compose_prompts

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/enhancedTools.ts:702-734 (handler)

  The primary handler function for the 'compose_prompts' tool. It validates the input prompts array, retrieves each prompt from the cache, handles missing prompts with errors, joins the contents with a customizable separator, and returns a formatted composed prompt.

  private handleComposePrompts(args: EnhancedToolArguments): CallToolResult {
    if (!args.prompts || args.prompts.length === 0) {
      throw new Error('At least one prompt name is required. 💡 TIP: Use search_prompts to find prompt names, then list them here.');
    }
    
    const separator = args.separator || '\n\n---\n\n';
    const composedParts: string[] = [];
    const notFound: string[] = [];
    
    for (const promptName of args.prompts) {
      const prompt = this.cache.getPrompt(promptName);
      if (prompt && prompt.content) {
        composedParts.push(prompt.content);
      } else {
        notFound.push(promptName);
      }
    }
    
    if (notFound.length > 0) {
      throw new Error(`Prompts not found: ${notFound.join(', ')}\n\n🔍 Use search_prompts to find the correct prompt names. Make sure to use exact names from search results.`);
    }
    
    const composed = composedParts.join(separator);
    
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: `# Composed Prompt\n\nCombined ${args.prompts.length} prompts:\n${args.prompts.map(p => `- ${p}`).join('\n')}\n\n## Result:\n\n${composed}`,
        } as TextContent,
      ],
    };
  }

• src/enhancedTools.ts:223-241 (schema)

  Input schema definition for the compose_prompts tool, specifying the prompts array (required) and optional separator string.

  inputSchema: {
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      prompts: {
        type: 'array',
        items: { type: 'string' },
        description: 'List of exact prompt names to combine in order. Get these names from search_prompts results. Examples: ["code_review_assistant", "documentation_generator"]',
      },
      separator: {
        type: 'string',
        description: 'Text to insert between prompts. Defaults to "\\n\\n---\\n\\n". Can use "\\n\\nNext Step:\\n\\n" or custom separators.',
      },
    },
    required: ['prompts'],
    examples: [
      { prompts: ["code_review_assistant", "documentation_generator"], description: "Review code then generate docs" },
      { prompts: ["api_documentation_generator", "testing_framework"], separator: "\\n\\nNext Task:\\n\\n", description: "Document API then create tests" }
    ],
  },

• src/enhancedTools.ts:221-242 (registration)

  Registration of the compose_prompts tool in the getToolDefinitions() method, including name, description, and full input schema.

    name: 'compose_prompts',
    description: '🔗 Combine Prompts: Combine multiple existing prompts into a single prompt. Perfect for creating complex multi-step workflows. 📋 WORKFLOW: Use search_prompts to find prompt names first, then compose them.',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        prompts: {
          type: 'array',
          items: { type: 'string' },
          description: 'List of exact prompt names to combine in order. Get these names from search_prompts results. Examples: ["code_review_assistant", "documentation_generator"]',
        },
        separator: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Text to insert between prompts. Defaults to "\\n\\n---\\n\\n". Can use "\\n\\nNext Step:\\n\\n" or custom separators.',
        },
      },
      required: ['prompts'],
      examples: [
        { prompts: ["code_review_assistant", "documentation_generator"], description: "Review code then generate docs" },
        { prompts: ["api_documentation_generator", "testing_framework"], separator: "\\n\\nNext Task:\\n\\n", description: "Document API then create tests" }
      ],
    },
  },

• src/enhancedTools.ts:276-277 (registration)

  Switch case in handleToolCall that routes compose_prompts calls to the handler method.

  case 'compose_prompts':
    return this.handleComposePrompts(toolArgs);

• src/index-original.ts:135-154 (handler)

  Alternative simpler inline handler for compose_prompts in what appears to be an original or backup entry point file.

  case 'compose_prompts': {
    const promptNames = request.params.arguments?.prompts as string[];
    const separator = (request.params.arguments?.separator as string) || '\n\n---\n\n';
    const composed = promptNames
      .map(name => {
        const prompt = cache.getPrompt(name);
        return prompt ? prompt.content : null;
      })
      .filter(Boolean)
      .join(separator);
    
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: composed,
        },
      ],
    };
  }
