Configuring templates

The following diagram illustrates where each template is shown within a single episode of solving one task instance.

One of three templates can be shown per turn:

• "Next Step" (next_step_template): Displayed if the model's action successfully runs. The output and a prompt for the next action is shown
• "Next Step (No Output)" (next_step_no_output_template): Displayed if the model's action successfully runs, but does not produce any standard output (e.g. rm, cd)
• "Format Error" (format_error_template): Displayed if the model's response is malformed. Over the next two turns...
  • If one of the model's next response is correct, the message history is updated such that the "Format Error" turn is not kept. The episode continues.
  • If the model's next two responses are both malformed, the episode terminates.

!!! tip "All options" See the template reference for all options.
