All questions
What should a prompt library include to stay useful?
A good library stores prompts with purpose, owner, version, examples, acceptance criteria, model fit notes, and failure modes. Add tags for task type and industry. Provide short, copyable templates and longer reference versions. Include eval results and last-reviewed dates so teams trust what they reuse. Keep deprecation notices visible to avoid stale patterns spreading.
In practice
Include a ‘when not to use’ note on every template to reduce misuse.
Where to start
- 1Adopt a standard front-matter header for each prompt.
- 2Tag by task (summarize, extract, reason) and domain.
- 3Attach 3 real examples with expected outputs.
- 4Schedule monthly curation and cleanup.
