config-multi-turn (Multiple Turn Conversation)

You can run this example with:

bash

npx promptfoo@latest init --example config-multi-turn
cd config-multi-turn

Usage

To get started, set your OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.

Next, have a look at prompt.json and edit promptfooconfig.yaml. The prompt uses a special built-in variable _conversation that has the following signature:

type Completion = {
  prompt: string | object;
  input: string;
  output: string;
};

type Conversation = Completion[];

When looping through _conversation, use completion.prompt in the Nunjucks prompt template to use the previous outputs. For example, completion.prompt[completion.prompt.length - 1].content is the last user message sent in a chat-formatted prompt.

completion.input is the last part of the prompt. In a chat-formatted conversation, it will be equal to completion.prompt[completion.prompt.length - 1].content. In other conversations, it will be equal to completion.prompt[completion.prompt.length - 1].

Use completion.output to get the assistant's response to that message.

Then run:

bash

promptfoo eval

Afterwards, you can view the results by running promptfoo view
