Creating the Prompt ● Collect context ● Rank context ● Trim context ● Assembling Prompt
In context of Github copilot Creating the Prompt: Copilot Code Completion● Collect context – current document, open tabs, symbols, file path ● Rank context – file path → current document → open tabs → symbols ● Trim context – drop open tab snippets; truncate current document ● Assembling Prompt
Creating the Prompt: Copilot Chat ● Collect context: ○ References – files, snippets, issues, that users attach or tools produce ○ Prior messages ● Rank, Trim and Assemble: ○ must fit: ■ system message ■ function definitions (if we plan to use them) ■ user's most recent message ○ fit if possible: ■ all the function calls and evals that follow ■ the references that belong to each message ■ historic messages (most recent being most important) ○ fallback to no-function usage if we can't fit with (causes Assistant to respond and turn to complete)
Tips for Defining Tools ● Don't have "too many" tools - look for evidence of collisions ● Name tools simply and clearly (and in typeScript format?) ● Don't copy/paste your API - keep arguments simple and few ● Keep function and arg descriptions short and consider what the model knows ○ It probably understands public documentation. ○ It doesn't know about internal company acronyms. ● More on arguments ○ Nest arguments don't retain descriptions ○ You can use enum and default, but not minimum, maximum… ● Skill output – don't include extra "just-in-case" content ● Skill errors – when reasonable, send errors to model (validation errors)
