Developer proposes script-based style guide enforcement for LLMs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has proposed a method for effectively applying style guides to large language models by categorizing rules into three types: those that can be enforced by a script, those suitable for direct inclusion in a system prompt, and those requiring human judgment. This approach addresses common failures such as inconsistent rule adherence, the inability to measure compliance, and the weakness of simple prohibitions. The proposed solution involves creating a JSON file for rules and a Python script to check for violations, ensuring that only verifiable constraints are passed to the model. AI

    A Style Guide a Model Can Follow

    <p>A house style guide is written for a person who can ask a colleague. Pasting it into a system prompt fails for two reasons: most of it is not phrased as a constraint, and the parts that are get lost among the parts that are not. Sort the rules into three piles, enforce one pil…
