NPL tag reference

The <npl-*> tags of Noizu Prompt Lingua: 20tags covering declarations, reasoning pumps, evaluation blocks, runtime control, and prompt sections. Each page gives the tag’s purpose, attributes, and a short example.

SemText renders these tags as live components — every tag page links to its rendered-form reference on semtext.dev.

Declarations

Opening pump that states what the agent understood, what it is assuming, and what it plans to deliver.

<npl-poa>

Plan of action

Decision-tree pump: a mermaid diagram of candidate paths with weights, explicit reasoning, and the selected path.

Step-by-step reasoning pump: each step records thought, understanding, theory of mind, plan, and rationale, ending in an outcome.

<npl-mode>

<npl-mindread>

Mind reader

Theory-of-mind pump: what the other party likely wants, feels, and needs beyond what they said.

Runtime control

<npl-flags>

<npl-directive>

Directive chip

Inline element form of an NPL directive ⟪glyph: instruction | elaboration⟫ or prefix chip emoji➤ instruction.
