@aeye/core — Prompt

The Prompt class manages the full lifecycle of an AI interaction including template rendering, tool calling, output parsing, and retries.

Constructor

new Prompt<TContext, TMetadata, TName, TInput, TOutput, TTools>(input: PromptInput)

See Prompts component page for the full PromptInput configuration reference.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
kind	'prompt'	Component kind
name	TName	Prompt name
description	string	Prompt description
refs	TTools	Tool components
input	PromptInput	Full configuration

Methods

get(mode?, input?, ctx?)

Convenient method to get output in various modes:

// Get structured result (waits for completion)
const result = await prompt.get('result', input, ctx);

// Get tool outputs
const tools = await prompt.get('tools', input, ctx);

// Stream all events
const stream = await prompt.get('stream', input, ctx);

// Stream tool events only
const toolStream = await prompt.get('streamTools', input, ctx);

// Stream text content only
const textStream = await prompt.get('streamContent', input, ctx);

Get Types

Mode	Return Type	Description
'result'	Promise<TOutput | undefined>	Parsed structured output
'tools'	Promise<PromptToolOutput[]>	Array of tool results
'stream'	AsyncGenerator<PromptEvent>	All events
'streamTools'	AsyncGenerator<PromptToolEvent>	Tool events only
'streamContent'	AsyncGenerator<string>	Text chunks only

run(input?, ctx?)

Execute and stream all events:

for await (const event of prompt.run(input, ctx)) {
  // handle events
}

applicable(ctx?)

Check if the prompt is available in the given context.

metadata(input?, ctx?)

Get prompt metadata.

Events

Events emitted during run() / get('stream'):

Event	Value Type	Description
request	Request	AI request about to be sent
textPartial	string	Text chunk from streaming
text	string	Complete text for this iteration
textComplete	string	All accumulated text
textReset	string	Text reset (error/retry)
refusal	string	Model refusal message
reason	Reasoning	Complete reasoning trace
reasonPartial	Reasoning	Reasoning chunk
toolParseName	{ id, name }	Tool name parsed
toolParseArguments	{ id, name, args }	Tool args streaming
toolStart	{ name, input }	Tool execution starting
toolOutput	{ tool, result }	Tool completed
toolInterrupt	{ tool, message }	Tool interrupted
toolSuspend	{ tool, message }	Tool suspended prompt
toolError	{ tool, error }	Tool failed
message	Message	Message added
complete	TOutput	Final output
suspend	string	Prompt suspended
requestUsage	Usage	Usage for this request
responseTokens	number	Output token count
usage	Usage	Final accumulated usage

Iteration Budget

maxIterations = outputRetries + forgetRetries + toolIterations + toolRetries + 1

Defaults: 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 9

Reconfiguration

The reconfig callback receives PromptReconfigInput:

interface PromptReconfigInput {
  iteration: number;
  maxIterations: number;
  toolParseErrors: number;
  toolCallErrors: number;
  toolSuccesses: number;
  toolRetries: number;
  outputRetries: number;
  forgetRetries: number;
  tools: Set<string>;
}

And can return PromptReconfig:

interface PromptReconfig {
  config?: Partial<Request>;
  maxIterations?: number;  // 0 = stop immediately, >0 = iterations from now
  toolRetries?: number;
  outputRetries?: number;
  forgetRetries?: number;
}
