The Reality of Prompt Rot
Modular Prompt Templating
💡 Composable, versioned prompt template generator
export interface PromptTemplateConfig {
version: string
persona: string
guardrails: string[]
taskInstructions: string
outputSchemaDescription: string
}
export function buildPrompt(config: PromptTemplateConfig, userInput: string): string {
return [
'# Persona\n' + config.persona,
'# Instructions\n' + config.taskInstructions,
'# Guardrails\n' + config.guardrails.map(g => '- ' + g).join('\n'),
'# Target Schema\n' + config.outputSchemaDescription,
'# Input\n' + userInput
].join('\n\n')
