Prompting
Prompting is the means by which you can:
- Instruct the LLM how to behave and respond
- Specify the conversational tone the agent should adopt
- Specify the identity of the agent (name, role etc.)
The intention of this section is not to go into detail on LLM prompting and prompt engineering but to explain how iostack can ease the management of consistent prompting across an entire agent while supporting specialization of the prompting as required for each stage.
For more information on effective prompt engineering, a Google search will result in an almost endless list of suggestions. You might pay close attention to OpenAI’s or Anthropic’s prompting guides.
In general, all LLM prompt engineering guidance is applicable within iostack agents.
