Prompt Pattern Library

Canonical prompt-pattern taxonomy and atomic pattern library.

---

What this repository is

• Taxonomy v1.0 (locked)
  A stable, canonical classification of prompt patterns structured as:
  Domains → Categories → Subcategories

  Structural note:
  The Prompt Pattern Library defines 18 primary domains.
  Domain 19 — Meta-Prompting, Logic & System Control is included as a structural and system-level domain to materialize the meta-layer required for documentation, navigation, orchestration, and tooling.
  It does not alter the conceptual 18-domain model.

• Phase 2 — Atomic Pattern Library
  One Markdown file per pattern (subcategory), each using a consistent YAML + Markdown schema, designed for:

  • clear documentation
  • cross-referencing
  • long-term versioning
  • static publishing

---

Canonical source of truth

• Taxonomy reference:
  docs/governance/taxonomy-v1.0.md

This file is the authoritative definition of the taxonomy. Folder structure and navigation files mirror it, but do not supersede it.

---

Authoring workflow

• Open docs/ as a Zettlr project root
• Each domain and category has an _index.md
• Each atomic pattern lives in its own Markdown file

This structure supports:

• focused authoring
• predictable navigation
• Git-based review
• MkDocs publishing

---

Publishing (optional)

This repository includes mkdocs.yml for building a clean static wiki. Publishing is optional and does not affect the authoring workflow.
