What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the guesswork and fragility of hand-crafted LLM prompts by providing a type-safe, modular framework for building production-grade AI applications in Ruby. Instead of manually tuning prompt strings, developers define inputs and outputs using Sorbet types and let DSPy.rb handle prompt generation, optimization, and structured output parsing.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Type-Safe Signatures: Define LLM interfaces with Ruby types and enums, ensuring compile-time safety and reliable structured outputs.
- Modular Agents & Tools: Compose ReAct and CodeAct agents with type-safe tools, enabling complex multi-step workflows like research automation and data processing.
- Automatic Optimization: Improve prompt accuracy using MIPROv2 and GEPA optimizers with real evaluation data instead of manual guesswork.
- Production Observability: Built-in event tracing, Langfuse integration, and lifecycle callbacks for monitoring LLM applications in Rails environments.
- Use Case: A Rails developer building a customer support classifier can define a signature with typed inputs and outputs, wrap it in a module with error handling, and optimize it against real support tickets—all without writing raw prompt strings.
Quick Start
Use the dspy-ruby skill to build a type-safe sentiment analysis predictor that classifies customer feedback and returns a confidence score.
