Plomp Python Module

Plomp

A small python module for managing and debugging agent contexts.

Just plomp it in and prompt away and get progress tracking and visibility into what your agents.

Overview

Plomp is a tiny library designed to easily integrate into python programs which invoke an LLM over multiple steps and provide some useful benefits such as visualizing progress and making context retrival easier.

Plomp has three main goals:

1. Provide simple observability into execution multistep LLM prompts ("agents" if you must)
2. Track and manage context retrieval
3. Integrate easily into existing code in an unopinionated way

Example Usage

For a detailed example look I have a sample project which simulates the game survivor which uses plomp, the rendered progress can be seen here https://michaelgiba.github.io/survivor/static/plomp.html with the repo here https://github.com/michaelgiba/survivor

A simpler example below:

import plomp

@plomp.wrap_prompt_fn()
def prompt_llm(prompt: str) -> str:
    return "<EXAMPLE LLM RESPONSE>"

llm_response = prompt_llm("What's the weather today?")

for i in range(4):
    plomp.record_event(
        {
            "plomp_display_event_type": "weather_data_accessed",
            "plomp_display_text": f"accessed weather data from API: {i + 1}/10",
            "value": random.random(),
        },
        tags={"tool": "weather_api"},
    )

past_weather_events = plomp.buffer().filter(tags_filter={"tool": ["weather_api"]}).last(3)
past_weather_events.record(tags={"type": "recent_weather_queries"})

llm_response = prompt_llm(
    f"How has the temperature changed over the last three samples?: "
    + str(past_weather_events.to_dict())
)

plomp.write_html(plomp.buffer(), "progress.html")

This would produce a self-contained HTML page which looks like

Structure

Plomp revolves around a centralized buffer which stores three different types of sequential records:

1. "Events": Discrete events which happened that could useful future context for decision making
2. "Queries": An expression which matches previous events based on user provided logic
3. "Prompts": A record of a prompt to an LLM and the response recieved

Installation

Plomp only requires Python3.10+ and its only dependency is typeguard

pip install plomp

Developing

To experiment locally with the UI you can run cd frontend && npm run dev.

Note the project is pretty new so if you see a bug please feel free to file an issue or make a PR.

Contributions

All contributions are welcome. There are a number of things that need to be added:

1. Concurrency support
2. More frontend features
3. Better API documentation
4. Optional live progress reloading instead of only static HTML files for realtime playback
5. Or anything else valuable
