# Prompt Versioning
Prompts are code. They should be versioned, tested, reviewed, and deployed with the same rigor as software. Treating prompts as casual text that anyone can edit leads to quality regressions, inconsistent behavior, and debugging nightmares.
## Why Version Prompts
- **Accountability**: Know who changed what and when
- **Rollback**: Revert to a previous version when a change causes problems
- **Testing**: Compare performance of different versions
- **Collaboration**: Multiple people can work on prompts without overwriting each other
- **Audit trail**: Understand how the prompt evolved and why
## Versioning Practices
- **Source control**: Store prompts in version control (Git, etc.), not in application configuration
- **Meaningful commits**: Each change should explain what was changed and why
- **Change categories**: Classify changes as bug fixes, improvements, new features, or experiments
- **Review process**: Prompt changes should be reviewed before deployment, like code reviews
- **Semantic versioning**: Major changes (behavioral shift), minor changes (new capability), patches (bug fixes)
