LangChain Knowledge Check

MediumPython

Problem

Tell me about LangChain.

Implement a minimal LangChain-style runnable pipeline that composes prompt formatting, model invocation, and output parsing. The function receives ordered step definitions and initial variables, then returns the final string. A prompt step formats its template with the current dictionary, a model step formats a deterministic response template using {input}, and a parser step applies either strip or first_line.

Constraints

  • 1 <= len(steps) <= 20
  • steps contains prompt, model, and parser steps in a valid execution order
  • Prompt templates reference keys present in the current dictionary
  • Model response templates use the {input} placeholder
  • Parser mode is either strip or first_line
  • All values are strings except the initial variables dictionary

Function Signature
