The premise
Prompts shipped in chat history vanish; AI proposes a versioning workflow that treats prompts like code.
What AI does well here
Draft a directory and naming convention
Suggest an evaluation gate per version
Format a rollback runbook
What AI cannot do
Force a team to follow the discipline
Recover history from chat logs nobody saved
