Keep institutional materials in a component system: a color and typography template, table

◆ Key idea: templates keep expertise from being lost.

So that expertise does not return to zero, turn what worked into reusable assets: a
request form, an input template, an approved prompt, a checklist, a good example, a
change log, and performance indicators.

A prompt library is useful when it is managed as a small product, not as a file containing text

without context. Every prompt has a name, a purpose, required inputs, an expected output,
