Prompt libraries treated as software for better AI development

This article argues that prompt libraries should be treated as software engineering problems rather than simple documentation tasks. The author suggests a three-layer approach: storage using Git and YAML for versioning, management for discovery and governance with features like role-based access control and quality scoring, and consumption through various tools like SQL functions or chat agents. This structured approach aims to ensure prompt libraries are usable, maintainable, and trustworthy. AI

IMPACT Adopting software engineering principles for prompt libraries can improve AI model performance and reliability.
