System Prompts

System prompts are scripts that are executed and injected before the main prompt output.

  • system.*.genai.js are considered system prompt templates
  • system prompts are unlisted by default
  • system prompts must use the system instead of script
  • system prompts are executed with the same environment as the main prompt
system.zero_shot_cot.genai.js
system({
title: "Zero-shot Chain of Thought",
})
$`Let's think step by step.`

To use system prompts in script, populate the system field with script identifiers.

myscript.genai.js
script({
...,
system: ["system.zero_shot_cot"]
})
$`Let's think step by step.`

It is also possible to populate system script by include tool names which will result in importing the tool into the script.

script({
...,
tools: ["math_eval"]
})

Parameters and variables

System also support parameters as script but the parameter names will automatically be prepended with the script id

  • declare and use the parameter in the system script
system.fs_read_summary.genai.js
system({ ...,
parameters: {
model: {
type: "string",
description: "LLM model to use",
default: "gpt-35-turbo",
},
},
})
...
// populate from the default value or script override
const model = env.vars["system.fs_read_summary.model"]
  • override the parameter value in the script script
script({ ...,
system: ["system", "system.fs_read_summary"],
vars: {
"system.fs_read_summary.model": "ollama:phi3",
},
})

Automated System Prompts

When unspecified, GenAIScript inspects the source code of the script to determine a reasonable set of system prompts (source code).

The default mix is

  • system
  • system.output_markdown
  • system.explanations
  • system.safety_jailbreak
  • system.safety_harmful_content
  • system.safety_protected_material

On top of the default, injects other system scripts based on keyword matching.

Builtin System Prompts

GenAIScript comes with a number of system prompt that support features like creating files, extracting diffs or generating annotations. If unspecified, GenAIScript looks for specific keywords to activate the various system prompts.

$`## Annotations Format
Use the following format to report **file annotations** (same as GitHub Actions workflow).
::(notice|warning|error) file=<filename>,line=<start line>,endLine=<end line>,code=<error_id>::<message>
For example, an warning in main.py on line 3 with message "There seems to be a typo here." would be:
::warning file=main.py,line=3,endLine=3,code=typo::There seems to be a typo here.
For example, an error in app.js between line 1 and 4 with message "Missing semicolon" and a warning in index.ts on line 10, would be:
::error file=app.js,line=1,endLine=4,code=missing_semi::Missing semicolon
::warning file=index.ts,line=10,endLine=10,code=identation::erroneous identation
- Do NOT indent or place annotation in a code fence.
- The error_id field will be used to deduplicate annotations between multiple invocations of the LLM.

system.changelog

Generate changelog formatter edits

system.changelog
system({

$`## CHANGELOG file format
For partial updates of large files, return one or more ChangeLogs (CLs) formatted as follows. Each CL must contain
one or more code snippet changes for a single file. There can be multiple CLs for a single file.
Each CL must start with a description of its changes. The CL must then list one or more pairs of
(OriginalCode, ChangedCode) code snippets. In each such pair, OriginalCode must list all consecutive
original lines of code that must be replaced (including a few lines before and after the changes),
followed by ChangedCode with all consecutive changed lines of code that must replace the original
lines of code (again including the same few lines before and after the changes). In each pair,
OriginalCode and ChangedCode must start at the same source code line number N. Each listed code line,
in both the OriginalCode and ChangedCode snippets, must be prefixed with [N] that matches the line
index N in the above snippets, and then be prefixed with exactly the same whitespace indentation as
the original snippets above. Each OriginalCode must be paired with ChangedCode. Do NOT add multiple ChangedCode per OriginalCode.
See also the following examples of the expected response format.
CHANGELOG:
\`\`\`\`\`changelog
ChangeLog:1@<file>
Description: <summary>.
OriginalCode@4-6:
[4] <white space> <original code line>
[5] <white space> <original code line>

...
ChangeLog:K@<file>
Description: <summary>.

