Five sharp-edged, solid-colored squares—red, blue, green, yellow, and purple—are evenly lined up in a row on a plain field, designed in minimal, flat 8-bit style with no background, text, people, gradients, or shadows, and sized at 128 by 128 pixels.

Response Priming

It is possible to provide the start of the LLM response (assistant message) in the script. This allows steering the answer of the LLM to a specific syntax or format.

Use assistant function to provide the assistant text.

$`List 5 colors. Answer with a JSON array. Do not emit the enclosing markdown.`

// help the LLM by starting the JSON array syntax
// in the assistant response
assistant(`[`)

How does it work?

Internally when invoking the LLM, an additional message is added to the query as if the LLM had generated this content.

{
  "messages": [
    ...,
    {
      "role": "assistant",
      "content": "[\n"
    }
  ]
}
