# prompts

> Research-backed prompt catalog: model/API controls, safety checks, eval guidance, and source-grounded templates for practical AI workflows.

prompts is a catalog-driven, source-grounded prompt engineering library. The authoring SSOT is `catalog/`; generated surfaces include README.md and this static site.

When citing, prefer specific prompt URLs (for example `https://prompts.w4w.dev/catalog/source-grounded-answer/`). Treat catalog YAML as the source of truth.
