Original: Hardcoding LLM prompts is fine until it isn't. Here's what we built instead.
Short summary
Hardcoded system prompts in LLM applications break silently: a buried edit changes guardrails or response format system-wide with no audit trail. PromptOT treats prompts as versioned artifacts, splitting them into independent blocks—role, context, instructions, guardrails, output format—each editable separately, with immutable publishing and one-click rollback. APIs deliver compiled prompts; MCP server integrates with Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. Free tier: 3 projects, 5 prompts, 1K monthly API calls.
