Function Signature

function getStackedPrompt(id: PromptId): string

The prompt ID to retrieve. Must be one of the available prompt IDs:
  • 'master_prompt' - Base prompt for all translations
  • 'encyclopedia_mixed' - For mixed-discipline scholarly works
  • 'fatawa' - For Islamic legal rulings and Q&A
  • 'fiqh' - For Islamic jurisprudence
  • 'hadith' - For hadith narrations
  • 'jarh_wa_tadil' - For narrator criticism and praise
  • 'tafsir' - For Quranic commentary

​
Returns

​

The stacked prompt content string. For master prompt, returns as-is. For addon prompts, returns master + addon combined with a newline separator.

​
Example

import { getStackedPrompt } from 'wobble-bibble';

// Get hadith prompt content
const hadithContent = getStackedPrompt('hadith');

// Use directly with OpenAI
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4',
  messages: [
    {
      role: 'system',
      content: hadithContent
    },
    {
      role: 'user',
      content: 'P1: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "إنما الأعمال بالنيات"'
    }
  ]
});

// Use with Anthropic
const message = await anthropic.messages.create({
  model: 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022',
  system: getStackedPrompt('fiqh'),
  messages: [
    {
      role: 'user',
      content: 'P1: باب الصلاة'
    }
  ]
});

​
Comparison with getPrompt

import { getPrompt, getStackedPrompt } from 'wobble-bibble';

// These are equivalent:
const content1 = getStackedPrompt('hadith');
const content2 = getPrompt('hadith').content;

console.log(content1 === content2); // true

// Use getPrompt when you need metadata:
const prompt = getPrompt('hadith');
console.log(prompt.name);      // "Hadith"
console.log(prompt.isMaster);  // false

// Use getStackedPrompt when you only need the text:
const text = getStackedPrompt('hadith');
// Just the string content, no metadata

​
Errors

Throws an Error if the prompt ID is not found: 
try {
  const content = getStackedPrompt('invalid_id' as PromptId);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error.message); // "Prompt not found: invalid_id"
}
Use this function when you only need the prompt text and don’t need metadata like the name or isMaster flag. It’s more concise than calling getPrompt(id).content.
