@k-apps-io/llm-dsl

This is a DSL for interacting with a LLM. This paired with an implementation of LLM such as @k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt you can easily build out robust tasks requring input from a Natural Language Models like ChatGPT or any other.

Installation

npm install @k-apps-io/llm-dsl @k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt

Usage

Hello World

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { CODE_BLOCK_RULE, DSL, Locals, json, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

type ChatLocals = Locals & {
  languages: string[];
};

const chat = new DSL<Options, ChatLocals, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } )
} );

chat
  .rule( CODE_BLOCK_RULE )
  .prompt( {
    message: "Hello!"
  } )
  .response(({ response }) => {
    return new Promise<void>(( resolve, reject) => {
      // here you can access the response of the LLM and do what you like

      // to move onto the next stage, resolve the promise
      resolve();
    })
  })
  // send a follow up prompt to the LLM
  .prompt( {
    message: 'send me 3 progamming languages as a JSON array e.g ```json ["lang1", "lang2", "langN"]```',
    response_format: { type: "json_object" }
  } )
  .expect( json(), ( { response, chat: $chat } ) => new Promise<void>( ( resolve, reject ) => {
    // here we can access the json response and assign it to locals for later use
    $chat.locals.languages = $chat.locals.$blocks as string[];
    resolve();
  } ) )
  .promptForEach( ( { locals } ) => {
    // now we can use the languages provided by the response
    return locals.languages.map( language => {
      const message = `write me a hello world progamming in ${ language }`;
      return { message: message };
    } );
  } )
  // stream the responses to a handler, stdout() is provided OOTB as are others
  .stream( stdout() )
  .then( () => {
    console.log( "done" );
  } )
  .catch( error => {
    console.error( error );
  } );

Rules

a rule represents a specific instruction for the LLM and you to follow. These are prepared statements that will be included in the window and available for the LLM to review on subsequent prompts.

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { DSL, Locals, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

const chat = new DSL<Options, Locals, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } )
} );

chat
  .rule( {
    name: "Bob Uecker",
    requirement: "respond in the style of Bob Uecker, the Famous Radio Broadcaster and not so Fammous American League Baseball Player"
  } )
  .prompt( {
    message: "Uecke, give me a home run call"
  } )
  .stream( stdout() )
  .then( () => console.log( "done" ) )
  .catch( console.error );

Functions

In your DSL, you can define custom functions that the LLM may call, and the results will be returned as new Message object. This feature allows you to create custom logic and interactions within your conversation with the LLM.

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { DSL, localFileStorage, toCodeBlock, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

interface WeatherReport {
  temperature: number;
  unit: "Fahrenheit" | "Celsius";
  percipitation: string;
}
const chat = new DSL<Options, {}, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } )
} );

chat
  .function<{ unit?: "Fahrenheit" | "Celsius"; }>( {
    name: "getTheCurrentWeather",
    description: "helps the AI model determine the current weather",
    parameters: {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "unit": {
          "type": "string",
          "enum": [ "Fahrenheit", "Celsius" ]
        }
      }
    },
    func: ( { unit = "Fahrenheit" } ) => {
      return new Promise( ( resolve, reject ) => {
        const weather: WeatherReport = {
          temperature: unit === "Fahrenheit" ? 24 : 5,
          unit: unit,
          percipitation: "it's snowing"
        };
        resolve( {
          message: toCodeBlock( "json", weather )
        } );
      } );
    }
  } )
  .rule( {
    name: "Temperature",
    requirement: "all temperature readings must be in Celsius"
  } )
  .prompt( {
    message: "what's the weather like today?"
  } )
  .stream( stdout() )
  .then( ( $chat ) => {
    localFileStorage( { directory: __dirname, filename: "weatherReport", chat: $chat } );
    console.log( "done" );
  } )
  .catch( console.error );

Prompting

a prompt is the main form of interacting with the LLM, use this command to send a message and generate a response

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { DSL, Locals, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

type ChatLocals = Locals & {
  hint: string;
};
const chat = new DSL<Options, ChatLocals, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } )
} );

chat
  .setLocals( {
    hint: "what is something the bank has that could be used on the football field?"
  } )
  .prompt( {
    message: "Why did the football team go to the bank?"
  } )
  .prompt( ( { locals, chat: $chat } ) => {
    // a prompt can also be defined as a StageFunction with access to
    // the locals and the chat
    return {
      message: `here is a hint: ${ locals.hint }`
    };
  } )
  .stream( stdout() )
  .then( () => console.log( "done" ) )
  .catch( console.error );
    

response

response provides direct accesss the response of a prompt, it gives you control to review the response before continuing the pipeline.

