The LangChain Hub

The LangChain Hub (announced here; examples here) provides prompts directed at developers integrating LLMs into systems (so not necessarily prompts refined for searching in these public-facing interfaces).

re: a "searchable repository of examples" [@zamfirescu-pereira2023johnny]?

The LangChain Hub does provide a search interface to the prompt examples.

I look for a "searchable repository of examples", drawn from [@zamfirescu-pereira2023johnny], in [SearchRights.org](https://searchrights.org/criteria/searchable-repository-of-examples.html#card).

I do not believe the LangChain Hub was initially searchable. I did not document this as well as I should.

re: a “searchable repository of examples” (Zamfirescu-Pereira et al., 2023)? \@LangChainAI's LangChain Hub does not seem to directly provide a search interface to the prompt examples?

Reference: The screenshot on blog.langchain.dev/langchain-prompt-hub shows a search interface on the hub. It is a bit disorienting as the og:image shows the search interface, even on tweets with social share cards from much earlier (and with gifs). The screenshot on docs.smith.langchain.com/hub/quickstart does not show a search interface, while the Google WebCache from 2023-09-09 ) does show a search interface. (It is possible it was only available to select accounts?) The screenshot from Google Images does not show a search interface . The screenshots on a 2023-09-08 article from Cobus Greyling ("LangChain Hub" ) and a 2023-09-10 article from Sudarshan Koirala ("What Is LangChain Hub" do not show a search interface.

I noted access to it on 2023-09-12.

✅ searchable repository of examples
Nice to see the update!

I learned here of Mollick's use of "grimoires" [@mollick2023useful]:

As LangChain and the broader ecosystem has evolved, the role of prompting has only become more important to the LLM development process. As Ethan Mollick recently wrote [ . . . ], "now is the time for grimoires." By "grimoires" he means "prompt libraries that encode the expertise of their best practices into forms that anyone can use."

[ . . . ]

Today, polished prompts and the wisdom that comes with it are distributed across the web and all-too-often buried in the crannies of blog posts, Twitter threads, and people's head's. By bringing all tis knowledge together in one easily-navigable place, we think we can accelerate the pace of development and learning together.

To use Mollick's terminology–we're starting with public grimoires today, but we'll be enabling private, company-specific grimoires very soon.
