prompty-dumpty 0.5.0

Universal package manager for AI coding assistants

PromptyDumpty

A lightweight, universal package manager for AI coding assistants (prompts, instructions, rules, workflows, etc.).

What is it?

PromptyDumpty lets you install and manage prompt packages across different AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Windsurf, and more.

Why?

• Share prompts easily: Package and distribute your team's prompts
• Works everywhere: One package works with multiple AI coding assistants
• Simple: Just YAML files and Git repos, no complex setup
• Safe: Clean installation and removal, clear tracking

Installation

Using pip

pip install prompty-dumpty

From Source

git clone https://github.com/dasiths/PromptyDumpty.git
cd PromptyDumpty
pip install -e .

Verify Installation

dumpty --version

Quick Start

# Initialize in your project

# Install a package
dumpty install https://github.com/org/my-prompts

# List installed packages
dumpty list

# Update packages

How it Works

1. Auto-detects your AI agent (checks for .github/prompts/, .claude/commands/, etc.)
2. Installs package files to the right directories
3. Tracks everything in a lockfile for easy management
4. Organizes files by package name for clean removal
