Lightweight prompt version control.
Project description
📝 py-prompt-versioner
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
- 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
- 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

📖 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']}")