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { DSL, Locals, toCodeBlock, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

type ChatLocals = Locals & {
  isChill: boolean;
  tasks: string[];
};
const chat = new DSL<Options, ChatLocals, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } )
} );

chat
  .prompt( {
    message: "finish the sentence 'one does not'"
  } )
  .response( ( { response, chat: $chat } ) => new Promise<void>( ( resolve, reject ) => {
    if ( response.content.includes( "Mordor" ) ) {
      $chat.locals = {
        isChill: true,
        tasks: []
      };
    } else {
      $chat.locals = {
        isChill: false,
        tasks: [ "shame for not watching LOTR", "grab some popcorn", "force LOTR" ]
      };
    }
    resolve();
  } ) )
  .prompt( ( { locals, chat: $chat } ) => {
    if ( locals.isChill ) {
      return {
        message: "great answer"
      };
    } else {
      return {
        message: `nope, wrong... ${ toCodeBlock( "json", { todos: $chat.locals.tasks } ) }`
      };
    }
  } )
  .stream( stdout() )
  .then( () => console.log( "done" ) )
  .catch( console.error );

expect

The expect function is another way to access the response of a prompt for response validation. When working with the LLM, you can use this command to define specific criteria that the response should meet. If these criteria are not met, you have the option to call reject("with your reason") to initiate a dispute resolution process. On the other hand, if the response aligns with your expectations, you can call resolve() to continue the pipeline.

This stage plays a pivotal role in ensuring that the Language Model's responses are in line with your desired outcomes. It serves as a valuable tool for quality control and enables the creation of custom interactions with the model. By setting clear expectations and handling responses accordingly, you can shape the behavior of the model to meet your specific needs.

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { DSL, Locals, json, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

interface Clubs extends Locals {
  clubs: {
    club: string;
    yardage: number;
  }[];
}
const chat = new DSL<Options, Clubs, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } )
} );
chat
  .prompt( {
    message: "please generate a JSON Array of golf clubs I could hit out of the ruff. This JSON array must structured as ```typescript {\noptions: { club: string; yardage: number; }[]\n}``` and be provided as a JSON code block",
    response_format: { type: "json_object" }
  } )
  .expect( json(), ( { locals, chat: $chat } ) => new Promise<void>( ( resolve, reject ) => {
    locals.clubs = locals.$blocks.options;
    /** todo validate that my current club is in my options */
    resolve();
  } ) )
  .stream( stdout() )
  .then( () => console.log( "done" ) )
  .catch( console.error );

json

json is a ResponseStage that will handle preparing any json code blocks as a usuable JSON value. As shown in the above example, you can call json() in your expect stage followed by one ore more of your own ResponseStage validators.

Dispute Resolution

When you call reject("with your reason"), this message results in a new prompt to the LLM. The response of that prompt is then evaluated against your expect stage until all validtors resovle or the max call stack is exceeded indicating a loop between the LLM and your expect stage.

The maxCallStack is a setting you can control; the default is 10

promptForEach

The promptForEach stage allows you to use an iterable e.g. a value in the chat locals to generate one or more prompts, each of which is executed sequentially. This function is particularly useful when you need to create multiple prompts dynamically based on contextual data.

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { DSL, Locals, json, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

interface Clubs extends Locals {
  clubs: {
    club: string;
    yardage: number;
  }[];
}
const chat = new DSL<Options, Clubs, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } )
} );
chat
  .prompt( {
    message: "please generate a JSON Array of golf clubs I could hit out of the ruff. This JSON array must structured as ```typescript {\noptions: { club: string; yardage: number; }[]\n}``` ",
    response_format: { type: "json_object" }
  } )
  .expect( json(), ( { locals, chat: $chat } ) => new Promise<void>( ( resolve, reject ) => {
    $chat.locals.clubs = locals.$blocks.options;
    resolve();
  } ) )
  .promptForEach( ( { locals } ) => {
    return locals.clubs.map( ( { club, yardage }, index ) => {
      return {
        message: `I expect the ruff to take about 40% off the distance of the club, what is the new yardarge for ${ club }?`
      };
    } );
  } )
  .prompt( {
    message: "I have 120y to the hole and I want to carry it 115y, which club should I use?"
  } )
  .prompt( {
    message: "would this be a full swing?"
  } )
  .prompt( {
    message: "I stuck it close, let's get some birds!",
  } )
  .stream( stdout() )
  .then( () => console.log( "done" ) )
  .catch( console.error );

branchForEach

branchForEach similary enables you to use an interable to generate a series of stages. The series is scoped to each stage between the branchForEach and the next join stage. Each series is executed sequentially.

