Add Makefile and benchmark automation framework for PromptCompEval

[Copilot]

Overview

This PR implements a complete benchmark automation framework for PromptCompEval, providing Makefile boilerplate and scripts to easily run benchmarks for different prompt compilation techniques such as byLLM.

What's New

🛠️ Makefile Automation

Added a comprehensive Makefile with 15+ commands for common tasks:

• Setup: make setup, make install, make install-dev
• Testing: make test, make coverage
• Benchmarking: make benchmark, make benchmark-fast, make benchmark-full, make benchmark-compare
• Code Quality: make lint, make format, make type-check
• Utilities: make clean, make results

Run make help to see all available commands.

📊 Benchmark Scripts

• run_benchmarks.py: Main benchmark runner with CLI arguments for quick, standard, or full benchmark suites
• compare_techniques.py: Automated comparison tool that analyzes and displays results across different techniques
• setup.sh: One-command environment setup script

🔧 Core Framework

Built a modular evaluation framework in src/promptcompeval/ with:

• Evaluator: Core evaluation logic for running benchmarks
• Techniques: Four prompt compilation implementations:
  • OriginalTechnique - Baseline without compilation
  • ByLLMTechnique - LLM-based prompt compilation
  • OptimizedTechnique - Hand-optimized prompts
  • CompressedTechnique - Token-compressed prompts

📋 Configuration & Data

• YAML configuration template in benchmarks/configs/default.yaml
• Sample dataset with 5 task categories (translation, summarization, entity extraction, sentiment analysis, QA)
• Proper directory structure with .gitkeep files and .gitignore rules

✅ Testing

• Unit tests for all techniques (9 tests, all passing)
• Pytest configuration in pyproject.toml
• Coverage support via make coverage

📚 Documentation

• README.md: Comprehensive documentation with usage instructions, project structure, and examples
• QUICKSTART.md: Quick reference guide for getting started
• CONTRIBUTING.md: Developer guidelines for contributing
• LICENSE: MIT License
• Example code: examples/basic_usage.py demonstrating framework usage

📦 Packaging

• requirements.txt with all necessary dependencies
• setup.py and pyproject.toml for package installation
• Proper Python project structure following best practices

Quick Start

# Setup environment
make setup
source venv/bin/activate

# Run benchmarks
make benchmark-fast

# Compare techniques
make benchmark-compare

# View results
make results

Benefits

• ✅ Easy to use: Single command to run benchmarks (make benchmark)
• ✅ Extensible: Modular design makes it easy to add new techniques and datasets
• ✅ Well-documented: Comprehensive guides for users and contributors
• ✅ Tested: Full test coverage with pytest
• ✅ Professional: Follows Python packaging best practices

This framework provides everything needed to evaluate and compare different prompt compilation techniques in a systematic, reproducible way.

Original prompt

This is a project where we use real prompt engineered applications, convert them to different prompt compilation techniques such as byLLM, and evaluate different metrics. This project is a evaluation framework, so grate to have a makefile boiler plate or scripts in place to just run these benchmarks
