Prompt Template support?

[yasir-fayrooz]

We used to use Semantic Kernel and we're wondering if there is support for prompt templates in the new agent framework yet and if so, any examples of code?

Particularly examples of Liquid/Handlebars/yaml file support

+1, any plan on this..?

Hi @yasir-fayrooz , thanks for creating this issue. The Semantic Kernel prompt template support was originally created to support prompt engineering scenarios where developers wanted to treat prompts as more than just template strings but wanted more powerful templating functionality. If would be very helpful to understand your use cases for templated prompts in Agent Framework, can you share some details?

We have a case where the prompt is very big and consists of multiple sections of context and instructions.
We use the handlebars templating in SK so that you from a web interface can tweak and reorder the instructions very easily.

Also it was nice in the SK handlebars provider that it can escape dangerous content!

Just using a templating engine (e.g. Jinja2) to render templates based on structured data before an agent invocation should be enough, or am I wrong?
