SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This workflow helps teams bootstrap a complete AI feature project using DSPy, ensuring a consistent structure from the start and preventing ad-hoc setups.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Opinionated skeleton: provides a ready-to-fill project layout with standard files (main.py, program.py, metrics.py, evaluate.py, data.py, and requirements.txt).
  • Guided setup for DSPy workflows: templates for data loading, model definition, evaluation, and optional deployment scaffolds.
  • Use case: ideal when starting a new AI-powered feature such as classification, data extraction, or decision automation, ensuring a scalable foundation.

Quick Start

Run the kickoff flow to bootstrap a DSPy-based AI feature project from scratch.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new AI feature project using DSPy?

Scaffolding a DSPy AI feature project is done by running a kickoff flow that generates an opinionated skeleton with standard files like main.py, program.py, and metrics.py. This ensures a consistent structure for data loading, model definition, and evaluation workflows.

What is the standard project structure for a DSPy application?

The standard project structure for a DSPy application includes a main entry point alongside standard module files like data.py, metrics.py, and evaluate.py. This opinionated layout provides ready-to-fill templates for data loading, program definition, and evaluation.

Do I need Python to set up a DSPy program skeleton?

Yes, you need Python to set up a DSPy program skeleton. The scaffolding process requires Python, the DSPy framework, and a preferred language model provider to populate the requirements.txt file and initialize the environment correctly.

Can I use this scaffold for AI classification and data extraction features?

Yes, you can use this scaffold for AI classification and data extraction features. The generated project structure is ideal for building new AI-powered applications, providing templates for data loading, evaluation, and decision automation workflows.

What's the best way to bootstrap a DSPy workflow without ad-hoc setups?

The best way to bootstrap a DSPy workflow without ad-hoc setups is to use an opinionated scaffolding tool. It generates a complete project layout with standard files for program definition and evaluation, ensuring a consistent and scalable foundation from the start.
