# Repromptable (PromptDev)

> Capture, analyze, and replay prompt chains. Version control for AI-native development workflows.

## What is PromptDev?

PromptDev is a methodology and toolchain for prompt-driven development — treating prompts as first-class software artifacts rather than throwaway chat messages.

## The Problem

### For Developers
- **Copy-Paste Chaos**: Prompts scattered across chat windows, lost the moment you close a tab.
- **Zero Reproducibility**: Re-running a prompt gives different results. No version control, no diff, no history.
- **No Chain Awareness**: AI tools treat each prompt in isolation. Context from previous steps is gone.

### For Teams & Business
- **Slow Iteration Cycles**: Teams spend weeks rebuilding features that could be described in minutes.
- **No Process Visibility**: Leadership can't track how AI is being used or measure its impact.
- **Inconsistent Results**: Different team members get wildly different outputs from the same requirements.

## The Vision — The PromptDev Workflow

1. **Capture**: Record every prompt in a structured chain with full context.
2. **Analyze**: Detect patterns, dependencies, and optimization opportunities.
3. **Summarize**: Generate TLDRs and documentation from prompt chains automatically.
4. **Replay & Verify**: Re-run prompt chains deterministically. Verify outputs against expectations.

## How It Works

### Developer Flow
1. **Install & Hook** — One command to integrate with your existing AI toolchain. `npx promptdev init`
2. **Capture Chains** — Every prompt, response, and context automatically recorded in .pd chain files. `promptdev capture 'Build auth flow with OAuth'`
3. **Analyze & Optimize** — Static analysis for your prompt chains. Find redundancies, suggest improvements, detect anti-patterns. `promptdev analyze auth-flow.pd`
4. **Replay & Verify** — Deterministic replay with verification. CI/CD for prompt chains. `promptdev replay auth-flow.pd --verify`

### Team Flow
1. **Connect Your Tools** — Integrate with your team's existing AI workflow in minutes.
2. **Automatic Logging** — Every AI interaction is captured, organized, and made searchable.
3. **Insights & Reports** — Dashboard showing ROI, velocity improvements, and team adoption metrics.
4. **Standardize & Scale** — Turn successful prompt patterns into reusable templates.

## The Adoption Pattern

Every dev tool that became essential followed this pattern — developers adopt first, businesses follow. PromptDev is tracking this same trajectory with growing interest from developer communities and enterprise teams.

## ELI5 — Explain Like I'm 5

### English
PromptDev is like a magic notebook that remembers everything you told a robot helper. Instead of losing your instructions every time, it captures every wish, figures out which ones work best together, summarizes what you built, and lets you replay the same creation perfectly. It's like having LEGO instructions for everything you build with AI.

### Suomeksi (Finnish)
PromptDev on kuin taikavihko, joka muistaa kaiken mitä sanoit robottikaverille. Sen sijaan että ohjeet katoaisivat joka kerta, se tallentaa jokaisen toiveen, selvittää mitkä toimivat parhaiten yhdessä, tiivistää mitä rakensit, ja antaa sinun toistaa saman luomuksen täydellisesti. Se on kuin LEGO-ohjeet kaikelle mitä rakennat tekoälyn kanssa.