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { writeFileSync } from "fs";
import { CODE_BLOCK_RULE, DSL, Locals, json, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

interface Cities extends Locals {
  cities: string[];
}
const chat = new DSL<Options, Cities, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } )
} );
chat
  .rule( CODE_BLOCK_RULE )
  .prompt( {
    message: "generate a list of cities implementing the ```typescript interface { cities: string[] }``` as a json code block",
    response_format: { type: "json_object" }
  } )
  .expect( json(), ( { chat: $chat } ) => new Promise<void>( ( resolve, reject ) => {
    chat.locals = ( $chat.locals.$blocks as any ).cities;
    resolve();
  } ) )
  .branchForEach( ( { locals } ) => {
    return locals.cities.map( city => {
      return {
        message: `consider the following city, ${ city } and pick a monument, artificat or famous person in this city we'll call this the target`
      };
    } );
  } )
  .prompt( {
    message: "consider the RPG table top game Sprawl, create a new mission in this city that involves our target"
  } )
  .response( ( { response } ) => {
    // write the response to a file
    return new Promise<void>( ( resolve, reject ) => {
      writeFileSync( `./sprawl-missions/${ response.id }.txt`, response.content );
      resolve();
    } );
  } )
  .join()
  .stream( stdout() )
  .then( () => {
    console.log( "done" );
  } )
  .catch( error => {
    console.error( error );
  } );

Locals

the chat locals is a shared space that enables the seamless exchange of information between different stages. It's a vital tool for tasks that involve gathering, adjusting, or retrieving data across multiple interactions. The chat locals ensures your conversation flows cohesively and empowers you to manage and transfer artifacts effortlessly.

To manage the chat locals, you can use commands like response and expect or call setLocals directly

To use the locals, checkout prompt, promptForEach and branchForEach

Window

The window is what we refer to as the messages available with a prompt for the LLM to review. This package comes with two implementations of Window as well as a means for you to implement your own.

main

main is the default and provides a robust means to manage the window. It considers the key, windowSize, and the Visibility of the message.

When the same key is set on multiple prompts only the latest in the window will be included; removing any prior messages with the same key from the prompt to the LLM.

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { DSL, Locals, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

const chat = new DSL<Options, Locals, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } )
} );

chat
  .prompt( {
    message: "Hello!"
  } )
  .prompt( {
    message: "tell me a joke",
    key: "2"
  } )
  // the prior prompt and response (joke) will not be included in this next call
  .prompt( {
    message: "tell me a joke",
    key: "2"
  } )
  .stream( stdout() )
  .then( () => console.log( "done" ) )
  .catch( console.error );

Using the windowSize setting, you can control the max amount of tokens allowed for the window. This gives you further control to keep the window smaller, reducing cost or larger if you don't like money.

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { DSL, Locals } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

const chat = new DSL<Options, Locals, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } ),
  settings: {
    // this will be the max size of the window for each prompt
    //  keeping it small can help reduce costs
    windowSize: 200 
  }
} );

Finallly, set the visibility on prompts to control whether a message should always be included, excluded or optionally included. Visibility.REQUIRED will ensure that these messages will always be in the window. Then relative to the windowSize this implementation will fill the remaining with messages that have visiblity of Visibility.OPTIONAL or Visibility.SYSTEM. The final option is Visibility.EXCLUDE which will never be included in the window.

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { DSL, Locals, Visibility, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

const chat = new DSL<Options, Locals, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } )
} );

chat
  .prompt( {
    message: "Hello!",
    visibility: Visibility.REQUIRED
  } )
  // the following prompt will be sent to the LLM
  .prompt( {
    message: "tell me a joke",
    visibility: Visibility.EXCLUDE
  } )
  // the prior prompt and response (joke) will not be included in this next call
  // b/c it's visibility is EXCLUDED which is now evaluated in the chat window
  .prompt( {
    message: "tell me a joke"
  } )
  .stream( stdout() )
  .then( () => console.log( "done" ) )
  .catch( console.error );

latest

latest is a simple implementation of Window which only includes at most n messages with your prompt to the LLM.

