Prompt Version Control

Reviewed 9 April 2026 Canonical definition

Prompt version control is the practice of treating AI prompts as first-class software artefacts — storing them in version control systems, tracking changes with commit messages, enabling branching and merging, and associating each prompt version with its evaluation results. It is foundational to reproducible agent behaviour and auditability of prompt-level changes.
