# Prompt Engineer Toolkit
## Overview
Use this skill to move prompts from ad-hoc drafts to production assets with repeatable testing, versioning, and regression safety. It emphasizes measurable quality over intuition. Apply it when launching a new LLM feature that needs reliable outputs, when prompt quality degrades after model or instruction changes, when multiple team members edit prompts and need history/diffs, when you need evidence-based prompt choice for production rollout, or when you want consistent prompt governance across environments.
## Core Capabilities
- A/B prompt evaluation against structured test cases
- Quantitative scoring for adherence, relevance, and safety checks
- Prompt version tracking with immutable history and changelog
- Prompt diffs to review behavior-impacting edits
- Reusable prompt templates and selection guidance
- Regression-friendly workflows for model/prompt updates
## Key Workflows
### 1. Run Prompt A/B Test
Prepare JSON test cases and run:
```bash
python3 scripts/prompt_tester.py \
--prompt-a-file prompts/a.txt \
--prompt-b-file prompts/b.txt \
--cases-file testcases.json \
--runner-cmd 'my-llm-cli --prompt {prompt} --input {input}' \
--format text
```
Input can also come from stdin/`--input` JSON payload.
### 2. Choose Winner With Evidence
The tester scores outputs per case and aggregates:
- expected content coverage
- forbidden content violations
- regex/format compliance
- output length sanity
Use the higher-scoring prompt as candidate baseline, then run regression suite.
### 3. Version Prompts
```bash
# Add version
python3 scripts/prompt_versioner.py add \
--name support_classifier \
--prompt-file prompts/support_v3.txt \
--author alice
# Diff versions
python3 scripts/prompt_versioner.py diff --name support_classifier --from-version 2 --to-version 3
# Changelog
python3 scripts/prompt_versioner.py changelog --name support_classifier
```
### 4. Regression Loop
1. Store baseline version.
2. Propose prompt edits.
3. Re-run A/B test.
4. Promote only if score and safety constraints improve.
## Script Interfaces
- `python3 scripts/prompt_tester.py --help`
- Reads prompts/cases from stdin or `--input`
- Optional external runner command
- Emits text or JSON metrics
- `python3 scripts/prompt_versioner.py --help`
- Manages prompt history (`add`, `list`, `diff`, `changelog`)
- Stores metadata and content snapshots locally
## Pitfalls, Best Practices & Review Checklist
**Avoid these mistakes:**
1. Picking prompts from single-case outputs — use a realistic, edge-case-rich test suite.
2. Changing prompt and model simultaneously — always isolate variables.
3. Missing `must_not_contain` (forbidden-content) checks in evaluation criteria.
4. Editing prompts without version metadata, author, or change rationale.
5. Skipping semantic diffs before deploying a new prompt version.
6. Optimizing one benchmark while harming edge cases — track the full suite.
7. Model swap without rerunning the baseline A/B suite.
**Before promoting any prompt, confirm:**
- [ ] Task intent is explicit and unambiguous.
- [ ] Output schema/format is explicit.
- [ ] Safety and exclusion constraints are explicit.
- [ ] No contradictory instructions.
- [ ] No unnecessary verbosity tokens.
- [ ] A/B score improves and violation count stays at zero.

## Evaluation Design
Each test case should define:
- `input`: realistic production-like input
- `expected_contains`: required markers/content
- `forbidden_contains`: disallowed phrases or unsafe content
- `expected_regex`: required structural patterns
This enables deterministic grading across prompt variants.
## Versioning Policy
- Use semantic prompt identifiers per feature (`support_classifier`, `ad_copy_shortform`).
- Record author + change note for every revision.
- Never overwrite historical versions.
- Diff before promoting a new prompt to production.
## Rollout Strategy
1. Create baseline prompt version.
2. Propose candidate prompt.
3. Run A/B suite against same cases.
4. Promote only if winner improves average and keeps violation count at zero.
5. Track post-release feedback and feed new failure cases back into test suite.
