Introducing the Markdown Component Prompting System(MCPS)

[falktravis]

Hi everyone! After playing around with component prompting recently, I realized two important things:

1. It can be very helpful to structure prompts with markdown if you are using substantially large prompts like me(I average 15,000 characters per prompt...).
2. It can be even more helpful to dictate the structure of your prompts before giving the actual prompt.

Putting these two things together, I found that a very substantial increase in output quality, specifically in code generation. Because of the nature of component prompting, I was able to create a static system which incorporates these two things into the prompt builder. I call it the Markdown Component Prompting System.

This is implemented as a setting, and can be toggled on or off, but is defaulted to off. If you are using large prompts, I would highly recommend it.

Essentially, it adds a structure explanation to the front of each prompt, of which I provided a default version that works great for me, and gives each section a heading in the format # {section type}: {section name}.

I hope some of you find this useful, happy prompting!
