You can also provide a prompt file instead of an inline prompt. The action
supports both plain text files and structured `.prompt.yml` files:
```yaml
steps:
- name: Run AI Inference with Prompt File
- name: Run AI Inference with Text File
id: inference
uses: actions/ai-inference@v1
with:
prompt-file: './path/to/prompt.txt'
```
### Using GitHub prompt.yml files
For more advanced use cases, you can use structured `.prompt.yml` files that
support templating, custom models, and JSON schema responses:
```yaml
steps:
- name: Run AI Inference with Prompt YAML
id: inference
uses: actions/ai-inference@v1
with:
prompt-file: './.github/prompts/sample.prompt.yml'
input: |
var1: hello
var2: ${{ steps.some-step.outputs.output }}
var3: |
Lorem Ipsum
Hello World
```
#### Simple prompt.yml example
```yaml
messages:
- role: system
content: Be as concise as possible
- role: user
content: 'Compare {{a}} and {{b}}, please'
model: openai/gpt-4o
```
#### Prompt.yml with JSON schema support
```yaml
messages:
- role: system
content:
You are a helpful assistant that describes animals using JSON format
- role: user
content: |-
Describe a {{animal}}
Use JSON format as specified in the response schema
model: openai/gpt-4o
responseFormat: json_schema
jsonSchema: |-
{
"name": "describe_animal",
"strict": true,
"schema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {

"type": "string",
"description": "The habitat the animal lives in"
}
},
"additionalProperties": false,
"required": [
"name",
"habitat"
]
}
}
```
Variables in prompt.yml files are templated using `{{variable}}` format and are
supplied via the `input` parameter in YAML format.
### Using a system prompt file
In addition to the regular prompt, you can provide a system prompt file instead

Various inputs are defined in [`action.yml`](action.yml) to let you configure
the action:
| Name | Description | Default |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `token` | Token to use for inference. Typically the GITHUB_TOKEN secret | `github.token` |
| `prompt` | The prompt to send to the model | N/A |

| `endpoint` | The endpoint to use for inference. If you're running this as part of an org, you should probably use the org-specific Models endpoint | `https://models.github.ai/inference` |
