Sometimes I feel like an LLM . I takes a little getting used to, but that is the same for any new language. And the Convo-Lang syntax highlighter helps to.
The triple questions marks (???) are used to enclose natural language that is evaluated by the LLM and is considered an inline-prompt since it is evaluated inline within a function / tool call. I wanted there to be a very clear delineation between the deterministic code that is executed by the Convo-Lang interpreter and the natural language that is evaluated by the LLM. I also wanted there to be as little need for escape characters as possible.
The content in the parentheses following the triple question marks is the header of the inline-prompt and consists of modifiers that control the context and response format of the LLM.
Here is a breakdown of the header of the first inline-prompt: (+ boolean /m last:3 task:Inspecting message)
----
- modifier: +
- name: Continue conversation
- description: Includes all previous messages of the current conversation as context
----
- modifier: /m
- name: Moderator Tag
- description: Wraps the content of the prompt in a <moderator> xml tag and injects instruction into the system describing how to handle moderator tags
----
- modifier: last:{number}
- name: Select Last
- description: Discards all but the last three messages from the current conversation when used with the (+) modifier
----
- modifier: task:{string}
- name: Task Description
- description: Used by UI components to display a message to the user describing what the LLM is doing.
