Overview
A versioning mechanism that persists prompt templates as immutable, content-addressed objects for reproducible LLM interactions.
Description
Prompt Publishing saves prompt objects to the Weave backend with automatic content-based versioning. Each publish creates a new version only if the prompt content has changed (based on content hash comparison). This enables teams to share, iterate on, and track the history of prompt templates.
Usage
Use this principle when a prompt template is ready for production use, needs to be shared with team members, or should be tracked for reproducibility. Publishing is the bridge between local prompt development and production deployment.
Theoretical Basis
Prompt publishing applies the Object Publishing principle specifically to prompt objects:
- Serialization: The prompt object (including template text, messages, config) is serialized.
- Hashing: A content-addressable hash is computed.
- Deduplication: Only new content creates a new version.
- Reference Creation: An ObjectRef URI is returned for retrieval.
