- This is really clever. Dotprompt as a thin, pipe-friendly layer around LLMs feels way more ergonomic than spinning up a whole agent stack. The single-file + stdlib approach is a nice touch too. How robust is the JSON schema enforcement when chaining multiple steps?

- This is pretty cool. I like using snippets to run little scripts I have in the terminal (I use Alfred a lot on macOS). And right now I just manually do LLM requests in the scripts if needed, but I'd actually rather have a small library of prompts and then be able to pipe inputs and outputs between different scripts. This seems pretty perfect for that.
I wasn't aware of the whole ".prompt" format, but it makes a lot of sense.
Very neat. These are the kinds of tools I love to see. Functional and useful, not trying to be "the next big thing".

- This is really cool and interesting timing, as I created something similar recently - https://github.com/julio-mcdulio/pmp
I've been using mlflow to store my prompts, but wanted something lightweight on the cli to version and manage prompts. I setup pmp so you can have different storage backends (file, sqlite, mlflow etc.).
I wasn't aware of dotprompt, I might build that in too.
- Everything seems to be about agents. Glad to see a post about enabling simple workflows!
- Can the base URL be overridden so I can point it at eg Ollama or any other OpenAI compatible endpoint? I’d love to use this with local LLMs, for the speed and privacy boost.

- Interesting! Seems there is a very similar format by Microsoft called `.prompty`. Maybe I'll work on a PR to support either `.prompt` or `.prompty` files.

- Just like Linus being content with other people working on solutions to common problems, I’m so happy that you made this! I’ve had this idea for a long time but haven’t had the time to work on it.

- It would be cool if there were some cache (invalidated by hand, potentially distributed across many users) so we could get consistent results while iterating on the later stages of the pipeline.
- Can it be made to be directly executable with a shebang line?
- Fun! I love the idea of throwing LLM calls in a bash pipe
- i literally vibe coded a tool like this. it supports image in, audio out, and archiving.
- Ooof, I guess vibecoding is only as good as the vibecoder.
- Seeing lots of good ideas in this thread. I am taking the liberty of adding them as GH issues

- Why this over md files I already make and can be read by any agent CLI ( Claude, Gemini, codex, etc)?
- Thats pretty good, now lets see simonw's one...
