What problem does it solve?
DSPy optimizes prompts and orchestrates declarative LM programming to turn prompt engineering into data-driven, self-improving pipelines.
It supports multi-stage systems, tool use, and optimization across multiple LMs for complex reasoning tasks in research, development, and production.
This skill requires a DSPy module, a defined metric, and training data to perform bootstrap few-shot, MIPRO, or finetuning teleprompter optimization and evaluation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Declarative LM programming: Define tasks using signatures and modular blocks that compose into complex workflows.
- Prompt optimization: Automatically generate and select better prompts and demonstrations via teleprompters (BootstrapFewShot, MIPRO, COPRO).
- Multi-stage systems & tool use: Build agents, RAG systems, and parallel pipelines with reliable error handling and traceability.
- Production-grade workflows: Use in research, R&D, and production for high-assurance reasoning tasks and complex data processing.
Quick Start
Create a minimal DSPy workflow with a simple ChainOfThought module and run a basic prompt to observe the reasoning steps and final answer.
