What problem does it solve?

DSPy removes the trial-and-error burden of prompt engineering by letting you define tasks declaratively and improve them systematically from data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Declarative LM programming: Define input/output signatures and compose modules (e.g., Predict, ChainOfThought, ProgramOfThought) for maintainable AI pipelines.
  • Automatic prompt optimization: Use optimizers (e.g., BootstrapFewShot, MIPRO) to generate better few-shot demonstrations and instructions from training examples.
  • Modular RAG and agent systems: Assemble retrieval, reasoning, and multi-stage workflows (including tool-using agents like ReAct) to improve reliability.
  • Practical scenarios: Use DSPy for question answering, classification, information extraction, and multi-hop RAG where consistent structure and measurable quality matter.

Quick Start

Use DSPy to define a question-to-answer signature and then run an optimizer with a labeled trainset to improve answer quality for your target task.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stop manual prompt engineering and optimize prompts automatically?

Automatic prompt optimization uses optimizers like BootstrapFewShot and MIPRO to generate better few-shot demonstrations and instructions from labeled training examples. This replaces manual trial-and-error by systematically improving pipeline quality from defined metrics and datasets.

What is declarative LM programming and how does it build AI agents?

Declarative LM programming defines input/output signatures and composes modules like ChainOfThought and ProgramOfThought to build AI agents. This approach assembles modular RAG pipelines and multi-stage reasoning workflows into maintainable systems without hardcoded prompts.

How do I build a multi-stage RAG pipeline for question answering?

Build a multi-stage RAG pipeline by assembling retrieval, reasoning, and tool-using modules like ReAct into a composable system. This modular approach improves reliability for multi-hop RAG and question answering where measurable quality and consistent structure matter.

Can I use signature programming for information extraction and classification?

Signature programming supports information extraction and classification by defining declarative input/output constraints. You compose modules into pipelines and apply teleprompter optimization using defined evaluation metrics and validation datasets to ensure measurable quality.

Does DSPy work with different language model providers for multi-stage reasoning?

DSPy supports different language model providers for multi-stage reasoning workflows. You define composable modules and signatures, then run teleprompter optimizers across providers to maintain consistent structure and measurable quality for your target task.

What are the limitations of automatic prompt optimization for RAG agents?

Automatic prompt optimization requires labeled training and validation datasets along with defined evaluation metrics to function. Without sufficient labeled examples for the teleprompter, the optimizer cannot generate effective few-shot demonstrations or improve pipeline reliability.
