Common questions
Short answers for the main questions people have before trying this workflow.
What should a developer prompt manager store?
Usually the most valuable prompts are for code review, debugging, refactors, onboarding, architecture thinking, and specification workflows.
Why not just keep developer prompts in docs?
Docs can store prompts, but Promptlight is optimized for fast retrieval and launch during active work, which is when prompts need to be easiest to access.
Can developer prompts evolve over time?
Yes. That is one of the main benefits. You keep refining the prompts that already help your team ship better work and save the improved version.
