Imprompt: A Language Framework for Prompt Programming 文章

arXiv:2607.22683v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the unprecedented success of Language Models (LMs), the science of Prompt Engineering has evolved the powerful idea of Prompt Programming, where prompts are treated as a programmable control surface for describing complex tasks and leveraging LM capabilities. However, existing prompt programming frameworks suffer from various complexities and inelegances, which make them hard to utilize in practice for effectively describing tasks. We propose Imprompt, a new language framework for the study and practice of prompt programming. We undertake a foundational investigation of prompt programming, and contend that prompt programs must contain only the task descriptions and must be decoupled from lower-level 'execution' details. We further develop this position by illustrating structured prompting as a combination of prompt programming and prompt program 'compilation'.
