Meta Prompt

LangChain

元提示#

这是Noah Goodman (opens in a new tab)实现的 Meta-Prompt (opens in a new tab) 的LangChain实现,用于构建自我改进的Agent。

Meta-Prompt的关键思想是提示Agent反思其自身表现并修改自身指令。

以下是原博客文章 (opens in a new tab)的描述:

该Agent是一个简单的循环,开始时没有任何指令,并按照以下步骤执行:

与可能提供请求、指令或反馈的用户进行交谈。

在每次周期结束时,使用meta-prompt生成自我批评和新指令

Assistant has just had the below interactions with a User. Assistant followed their "system: Instructions" closely. Your job is to critique the Assistant's performance and then revise the Instructions so that Assistant would quickly and correctly respond in the future.
 
 
 
####
 
{hist}
 
####
 
 
 
Please reflect on these interactions.
 
 
 
You should first critique Assistant's performance. What could Assistant have done better? What should the Assistant remember about this user? Are there things this user always wants? Indicate this with "Critique: ...".
 
 
 
You should next revise the Instructions so that Assistant would quickly and correctly respond in the future. Assistant's goal is to satisfy the user in as few interactions as possible. Assistant will only see the new Instructions, not the interaction history, so anything important must be summarized in the Instructions. Don't forget any important details in the current Instructions! Indicate the new Instructions by "Instructions: ...".
 
 
 

重复执行。

该系统中唯一固定的指令(我称之为Meta-prompt)是管理Agent指令修订的元提示。Agent在周期之间没有任何记忆,除了每次修改的指令之外。尽管其简单性,该Agent可以随着时间的推移学习和自我改进,将有用的细节纳入其指令。

Setup#

我们定义了两条链。一条作为“助手”服务,另一条是一个“元链”,批评“助手”的表现并修改“助手”的指令。
