MonkeysPaw – A prompt-driven web framework in Ruby


Be careful what you wish for...

Meet MonkeysPaw: a web framework where all the pages are prompts and what you see is whatever the LLM thinks you meant. The idea for Monkeys Paw grew out of some conversations I had after my RubyConf 2024 talk, Going Postel, where I explored an idea inspired by Postel’s law - building systems that accept whatever an LLM gives you, rather than focusing on trying to get an LLM to give you exactly the right code. MonkeysPaw is the first in what I expect will be may more “Works on Your Machine” posts, where I’m releasing a things that are a bit more put together, whether it’s open source frameworks like this or actually launching AI products here.
