How do you maintain prompts?
Practice this question- I treat prompts as versioned configuration with an owner, evaluation dataset, release gate, and trace tag.
- I investigate patterns in failures instead of accumulating conflicting instructions for individual anecdotes.
- Provider/model upgrades rerun the same contract tests.
