)

// this appends text to the prompt
$`Shorten ${file}. Limit changes to minimum.`

Script files

• GenAIScript will detect any file matching *.genai.mjs, *.genai.js, *.genai.mts in your workspace.
• GenAIScript files can be placed anywhere in your workspace; but the extension will place them in a genaisrc folder by default.
• .genai.mjs use module JavaScript syntax and support imports.
• .genai.js are eval-ed and do not support imports.
• .genai.mts are TypeScript module files and support imports, including dynamic imports of other TypeScript files.

• Directory/genaisrc

  • jsconfig.json // TypeScript compiler configuration
  • genaiscript.d.ts // TypeScript definitions
  • myscript.genai.mjs // your script!
  • …

• system.*.genai.mjs are considered system prompt templates and are unlisted by default.
