Lightweight prompt version control.

Project description

📝 py-prompt-versioner

License: MIT Python: 3.9+ Built with: uv

Stop copy-pasting 500-line f-strings. py-prompt-versioner is a lightweight utility designed for AI engineers who want to treat their prompts like code. Store prompts in Markdown, version them properly, and inject variables with ease.


✨ Features

  • Frontmatter Metadata: Store model settings (temperature, model name) directly within the prompt file.
  • Jinja2 Templating: Support for complex variable injection, loops, and logic.
  • Strict Validation: Powered by Pydantic to ensure your metadata is always correct.
  • CLI First: Bootstrap your prompt directory structure in one command.
  • Path-Agnostic: Works seamlessly across Windows, Mac, and Linux.

🚀 Installation

Install via pip:

pip install py-prompt-versioner

or using uv for lightning-fast-setup:

uv add py-prompt-versioner

🛠 Quick Start

  1. Initialize your project Use the CLI to create your prompt directory structure.
# Creates a default /prompts folder
prompt-versioner init

# Or specify a custom path
prompt-versioner init --path ./my_ai_assets
  1. Create a prompt file Your prompts live in .md files with YAML frontmatter. Example: prompts/sample_task/v1.md
---
version: "v1"
model: "gpt-4o"
temperature: 0.7
---

Act as a professional editor. Summarize the following text: {{ text }}

📖 Usage Guide

Integrate py-prompt-versioner into your Python workflow to load and render prompts dynamically.

from prompt_versioner import PromptManager

# 1. Initialize the manager with your prompts directory
pm = PromptManager(path="./prompts")

# 2. Load and render a specific version with variables
result = pm.get_prompt(
    task_name="sample_task",
    version="v1",
    variables={"text": "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."}
)

# 3. Use the result
print(f"Using model: {result['metadata'].model}")
print(f"Prompt: {result['content']}")
