Prompt Versioning

Definitions

1. The practice of assigning explicit versions to prompts so changes can be tracked, compared, rolled back, and audited. Prompt versioning is especially important when prompts materially affect product behavior.

   In plain English: Tracking prompts with explicit versions so changes are controlled.

   Example: "Prompt versioning let them tie a spike in refusals to one exact instruction change rather than guessing across several edits."
