Report #85484

[frontier] My prompts are hand-tuned and I need systematic optimization based on production metrics

Use DSPy to treat prompt optimization as a search problem. Define metric functions for success \(e.g., JSON validity, task completion\), then use DSPy's optimizers \(BootstrapFewShot or MIPRO\) to automatically generate effective prompts and select few-shot examples based on execution history.

Journey Context:
Manual prompt engineering is guesswork. A/B testing prompts is expensive and slow. DSPy \(Declarative Self-improving Python\) frames LLM programming as an optimization problem: you write the objective \(metric\) and the search space \(prompts, examples\), and DSPy uses bootstrap learning or Bayesian optimization to find high-performing configurations. This moves from 'vibe-based' prompting to metric-driven optimization, continuously improving prompts based on production feedback without manual tuning.