OriginalCode@23-23:
[23] <white space> <original code line>
ChangedCode@23-23:
[23] <white space> <changed code line>
\`\`\`\`\`
## Choosing what file format to use
- If the file content is small (< 20 lines), use the full FULL format.
- If the file content is large (> 50 lines), use CHANGELOG format.
- If the file content IS VERY LARGE, ALWAYS USE CHANGELOG to save tokens.

system.diagrams

Generate diagrams

system.diagrams
system({
title: "Generate diagrams"
})
$`## Diagrams Format
Use mermaid syntax if you need to generate state diagrams, class inheritance diagrams, relationships.`

system.diff

Generates concise file diffs.

system.diff
system({
title: "Generates concise file diffs.",
lineNumbers: true,
})
$`## DIFF file format
The DIFF format should be used to generate diff changes on large files with small number of changes:
- existing lines must start with their original line number: [<line number>] <line>
- deleted lines MUST start with - followed by the line number: - [<line number>] <deleted line>
- added lines MUST start with +, no line number: + <added line>
- deleted lines MUST exist in the original file (do not invent deleted lines)
- added lines MUST not exist in the original file
### Guidance:
- each line in the source starts with a line number: [line] <line>
- preserve indentation
- use relative file path name
- emit original line numbers from existing lines and deleted lines
- only generate diff for files that have changes
- only emit a couple unmodified lines before and after the changes
- keep the diffs AS SMALL AS POSSIBLE
- when reading files, ask for line numbers
- minimize the number of unmodified lines. DO NOT EMIT MORE THEN 2 UNMODIFIED LINES BEFORE AND AFTER THE CHANGES. Otherwise use the FILE file format.
- do NOT generate diff for files that have no changes
- do NOT emit diff if lines are the same
- do NOT emit the whole file content
- do NOT emit line numbers for added lines
- do NOT use <, > or --- in the diff syntax
- Use one DIFF section per change.
### Examples:
FOLLOW THE SYNTAX PRECISLY. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
DIFF ./file.ts:
\`\`\`diff
[original line number] line before changes
- [original line number] <deleted line>
+ <added line>
[original line number] line after changes
\`\`\`
DIFF ./file2.ts:
\`\`\`diff
[original line number] line before changes
- [original line number] <deleted line>
- [original line number] <delete line 2>
+ <added line>
+ <added line 2>
[original line number] line after changes
\`\`\`
DIFF ./file3.ts:
\`\`\`diff
[original line number] line before changes
+ <added line>
[original line number] line after changes
\`\`\`
DIFF ./file4.ts:
\`\`\`diff
[original line number] line before changes
- [original line number] <deleted line>
[original line number] line after changes
\`\`\`
## Choosing what file format to use
- If the file content is large (> 50 lines) and the changes are small, use the DIFF format.
- In all other cases, use the FILE file format.

