Are we ready for a prompt-in-public system? (github.com)

A proposal has emerged for a new tool called "Prompt in Public," aimed at enabling developers to share their prompts used with AI coding assistants like OpenAI's Codex and Anthropic's Claude Code within open-source repositories. The idea is to create "Prompt Cards" that link specific prompts to their corresponding commit histories, allowing others to see the human intent behind code changes. This initiative encourages transparency in software development and could elevate developers' roles from mere code writers to curators of effective AI interactions. By attaching prompts to GitHub pull requests (PRs), other developers can easily remix successful prompts, thus fostering collaboration and increasing the visibility of effective coding strategies. Technically, both Codex and Claude Code support features like the UserPromptSubmit hook, which captures prompt submissions before they're processed. The suggestion is to create a local package to easily draft, publish, and manage these Prompt Cards, with mechanisms for redaction and user approval ensuring safety and privacy. The proposed tool would not only allow developers to showcase their skills in directing AI but also establish a ranking system based on the effectiveness of prompts, creating a new avenue for recognition within the AI/ML community. By making these prompts public and contextually rich, "Prompt in Public" could revolutionize how human contributions to AI-assisted coding are viewed and valued.
