SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It prevents wasting expensive prompt-optimization runs by ensuring you only compile an optimizer when you have a validated metric and enough labeled data for the optimizer you intend to run.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-gate readiness decision: checks that the metric exists and is human-validated (at least 20 spot-checks) and that the labeled example count clears the floor for the chosen optimizer.
  • Optimizer selection by constraints: picks an optimizer based on data scale and whether you have textual feedback (e.g., GEPA can work with far fewer examples when feedback is rich).
  • Cost discipline and escalation rules: starts with a cheap probe (auto="light"), escalates only on meaningful lift, and confirms gains on a held-out test set rather than the optimization validation set.

Quick Start

Ask your coding/agent workflow to decide whether it is compile-ready for DSPy prompt auto-optimization, returning a go/no-go gate and the recommended optimizer choice.

FAQPage Schema
What do I need to verify before running DSPy prompt auto-optimization?

DSPy prompt optimization readiness requires a human-validated metric, verified through at least 20 spot-checks, and a sufficient number of labeled examples meeting the floor for your chosen optimizer.

How does DSPy optimizer selection work with limited labeled data?

DSPy optimizer selection evaluates your data scale and textual feedback richness, allowing optimizers like GEPA to function with far fewer examples when feedback is detailed.

Can I control compute costs when compiling DSPy optimizers?

Yes, cost control starts with a cheap probe run using auto="light", escalating only when meaningful lift is detected and confirming gains on a held-out test set.

When should I run DSPy prompt compilation instead of manual prompting?

You should run DSPy prompt compilation when manual prompting plateaus, using a two-gate readiness check to ensure you have validated metrics and enough data before spending compute.

What happens if my evaluation metric fails the spot-check validation?

If your evaluation metric fails spot-check validation, the compile-ready gate blocks the optimization run, preventing wasted compute on an unverified metric.
