What problem does it solve?

DSPy.rb empowers Ruby developers to program LLMs with type-safe signatures and composable modules, replacing ad-hoc prompt engineering with a robust, testable DSL.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Type-safe Signatures: Define input/output contracts with runtime validation to prevent schema drift.
  • Composable Modules & Pipelines: Build reusable, multi-step LLM workflows and agent patterns with tool integration.
  • Provider Configuration & Observability: Centralize configuration across OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, and OpenRouter, with testing, optimization, and monitoring support.

Quick Start

Install DSPy.rb, configure a provider, create a signature, assemble a module, and run a forward pass to obtain a structured result.

FAQPage Schema
How do I program LLMs in Ruby without ad-hoc prompt engineering?

You can program LLMs in Ruby by defining type-safe DSPy.rb signatures and composable modules to replace ad-hoc prompts. This approach provides runtime validation for input and output contracts, preventing schema drift in your LLM workflows.

How do I configure multiple LLM providers like OpenAI and Gemini in a Ruby application?

You can configure multiple LLM providers in Ruby by centralizing settings for OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, and OpenRouter. This allows you to manage provider configurations and execute forward passes to obtain structured results from your modules.

What are DSPy.rb signatures and how do they validate LLM outputs?

DSPy.rb signatures are type-safe definitions for input and output contracts that provide runtime validation to prevent schema drift. They ensure the structured results returned by your LLM provider match the expected data format.

Can I build multi-step LLM agent workflows and pipelines in Ruby?

Yes, you can build reusable, multi-step LLM workflows and agent patterns in Ruby using composable modules and pipelines. These modules support tool integration to create structured, testable processing steps.

How do I test and monitor LLM workflows in Ruby?

You can test and monitor LLM workflows in Ruby using provided templates for testing, optimization, and observability. This support ensures your type-safe signatures and modular pipelines function correctly across configured providers.

Is there a way to ensure type safety for LLM structured outputs in Ruby?

Yes, type safety for LLM structured outputs in Ruby is achieved by defining type-safe signatures with runtime validation. This prevents schema drift by ensuring the output contracts are strictly enforced during the module forward pass.