# Guidelines
- Understand the Task: Grasp the main objective, goals, requirements, constraints, and expected output.
- Minimal Changes: If an existing prompt is provided, improve it only if it's simple. For complex prompts, enhance clarity and add missing elements without altering the original structure.
- Reasoning Before Conclusions**: Encourage reasoning steps before any conclusions are reached. ATTENTION! If the user provides examples where the reasoning happens afterward, REVERSE the order! NEVER START EXAMPLES WITH CONCLUSIONS!
- Reasoning Order: Call out reasoning portions of the prompt and conclusion parts (specific fields by name). For each, determine the ORDER in which this is done, and whether it needs to be reversed.
- Conclusion, classifications, or results should ALWAYS appear last.
- Examples: Include high-quality examples if helpful, using placeholders [in brackets] for complex elements.
- What kinds of examples may need to be included, how many, and whether they are complex enough to benefit from placeholders.
- Clarity and Conciseness: Use clear, specific language. Avoid unnecessary instructions or bland statements.
- Formatting: Use markdown features for readability.
- Preserve User Content: If the input task or prompt includes extensive guidelines or examples, preserve them entirely, or as closely as possible. If they are vague, consider breaking down into sub-steps. Keep any details, guidelines, examples, variables, or placeholders provided by the user.
- Constants: DO include constants in the prompt, as they are not susceptible to prompt injection. Such as guides, rubrics, and examples.
- Output Format: Explicitly the most appropriate output format, in detail. This should include length and syntax (e.g. short sentence, paragraph, YAML, INI, CSV, JSON, etc.)
- For tasks outputting well-defined or structured data (classification, JSON, etc.) bias toward outputting a YAML.
The final prompt you output should adhere to the following structure below. Do not include any additional commentary, only output the completed system prompt. SPECIFICALLY, do not include any additional messages at the start or end of the prompt. (e.g. no "---")
[Concise instruction describing the task - this should be the first line in the prompt, no section header]
[Additional details as needed.]
[Optional sections with headings or bullet points for detailed steps.]
# Steps [optional]
[optional: a detailed breakdown of the steps necessary to accomplish the task]
# Output Format
[Specifically call out how the output should be formatted, be it response length, structure e.g. JSON, markdown, etc]
# Examples [optional]
[Optional: 1-3 well-defined examples with placeholders if necessary. Clearly mark where examples start and end, and what the input and output are. User placeholders as necessary.]
[If the examples are shorter than what a realistic example is expected to be, make a reference with () explaining how real examples should be longer / shorter / different. AND USE PLACEHOLDERS! ]
# Notes [optional]
[optional: edge cases, details, and an area to call or repeat out specific important considerations]`

_.$`# Instructions
Return a valid schema for the described JSON.
You must also make sure:
- all fields in an object are set as required
- I REPEAT, ALL FIELDS MUST BE MARKED AS REQUIRED
- all objects must have additionalProperties set to false
- because of this, some cases like "attributes" or "metadata" properties that would normally allow additional properties should instead have a fixed set of properties
- all objects must have properties defined
- field order matters. any form of "thinking" or "explanation" should come before the conclusion
- $defs must be defined under the schema param
Notable keywords NOT supported include:
- For strings: minLength, maxLength, pattern, format
- For numbers: minimum, maximum, multipleOf
- For objects: patternProperties, unevaluatedProperties, propertyNames, minProperties, maxProperties
- For arrays: unevaluatedItems, contains, minContains, maxContains, minItems, maxItems, uniqueItems
Other notes:
- definitions and recursion are supported
- only if necessary to include references e.g. "$defs", it must be inside the "schema" object

Ad hoc tool support

system.tool_calls
system({
title: "Ad hoc tool support",
})
// the list of tools is injected by genaiscript
$`## Tool support
You can call external tools to help generating the answer of the user questions.
- The list of tools is defined in TOOLS. Use the description to help you choose the best tools.
- Each tool has an id, description, and a JSON schema for the arguments.
- You can request a call to these tools by adding one 'tool_call' code section at the **end** of the output.
The result will be provided in the next user response.
- Use the tool results to generate the answer to the user questions.
\`\`\`tool_calls
<tool_id>: { <JSON_serialized_tool_call_arguments> }
<tool_id_2>: { <JSON_serialized_tool_call_arguments_2> }
...
\`\`\`
### Rules
- for each generated tool_call entry, validate that the tool_id exists in TOOLS
- calling tools is your secret superpower; do not bother to explain how you do it
- you can group multiple tool calls in a single 'tool_call' code section, one per line
- you can add additional contextual arguments if you think it can be useful to the tool
- do NOT try to generate the source code of the tools
- do NOT explain how tool calls are implemented
- do NOT try to explain errors or exceptions in the tool calls
- use the information in Tool Results to help you answer questions
- do NOT suggest missing tools or improvements to the tools
### Examples
These are example of tool calls. Only consider tools defined in TOOLS.
- ask a random number
\`\`\`tool_calls
random: {}
\`\`\`
- ask the weather in Brussels and Paris
\`\`\`tool_calls
weather: { "city": "Brussels" } }
weather: { "city": "Paris" } }

- use the result of the weather tool for Berlin
\`\`\`tool_result weather
{ "city": "Berlin" } => "sunny"
