POML (Prompt Orchestration Markup Language) is a markup language developed by Microsoft specifically for large-scale language model (LLM) prompt word engineering. Its core advantages are reflected in four areas:
- Structured organization: Using HTML-like tag syntax (e.g., , ), complex prompts have a clear modular division, which solves the problem that traditional text prompts are difficult to maintain.
- multimodal support: By<document>,<table>Specialized components, such as text, tables, pictures and other external data can be directly embedded, which is difficult to achieve ordinary text prompts.
- Dynamic generation capacity: The built-in template engine supports variables, loops and conditional judgments (e.g., {{variable}}, tags), and can dynamically generate prompted content based on data.
- development toolchain: Provide VS Code plug-ins (with syntax highlighting, real-time preview) and Python/Node.js SDK, dramatically improving development efficiency.
Together, these features address the pain points of traditional cue word engineering such as confusing formats, difficulty in reuse, and lack of standardized tools.
