Prompt Registry Architecture

Without a registry, prompts live scattered in code, config files, and developer memory. A prompt registry is a centralized store that treats every prompt as a versioned, trackable artifact — just like software code.

Benefits include reproducibility, auditability, rollback capability, and team collaboration.

Each prompt artifact should carry these fields:

• prompt_id — unique stable identifier (e.g. summarize-article)
• version — semantic version string (e.g. 2.1.0)
• template — the actual prompt text with {variable} placeholders
• metadata — author, tags, target model, created_at, description
