 # PromptML (Prompt Markup Language)

 ## Why PromptML ?
+
 PromptML is built to provide a way for prompt engineers to define the AI prompts in a deterministic way. This is a Domain Specific Language (DSL) which defines characteristics of a prompt including context, objective, instructions and it's metadata.
 A regular prompt is an amalgamation of all these aspects into one entity. PromptML splits it into multiple sections and makes the information explicit.
 
 The language grammar can be found here: [grammar.lark](./src/promptml/grammar.lark)
 
-
 ## How PromptML looks ?
+
 The language is simple. You start blocks with `@` section annotation. A section ends with `@end` marker. Comments are started with `#` key. The prompt files ends with `.pml` extension.
 
 ```pml
 @prompt
+    # Add task context
     @context
-    # Add prompt context
     @end
+
+    # Add task objective
     @objective
     # This is the final question or ask
     @end
+
+    # Add one or more instructions to execute the prompt

 ## Design
+
 Regular text prompts are very abstract in nature. Natural languages are very flexible but provides least reliability. How to provide context for an AI system and ask something ? Shouldn't we specify that explicitly.
 PromptML is an attempt to make contents of a prompt explicit with a simple language.
 
 ## Core tenets of PromptML
+
 Below are the qualities PromptML brings to prompt engineering domain:
 
 1. Standardization instead of fragmentation
 2. Collaboration instead of confusion
 3. Enabling version control-ability
 4. Promoting verbosity for better results
 
-
 ## Why not use XML, YAML, or JSON for PromptML ?
+
 First, XML, JSON, and YAML are not DSL languages. They are data formats that can represent any form of data. Second, generative AI needs a strict, yet flexible data language with fixed constraints which evolve along with the domain.
 
 PromptML is built exactly to solve those two issues.

+
+## Defining variables
+
+You can define variables in the promptML file and use them in the prompt `context` and `objective`. The variables are defined in the `@vars` section and referenced using `$var` syntax in either `context` or `objective` sections.
+
+```pml
+@vars
+    name = "John Doe"
+@end
+
+@prompt
+    @context
+        You are a name changing expert.
+    @end
 
+    @objective
+        You have to change the name: $name to an ancient name.
+    @end
+@end
 ```

 We are currently working on:
 
 1. Supporting more annotations (Ex: temperature, top_p)
