Prompt Registry
Definition
Make checked prompts centrally findable.
A prompt directory stores named templates with metadata, versions, and possibly approval status for shared use.
Simply explained
Like a library with clearly labeled work instructions.
Why it matters in practice
Teams avoid accidental copies and find the intended version.
Example from business
A hypothetical company stores templates for offer drafts and support responses in a shared register.
Limits and pitfalls
- Without responsibility and maintenance, even a central register becomes confusing.
Origin & history
The pattern transfers artifact directories to language model instructions.
Use in mid-sized companies
- Record purpose, responsibility, and approved version per template.
