Convert POML to AI-Ready Prompts & Chat Messages with Zero Dependencies Workflow Solution

Workflow overview

Why this workflow matters

Improves internal consulting operations and productivity. Relevant for managed services and support workflows.

POML → Prompt/Messages (No-Deps) What this does Turns POML markup into either a single Markdown prompt or chat-style messages\[] — using a zero-dependency AlekSystem Code node. It supports variable substitution (via context), basic components (headings, lists, code, images, tables, line breaks), and optional schema-driven validation using componentSpec + attributeSpec. Credits Created by Real Simple Solutions as an AlekSystem template friendly POML compiler (no dependencies) for full POML feature parity.

Works on AlekSystem Cloud and self-hosted. What it does This workflow converts POML into: prompt** (Markdown) for single-shot models, or messages[]** (system|user|assistant) for chat APIs when speakerMode is true. It supports variable substitution via a context object ({{dot.path}}), lists, headings, code blocks, images (incl. base64 → data: URL), tables from JSON (records/columns), and basic message components. How it works Set (Specs & Context):** Provide componentSpec (allowed attrs per tag), attributeSpec (typing/coercion), and optional context. Code (POML → Prompt/Messages):** A zero-dependency compiler parses the POML and emits prompt or messages[]. > Add a yellow Sticky Note that includes this description and any setup links. Use additional neutral sticky notes to explain each step. How to set up Import the template. Open the first Set node and paste your componentSpec, attributeSpec, and context (examples included). In the Code node, choose: speakerMode: true to get messages[], or false for a single prompt. listStyle: dash | star | plus | decimal | latin. Run → inspect prompt/messages in the output. Requirements No credentials or community nodes. Works without external libraries (template-compliant). How to customize Add message tags (<system-msg>, <user-msg>, <ai-msg>) in your POML when using speakerMode: true. Extend componentSpec/attributeSpec to validate or coerce additional tags/attributes. Preformat arrays in context (e.g., bulleted, csv) for display, or add a small Set node to build them on the fly. Rename nodes and keep all user-editable fields grouped in the first Set node. Security & best practices Never** hardcode API keys in nodes. Remove any personal IDs before publishing. Keep your Sticky Note(s) up to date and instructional.