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { DSL, Locals, latest, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

const chat = new DSL<Options, Locals, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } ),
  window: latest( { n: 2 } )
} );

chat
  .prompt( {
    message: "Hello!"
  } )
  /**
   * do your thing
   */
  .stream( stdout() )
  .then( () => console.log( "done" ) )
  .catch( console.error );

custom

Of course, there may be a need for you to have more control over your window. This can be done by creating a function that implements Window and assign it to your DSL instance.

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { Chat, DSL, Locals, Metadata, Window } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

type MyMetadata = Metadata & {
  /**
   * define your custom metadata to store about the chat
   */
};

const myWindow: Window = ( { messages, tokenLimit, key } ) => {
  return messages.reduce( ( prev, curr ) => {
    prev.push( curr );
    return prev;
  }, [] as Chat<MyMetadata>[ "messages" ] );
};

const chat = new DSL<Options, Locals, MyMetadata>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } ),
  window: myWindow
} );

Storage

chats can be stored for later use; this requires a storage mechanism. This mechanism manages saving and retrieving chats from a data store. This package includes LocalStorage which will save the chats to the local file system and NoStorage which does not save any chats; NoStorage is the default.

LocalStorage

this is a simple mechanism that will store and load chats from the local file system.

the directory will not be created automatically

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { Chat, DSL, Locals, LocalStorage } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

const chat = new DSL<Options, Locals, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } ),
  storage: LocalStorage({ directory: process.env.CHATS_DIR })
} );

Custom

you can define your own storage mechanism by implementing the ChatStorage interface

import { ChatStorage } from "@k-apps.io/llm-dsl";

const MyAPI: ChatStorage = {
  getById: ( id: string ): Promise<Chat> => {
    return new Promise<Chat>( ( resolve, reject ) => {
      /**
       * TODO: retrieve an existing chat
       */
      reject();
    } );
  },
  save: ( chat: Chat ): Promise<void> => {
    return new Promise<void>( ( resolve, reject ) => {
      /**
       * TODO: save the chat
       */
      reject();
    } );
  }
}

const chat = new DSL({
  storage: MyAPI,
  // ...
});

pipeline

you can access and manage the pipeline execution with exit and moveTo.

exit

If for some reason you need the pipeline to stop executing call chat.exit(). This optionally accepts a Error as an argument which will be thrown after the current stage resolves.

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { DSL, Locals, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

const chat = new DSL<Options, Locals, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } )
} );
chat
  .clone()
  .prompt( {
    message: "hello!"
  }, "1" )
  .response( ( { chat } ) => {
    return new Promise<void>( ( resolve, reject ) => {
      chat.exit(); // clean exit
      resolve();
    } );
  } )
  // this prompt won't get called
  .prompt( {
    message: "goodbye."
  }, "3" )
  .response( ( { chat } ) => {
    return new Promise<void>( ( resolve, reject ) => {
      chat.exit(new Error("what went wrong"));
      resolve();
    } );
  } )
  .stream( stdout() )
  .then( () => {
    console.log( "done" );
  } )
  .catch( error => {
    console.error( error );
  } );

moveTo

chat.moveTo is a means to move / skip stages within the pipeline. To use this function the target stage's id must be known. It's recommened to set the stage id statically or with a deterministic value.

stage id's default to v4 uuids

import { ChatGPT, Options } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl-chatgpt";
import { DSL, Locals, stdout } from "@k-apps-io/llm-dsl";

require( "dotenv" ).config();

const chat = new DSL<Options, Locals, undefined>( {
  llm: new ChatGPT( { model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" } )
} );
chat
  .prompt( {
    message: "hello!"
  }, "1" )
  .response( ( { chat } ) => {
    return new Promise<void>( ( resolve, reject ) => {
      chat.moveTo( { id: "4" } );
      resolve();
    } );
  } )
  .prompt( {
    message: "love ya"
  }, "3" )
  .prompt( {
    message: "goodbye."
  }, "4" )
  .stream( stdout() )
  .catch( error => {
    console.error( error );
  } );
