Microsoft POML – Prompt Orchestration Markup Language

Summary

POML: Prompt Orchestration Markup Language POML (Prompt Orchestration Markup Language) is a novel markup language designed to bring structure, maintainability, and versatility to advanced prompt engineering for Large Language Models (LLMs). It addresses common challenges in prompt development, such as lack of structure, complex data integration, format sensitivity, and inadequate tooling. POML provides a systematic way to organize prompt components, integrate diverse data types seamlessly, and manage presentation variations, empowering developers to create more sophisticated and reliable LLM applications. Demo Video Key Features Structured Prompting Markup : Employs an HTML-like syntax with semantic components such as <role> , <task> , and <example> to encourage modular design, enhancing prompt readability, reusability, and maintainability. : Employs an HTML-like syntax with semantic components such as , , and to encourage modular design, enhancing prompt readability, reusability, and maintainability. Comprehensive Data Handling : Incorporates specialized data components (e.g., <document> , <table> , <img> ) that seamlessly embed or reference external data sources like text files, spreadsheets, and images, with customizable formatting options. : Incorporates specialized data components (e.g., , , ) that seamlessly embed or reference external data sources like text files, spreadsheets, and images, with customizable formatting options. Decoupled Presentation Styling : Features a CSS-like styling system that separates content from presentation. This allows developers to modify styling (e.g., verbosity, syntax format) via <stylesheet> definitions or inline attributes without altering core prompt logic, mitigating LLM format sensitivity. : Features a CSS-like styling system that separates content from presentation.
