Prompt libraries beat one-off genius prompts
Reusable templates with inputs beat clever one-liners you forget by Friday.

The Story
Teams keep reinventing the same ask: rewrite, summarize, extract risks, draft replies. Clever one-liners die in chat history. A shared library with variables wins.
Why It Matters
Consistency helps QA. New hires ramp faster when the desk already wrote the scaffold. Prompt folklore does not survive vacations or Slack scrollback.
Desk Take
Store prompts next to the docs they serve. Version them like code — not like chat folklore. Include inputs ("paste transcript", "tone: blunt") so people stop improvising the same scaffold.
