Expand description
LLM prompt formatting — template resolution and prompt assembly.
Provides the built-in prompt templates and the helpers needed to build a structured LLM prompt from sanitized content and an optional sanitization report.
§Built-in templates
| Name | Use case |
|---|---|
"troubleshoot" | Incident triage — root cause, event sequence, remediation |
"review-config" | Config review — misconfigurations, security concerns, best practices |
"review-security" | Security posture — auth, exposure, TLS, CVEs, hardcoded secrets |
A filesystem path can be supplied instead of a name; the file’s raw content is used as-is (no substitution is applied to custom templates).
§Prompt modes
Inline (format_llm_prompt) — sanitized bytes are embedded directly in
<content> blocks. Use when piping output to an LLM without writing files.
Reference (format_llm_prompt_reference) — sanitized files are written
to disk and the prompt lists their absolute paths. Use with --output so an
agentic LLM can read the files via its own tools.
§Example
use sanitize_engine::llm::{format_llm_prompt, LlmEntry};
let entries: Vec<LlmEntry> = vec![
("app.log".to_string(), b"INFO start\nERROR disk full\n".to_vec()),
];
let prompt = format_llm_prompt("troubleshoot", &entries, None).unwrap();
assert!(prompt.contains("Root cause"));
assert!(prompt.contains("<content name=\"app.log\">"));Constants§
- PROMPT_
PREAMBLE - Preamble injected into every built-in template, explaining the sanitization model to the LLM so it does not attempt to recover original values.
- TEMPLATE_
REVIEW_ CONFIG - Built-in template for configuration review.
- TEMPLATE_
REVIEW_ SECURITY - Built-in template for security posture review.
- TEMPLATE_
TROUBLESHOOT - Built-in template for incident troubleshooting.
Functions§
- format_
llm_ prompt - Build a complete LLM prompt from a template, content entries, and an optional sanitization report.
- format_
llm_ prompt_ reference - Build a reference-mode LLM prompt: sanitized files are written to disk and the prompt lists their absolute paths for an agentic LLM to read directly.
- resolve_
llm_ template - Resolve a template name or path to its instruction text.
Type Aliases§
- LlmEntry
- A single content entry for the LLM prompt:
(label, sanitized_bytes). - LlmPath
Entry - A reference entry for the LLM prompt:
(input_label, sanitized_output_path).
