The lesson
Why save prompts? Good prompts are reusable assets. A prompt that worked once can work again with minor tweaks.
Naming convention: Use descriptive names like 'Rust_Debug_Trait_Bounds' instead of 'prompt1'. Include the purpose and key elements.
The Prompt Library: Use File → Prompt Library to save prompts with metadata. Add tags like 'coding', 'rust', 'debugging' for easy searching.
Folder organization: Create folders by project (TPEE, Website, Reports) or by type (Code, Documents, Emails).
Version control: When improving a prompt, save as a new version rather than overwriting. This lets you compare what worked better.
Auto-backup: TPEE automatically saves backups. Know where your TPEE_Data/backups folder is located for recovery.
A first-year laboratory assistant saves her sample-log prompts in the library with descriptive names and tags them by instrument so she can find them next week.
A junior library assistant files catalogue prompts in folders by collection and saves a new version each time the wording improves.
An apprentice electrician keeps quote prompts in a job-type folder, names each one after the work involved and checks where the backups folder sits.
A new veterinary receptionist stores reminder prompts under clear names and tags them by species so a colleague can reuse them.
A trainee warehouse clerk saves stock-summary prompts with the date range in the name instead of prompt one, prompt two and prompt three.
A junior media assistant keeps headline prompts in a folder per programme and saves older versions rather than overwriting them.
A graduate research assistant organises literature-summary prompts by project and adds tags for method and topic.

A first-year planning officer keeps permit prompts in folders by application type and notes which version produced the clearest output.
A junior hotel receptionist groups guest-reply prompts by season, names each after the situation and knows where the automatic backups are kept.
