PromptPro: Advanced Prompt Manage and Versioning System

Promptpro is a powerful, flexible, and developer-friendly prompt management system that revolutionizes how you manage, version, and organize your AI prompts. With built-in versioning, tagging, encryption, and a beautiful TUI interface, ppro is the ultimate tool for prompt engineers, AI developers, and anyone serious about prompt management.

Promptpro can be installed via python pip install promptpro, while underneath build with Rust 🦀, providing extremly fast speed. You can using any of your prompt in any language, any project, by simply given a unique key, and every single time you edit your prompt, there will be automatically version store, you never need multi files / messed up json yamls cross different agent projects.

🎮 TUI Interface

Navigate your prompts with the intuitive terminal interface:

• Arrow Keys / hjkl: Navigate between panels and items
• ← →: Switch between the 4 columns (Keys, Versions, Content, Tags)
• Enter / x: Apply or toggle tags on selected versions
• e: Edit content in the current panel
• o: Open external editor (like vim, nano)

ppro get my-prompt 3

# Get by tag
ppro get my-prompt stable

🛠️ Programmatic API Usage

ppro can be easily integrated into both Rust and Python applications.

Rust API

Add to Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
promptpro = { path = "path/to/promptpro" }  # or git source

Basic Rust API Example

High level, write a PromptManager singleton:

use anyhow::Result;
use once_cell::sync::Lazy;
use promptpro::{PromptVault, VersionSelector};
use std::sync::Arc;
use tokio::sync::RwLock;

// Our global PromptManager singleton
pub struct PromptManager {
    vault: Arc<RwLock<PromptVault>>,
}

// Static global instance
static MANAGER: Lazy<PromptManager> = Lazy::new(|| {
    let vault = PromptVault::restore_or_default("./promptpro.vault", None)
        .expect("Failed to open PromptPro default vault");
    PromptManager {
        vault: Arc::new(RwLock::new(vault)),
    }
});

impl PromptManager {
    pub fn get() -> &'static Self {
        &MANAGER
    }

    pub async fn get_prompt(&self, key: &str, selector: VersionSelector<'_>) -> Result<String> {
        let vault = self.vault.read().await;
        Ok(vault.get(key, selector)?)
    }

    pub async fn latest(&self, key: &str) -> Result<String> {
        self.get_prompt(key, VersionSelector::Latest).await
    }
}

// Use

let pm = PromptManager::get();
let prompt = pm
    .get_prompt("pc_operator_v2", VersionSelector::Tag("dev"))
    .await
    .map_err(|e| AgentBuildError::PromptError(e.to_string()))?;

Low level API:

use ppro::{PromptVault, VersionSelector};

// Open the default vault
let vault = PromptVault::open_default()?;

// Add a new prompt
vault.add("greeting", "Hello, World!")?;

// Update an existing prompt
vault.update("greeting", "Hi there!", Some("Updated greeting".to_string()))?;

// Get latest version
let content = vault.get("greeting", VersionSelector::Latest)?;

// Tag a version
vault.tag("greeting", "stable", 1)?;

// Get by tag
let stable_content = vault.get("greeting", VersionSelector::Tag("stable"))?;

// Get history
let history = vault.history("greeting")?;

Backup & Restore API (Rust)

use ppro::PromptVault;

// Dump vault to binary file (with optional encryption)
let vault = PromptVault::open_default()?;
vault.dump("backup.vault", Some("my_password"))?;

// Or without encryption
vault.dump("backup.vault", None)?;

// Restore from binary file
let restored_vault = PromptVault::restore("backup.vault", Some("my_password"))?;

Complete Rust Example Program

use ppro::{PromptVault, VersionSelector};
use anyhow::Result;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let vault = PromptVault::open_default()?;

    // Add a prompt
    vault.add("summarization", "Summarize the following text concisely...")?;
    
    // Update with improvements
    vault.update("summarization", 
        "Provide a concise summary of the following text. Focus on key points and maintain context.",
        Some("Improved summarization prompt".to_string()))?;
    
    // Tag as stable
    vault.tag("summarization", "stable", 1)?;
    
    // Get the latest version
    let latest = vault.get("summarization", VersionSelector::Latest)?;
    println!("Latest prompt: {}", latest);
    
    // Get the stable version
    let stable = vault.get("summarization", VersionSelector::Tag("stable"))?;
    println!("Stable prompt: {}", stable);
    
    // Show history
    let history = vault.history("summarization")?;
    for version in history {
        println!("Version {}: ({}) {:?}",
            version.version, 
            version.timestamp.format("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"),
            version.tags
        );
    }

    // Backup the vault
    vault.dump("backup.vault", Some("secure_password"))?;
    println!("Vault backed up successfully!");
    
    Ok(())
}
