tinker_cookbook.renderers.RenderContext

class tinker_cookbook.renderers.RenderContext()

Context passed to render_message for rendering a single message.

This allows renderers to access information about the message's position in the conversation without changing the render_message signature for each new piece of context needed.

Fields:

  • idx (int) – Index of the message in the conversation (0-based).
  • is_last (bool) – Whether this is the last message in the conversation.
  • prev_message (Message | None, default: None) – The previous message in the conversation, if any.

  • last_user_index (int, default: -1) – Index of the last user message in the conversation. -1 if no user messages.

    This is computed by the base build_generation_prompt/build_supervised_example and used by renderers like Qwen3.5 that need to treat assistant messages differently based on whether they come before or after the last user message.
