Templates

LWE comes with a full template management system, leveraging the power of the venerable Jinja framework.

Templates allow storing text in template files, and quickly leveraging the contents as your user input.

Features:

• Create/edit templates

• Per-profile templates

• {{ variable }} syntax substitution

• Five different workflows for collecting variable values, editing, and running

See the various /help template commands for more information.

Builtin variables

LWE exposes some builtin variables that can be used in templates:

• {{ clipboard }} - Insert the contents of the clipboard

Front matter

Templates may include front matter (see the example templates).

These front matter attributes have special functionality:

• description: Displayed in the output of /templates

• request_overrides: A hash of model customizations to apply when the template is run:

  • system_message: An existing system message alias, or a custom system message to use when running the template

  • title: Sets the title of new conversations to this value

  • preset: An existing preset for the provider/model configuration to use when running the template (see Presets)

  • activate_preset: By default, a preset set in a template is only used during the run of the template. To switch the backend to using the preset for other requests by default, set this to true

  • preset_overrides: A dictionary of metadata and model customization overrides to apply to the preset when running the template

    • metadata: A dictionary of metadata overrides

    • model_customizations`: A dictionary of model customization overrides

    This dictionary is recursively merged with the struture of the preset configuration. To see the exact structure of a preset, use the /preset edit command.

All other attributes will be passed to the template as variable substitutions.
