Prompt

Defines prompts sent to AI language models.

A prompt is an ordered list of messages. Messages can use roles such as system, user, assistant, and tool, and their content can be split into typed parts such as text, files, reasoning, tool calls, tool results, and approval messages. This module helps build prompts, combine them, and convert raw input or response parts into the shared prompt shape.

Combinators

appendSystem

Added in v4.0.0 Source

Creates a new prompt with a leading system message. If the prompt already has a system message, the new message uses the provided content appended to the first existing system message's content; the original messages remain after it.

Signature

declare const appendSystem: {
  (content: string): (self: Prompt) => Prompt;
  (self: Prompt, content: string): Prompt;
};

concat

Added in v4.0.0 Source

Concatenates a prompt with additional raw input by concatenating messages.

Details

The returned prompt contains all messages from the original prompt followed by the provided raw input, preserving message order.

Signature

declare const concat: {
  (input: RawInput): (self: Prompt) => Prompt;
  (self: Prompt, input: RawInput): Prompt;
};

Creates a new prompt with a leading system message. If the prompt already has a system message, the new message uses the provided content prepended to the first existing system message's content; the original messages remain after it.

Signature

declare const prependSystem: {
  (content: string): (self: Prompt) => Prompt;
  (self: Prompt, content: string): Prompt;
};

setSystem

Added in v4.0.0 Source

Creates a new prompt from the specified prompt with the system message set to the specified text content.

Gotchas

This method removes and replaces any previous system message from the prompt.

Signature

declare const setSystem: {
  (content: string): (self: Prompt) => Prompt;
  (self: Prompt, content: string): Prompt;
};

Constructors

Constructs a new assistant message.

When to use

Use to add assistant-role prompt history or model responses.

Details

This is the role-specific wrapper around makeMessage("assistant", params).

Signature

declare function assistantMessage(
  params: MessageConstructorParams<AssistantMessage>,
): AssistantMessage;

empty

Added in v4.0.0 Source

An empty prompt with no messages.

Signature

declare const empty: Prompt;

filePart

Added in v4.0.0 Source

fromMessages

Added in v4.0.0 Source

Creates a Prompt from an array of messages.

Signature

declare function fromMessages(messages: readonly Array<Message>): Prompt
