[frontier] How to optimize agent prompts and demonstrations automatically rather than manual prompt engineering?

Use DSPy's BootstrapFewShot teleprompter to automatically select and optimize demonstrations and prompts based on a validation metric, treating the LLM as a module in a self-improving pipeline.

Journey Context:
Manual prompt engineering doesn't scale across model versions or tasks. DSPy shifts to programming over prompting—define modules, compile with teleprompters. BootstrapFewShot selects effective few-shot examples automatically. The tradeoff is upfront compute for optimization vs. runtime performance. This treats prompts as optimized artifacts rather than hand-written logic, essential for maintaining agent performance across model updates.
