promptpack 0.1.0

$ promptpack-emit --help
usage: promptpack [-h] [--version] [--db DB] [--format {table,json}]
                  {commit,list,get,history,tag,rollback,render,diff,ab,choose} ...

    commit              add a new immutable version
    list                list prompts
    get                 show a version's body
    history             version history of a prompt
    tag                 point a tag at a version
    rollback            roll a tag back to a prior version
    render              render a version with variables
    diff                unified diff between two refs
    ab                  attach weighted A/B variants to a tag
    choose              select an A/B variant (deterministic with --key)

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  --db DB               registry file path
  --format {table,json}

Blocks above are real promptpack output — reproduce them from a clone.

Sample result format (illustrative values — run on your own data for real findings):

{
"findings": [
    {
        "id": "1234567890",
        "title": "Suspicious Network Traffic",
        "description": "A potential threat was detected on a network interface.",
        "severity": "medium",
        "created_at": "2023-02-15T14:30:00Z"
    },
    {
        "id": "2345678901",
        "title": "Malware Detection",
        "description": "A malicious file was detected on a system.",
        "severity": "high",
        "created_at": "2023-02-16T10:45:00Z"
    }
]
}

Usage — step by step

1. Install the CLI (Python 3.9+):

   pip install git+https://github.com/cognis-digital/promptpack.git
   

2. Commit an immutable version of a prompt to the registry:

   promptpack commit greeting --file greeting.txt -m "first cut"
   

3. Tag a version and render it with variables substituted:

   promptpack tag greeting prod --ref latest
   promptpack render greeting --ref prod --var name=Ada
   

4. Inspect history, diff two refs, or read JSON for tooling:

   promptpack history greeting
   promptpack diff greeting 1 2
   promptpack --format json list
   

5. Run a deterministic A/B selection (e.g. in a serving path):

   promptpack ab greeting prod 1:1 2:3
   promptpack choose greeting prod --key user-123

Why promptpack?

promptops

promptpack is single-purpose, scriptable, and self-hostable: point it at a target, get prioritized results in the format your workflow already speaks (table · JSON · SARIF), gate CI on it, and let agents drive it over MCP.

Features

• ✅ Fast, single-purpose CLI
• ✅ JSON / SARIF output for pipelines
• ✅ CI fail-gate (--fail-on)
• ✅ MCP server for AI agents
• ✅ Runs on Linux/macOS/Windows · Docker · devcontainer
• ✅ Ports in Python, JavaScript, Go, and Rust (ports/)

Quick start

pip install cognis-promptpack
promptpack --version
promptpack scan .                       # scan current project
promptpack scan . --format json         # machine-readable
promptpack scan . --fail-on high        # CI gate (non-zero exit)

Example

$ promptpack scan .
  [HIGH    ] PRO-001  example finding             (./src/app.py)
  [MEDIUM  ] PRO-002  another signal              (./config.yaml)

Use it from any AI stack

promptpack is interoperable with every popular way of using AI:

• MCP server — promptpack mcp (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cognis.Studio, uncensored-fleet)
• OpenAI-compatible / JSON — pipe promptpack scan . --format json into any agent or LLM
• LangChain · CrewAI · AutoGen · LlamaIndex — wrap the CLI/JSON as a tool in one line
• CI / scripts — exit codes + SARIF for non-AI pipelines

How it compares

	Cognis promptpack	promptlayer
Self-hostable, no account	✅	varies
Single command, zero config	✅	⚠️
JSON + SARIF for CI	✅	varies
MCP-native (AI agents)	✅	❌
Polyglot ports (JS/Go/Rust)	✅	❌
Open license	✅ COCL	varies

Built in the spirit of promptlayer, re-framed the Cognis way. Missing a credit? Open a PR.

Integrations

Pipes into your stack: SARIF for code-scanning, JSON for anything, an MCP server (promptpack mcp) for AI agents, and a webhook forwarder for SIEM/Slack/Jira. See docs/INTEGRATIONS.md.
