        Thanks for your interest in 🦜️🔗 LangChain!

        Please follow these instructions, fill every question, and do every step. 🙏
        
        We're asking for this because answering questions and solving problems in GitHub takes a lot of time --
        this is time that we cannot spend on adding new features, fixing bugs, write documentation or reviewing pull requests.

        By asking questions in a structured way (following this) it will be much easier to help you.

        And there's a high chance that you will find the solution along the way and you won't even have to submit it and wait for an answer. 😎

        As there are too many questions, we will **DISCARD** and close the incomplete ones. 
        
        That will allow us (and others) to focus on helping people like you that follow the whole process. 🤓

          * Read open questions until I find 2 where I can help someone and add a comment to help there.
          * I already hit the "watch" button in this repository to receive notifications and I commit to help at least 2 people that ask questions in the future.
          * Once my question is answered, I will mark the answer as "accepted".

        Please add a self-contained, [minimal, reproducible, example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example) with your use case.
        
        If a maintainer can copy it, run it, and see it right away, there's a much higher chance that you'll be able to get help.
        
        **Important!** 
        
        * Use code tags (e.g., ```python ... ```) to correctly [format your code](https://help.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks#syntax-highlighting).
        * INCLUDE the language label (e.g. `python`) after the first three backticks to enable syntax highlighting. (e.g., ```python rather than ```).
        * Reduce your code to the minimum required to reproduce the issue if possible. This makes it much easier for others to help you.
        * Avoid screenshots when possible, as they are hard to read and (more importantly) don't allow others to copy-and-paste your code.

        "pip freeze | grep langchain" 
        platform (windows / linux / mac)
        python version
        
        OR if you're on a recent version of langchain-core you can paste the output of:
        
        python -m langchain_core.sys_info

        "pip freeze | grep langchain"
        platform
        python version
        
        Alternatively, if you're on a recent version of langchain-core you can paste the output of:
        
        python -m langchain_core.sys_info
        
        These will only surface LangChain packages, don't forget to include any other relevant
        packages you're using (if you're not sure what's relevant, you can paste the entire output of `pip freeze`).
