Making Prompts First-Class Citizens for Adaptive LLM Pipelines

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2508.05012v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Modern LLM pipelines increasingly resemble complex data-centric applications: they retrieve data, correct errors, call external tools, and coordinate interactions between agents. Yet, the central element controlling this entire process -- the prompt -- remains a brittle, opaque string that is entirely disconnected from the surrounding program logic. This disconnect fundamentally limits opportunities for reuse, optimization, and runtime adaptivity.
