About promptimal
shobrook/promptimal
A very fast, very minimal prompt optimizer
Uses a genetic algorithm to iteratively refine prompts by generating candidate variations and scoring them with LLM-as-judge evaluation or custom evaluator functions. Supports hyperparameter tuning (iteration count, population size, termination threshold) and integrates with OpenAI's API by default, with a terminal UI for monitoring optimization progress. Can be extended with custom Python evaluator scripts for dataset-based or task-specific evaluation metrics.
