Plain-English guide

Short answer

A prompt package manager lets a team save useful prompts as packages. Each package has a name, a version, and clear install steps.

Words used in this guide

  • AIPM: a tool that installs and updates reusable AI instructions.
  • Package: a named group of files that people can install and update together.

What this means

Copy-paste does not scale

A prompt in a chat window is easy to lose. A prompt in a package can be found, reviewed, installed, and updated.

Good prompt packages explain the task

A useful prompt package should answer four questions. When should I use it? What information does it need? What should it create? Which AI tools can use it?

Versions prevent confusion

When a prompt changes, publish a new version. That way users can see what changed and choose when to update.

Simple steps to create and AI agent

  1. Choose one repeated prompt your team uses often.
  2. Write a short README or SKILL.md for it.
  3. Add examples of good input and output.
  4. Publish it as an AIPM package.
  5. Install it in projects that need the prompt.

Where to go next

If you want to try this in a real project, start with the install guide, then read how to use AIPM. If you want to share your own workflow, read the publishing guide.

FAQ

Should every prompt become a package?

No. Package prompts that are reused, important, or shared across a team.

Can a prompt package include examples?

Yes. Examples are useful because they show the assistant what good output looks like.
