prompt-suite-versioning

prompt-suite-versioning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab. It costs 44 tokens per session (954 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for improving prompts—written instructions for an AI—as versioned files with scores and recorded changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps refine production prompts, examples, output rules, and safety instructions one change at a time.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with measured comparisons and makes regressions easy to trace and undo.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

prompt-suite-versioning scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Prompt Suite Versioning

1 · Purpose

Turn prompt editing from taste into engineering: every version has a score, every change is one variable, every regression is reversible.

2 · When to use

  • Improving, refactoring, or "cleaning up" any production prompt.
  • Adding few-shot examples, schema constraints, or injection rules to a prompt.

Do not use to draft the very first prompt of a brand-new task, draft freely, then enter this loop the moment a scorer exists (eval-first-development).

3 · Inputs

  • A golden set and scorer (eval-first-development) with a recorded baseline.
  • The current prompt, saved as a file (not living only in code or chat history).
  • A versions log: prompts/log.md or the eval results directory.

4 · Procedure

  1. Save the current prompt as v{N}.md and record its baseline score. If it has no score, score it now, this is the number every later version must beat.
  2. Pick one variable to change: one system-prompt line, one example, one schema field, one formatting rule. Write down the hypothesis: "adding the null rule will fix the missing-field hallucinations."
  3. Create v{N+1}.md with exactly that change. No drive-by edits.
  4. Run the scorer. Record version, score, and the one-line reason in the log.
  5. If the score dropped, revert without debate. If it rose, keep it. If it is flat, decide by cost: keep the cheaper or simpler version.
  6. Read the failures of the new version, not the score alone. Cluster them. If a failure class is new, add a case for it to the golden set with a commit message.
  7. Repeat from step 2 until the score clears the spec gate or three consecutive versions fail to move it. On the third flat version, STOP and report: the prompt axis is exhausted; the lever is elsewhere (retrieval, model, data).
  8. Keep every version file. Disk is cheap; archaeology is expensive.

5 · Anti-rationalization

Excuse Answer
"This change is obviously safe." "Obviously safe" prompt edits are the leading cause of silent regressions. Score it.
"I'll batch these three tweaks to save time." Then you will never know which one helped, and you will re-learn it next month.
"The eval is slow; I'll just eyeball this one." Eyeballing is how v1 shipped with a carrier-suffix bug. Run the scorer.
"Deleting old versions keeps the repo clean." The old version is the rollback. Keep it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

prompt-suite-versioning is a skill published in the GitHub repository zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab (302 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 954 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
