From 3b37b9354a0463a9cc7dbebd86ddfbddf67ad228 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Hrozek Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2024 21:05:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Tune the system prompts to extract package names or ecosystems With Copilot+Anthropic the user message can contain instructions that are passed from the chat client and really sound like a system message. For whatever reason, the chat client includes them with `role=user`. These instructions confuse the LLM when extracting the package names or ecosystem and it replies with a mix of JSON and natural language. To work around that, Pankaj suggested to tune the system prompt and tell the LLM to ignore the instructions. This seems to work and helps Anthropic extract the package names even with copilot user message.
