Draft a copy-paste prompt asking an LLM to write a new type detector

Source: R/00-llm-prompts.R
draft_detector_prompt.Rd

Turns a handful of example values for a new data type into a self-contained prompt: the versioned detector contract (see `inst/prompts/detector-contract.md`) followed by the type's positive examples and machine-generated hard negatives. Paste or attach the result into any LLM; feed the function it returns to [evaluate_detector()].

Usage

draft_detector_prompt(
  examples,
  type_name,
  n_negatives = 15,
  seed = 514,
  file = NULL,
  contract_path = NULL,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

examples

A character vector of 10-25 valid example values for the new type.

type_name

A single lower_snake_case type name, e.g. `"iso_country"`. The LLM is asked to write `is_<type_name>()`.

n_negatives

Max hard negatives to include per mutation tier (keeps the prompt readable; the file still captures everything you pass).

seed

Integer seed for reproducible test-case generation.

file

Output path for the prompt `.md`; `NULL` writes to `tempdir()`.

contract_path

Optional override for the bundled contract (path or URL).

quiet

If `TRUE`, only write the file (no console print).

Value

The prompt file path, invisibly. The prompt text is printed unless `quiet = TRUE`.
