Prompt Library
Also known as: Prompt bank, Approved prompts
Definition
A prompt library gives teams reusable instructions, examples, source requirements, and review standards for recurring AI tasks. It is useful only when it is tied to workflows and kept current as tools, data, and business rules change.
Prompt libraries are not a substitute for workflow design. They are supporting infrastructure for repeated work.
The owner should retire prompts that produce weak, stale, or risky outputs.
