🚀 What is llmquery?

llmquery is a comprehensive framework for interacting with Language Model APIs, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Mistral, Github AI Models, and Ollama. It leverages standard YAML templates for prompt management, validation, and dynamic generation. Designed to streamline complex workflows, it allows developers to integrate, query, and test LLMs with ease.

Whether you’re building a chatbot, generating creative content, or analyzing data, llmquery provides the tools to standardize and optimize LLM interactions.

🎬 llmquery in Action

This is an example where llmquery runs with detect-security-vulnerabilities template to scan application code.

Why llmquery?

Language models have become integral to modern applications, but efficiently managing and interacting with several providers can be challenging. llmquery solves this by offering:

• Provider-Agnostic Queries: Support for several providers, including OpenAI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Mistral, GitHub AI Models, and Ollama.
• Templated Workflows: Use YAML-based templates to define dynamic prompts and system configurations.
• Validation and Error Handling: Ensure templates are validated, token limits are checked, and errors are surfaced with actionable messages.
• Extensibility: Easily extend to support new providers or integrate with custom workflows.

---

💡 Key Features

• Multi-Provider Support: Interact seamlessly with OpenAI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Mistral, GitHub AI Models, and Ollama.
• YAML-Based Prompt Management: Define, validate, and render prompts dynamically.
• Token & Length Validation: Prevent token limit errors with built-in checks.
• Error Handling: Comprehensive handling of common API and template issues.
• CLI & Programmatic Access: Use as a Python library or command-line tool.

📝 Templates

llmquery has a collection of well-tested LLM Prompts Templates for various use-cases, including Application Security, AI Security, Code Reviews, Developer Velocity, and general cases. You can check the templates at the ./llmquery-templates directory. All templates are bundled within llmquery, and can be accessed directly when refrencing the template ID.

Templates are powered by Jinja2, a Turing-complete template engine. This allows for the creation of dynamic and flexible templates through the use of conditional statements, loops, functions, and other advanced constructs.

View the full templates documentation at the llmquery templates documentation.

✨ Want to Contribute?

We're always looking for contributions! Here are some ideas to get started:

• Add support for new LLM providers.
• Develop new YAML templates for common use cases.
• Improve error handling and validation logic.
• Build additional examples and documentation.
• Design a web interface for managing queries and responses.

Feel free to create issues, submit pull requests, or suggest enhancements on GitHub.
