Promptlight Glossary | Prompt Engineering, Prompt Libraries, and AI Workflow Terms
A practical glossary for prompt engineering, prompt library management, and AI workflow language used by teams building reusable prompt systems.
library management
Local-First Prompt Library
A prompt library stored in local files first, so prompts stay portable, searchable, and under the team’s control.
prompt engineering
Objective Execution Mode
A precision-oriented prompting pattern that emphasizes explicit objectives, constraints, and output compliance.
prompt engineering
Output Contract
The explicit agreement a prompt sets about what the output should contain, how it should be structured, and what standard it should meet.
prompt engineering
Persona Prompt
A prompt that frames the model through a named role, identity, or perspective before the task begins.
prompt engineering
Playbook Prompt
A prompt built as a repeatable operating template so the same reasoning pattern can be run across many situations.
prompt engineering
Prompt Constraints
The limits, rules, and boundaries a prompt sets on scope, behavior, or output.
ai operations
Prompt Evaluation
The process of checking whether a prompt actually produces the quality, structure, and reliability you expect across realistic inputs.
prompt engineering
Prompt Iteration
The repeated process of testing and revising prompts based on real outputs, failures, and new context.
library management
Prompt Library
A collection of reusable prompts organized so they can be found, edited, improved, and reused across workflows.
workflow
Prompt Manager
Software or workflow layer for storing, organizing, reviewing, and retrieving reusable prompts.
prompt engineering
Prompt Optimizer
A tool or workflow that improves prompt wording, structure, and repeatability without changing the core job to be done.
prompt engineering
Prompt Refinement
The targeted work of tightening a prompt’s wording, structure, and constraints so it performs more consistently.
library management
Prompt Tagging
The practice of labeling prompts with short, reusable terms that improve retrieval and grouping.
prompt engineering
Prompt Template
A reusable prompt structure with placeholders or variables that can be adapted to different inputs without rewriting from scratch.
workflow
Prompt Workflow
The repeatable process used to draft, test, review, revise, and reuse prompts in real work.
prompt engineering
Strategy Prompt
A prompt designed to produce structured reasoning for planning, prioritization, tradeoffs, or decision support.
prompt engineering
System Prompt
A high-priority instruction that sets the model’s role, behavior, constraints, or operating rules for a conversation or workflow.
