The 4 rules that keep prompt libraries alive after every model update
Named by failure, paired with swap-outs, dual-model variants, and quarterly pruning.
TL;DR
- Prompt lists die in 3 months because they are named for actions, not failures
- Four rules keep a prompt library compounding value across model upgrades
- Failure-mode naming + paired swap-outs + dual Claude/GPT variants + quarterly prune
- Library stays small (30 active) because dead weight is deleted, not archived
- Full 187-prompt working library ships in the Prompt Failure Mode Vault
