🚀 PromptKit Self‑Improvement Roadmap #111
Description
🚀 PromptKit Self‑Improvement Roadmap
A staged, verifiable plan for PromptKit to introspect, audit, and improve its own prompt components.
This issue tracks the long‑term evolution of PromptKit into a self‑auditing, self‑optimizing semantic system.
Each step is independent, adds value on its own, and moves PromptKit toward full introspection.
✅ 1. Prompt Graph Integrity Checks
Goal: Ensure all prompt components reference each other correctly.
Tasks
- Detect broken references
- Detect orphaned prompt components
- Detect missing required companion components (e.g., persona without protocol)
Verification
- CI job produces a structural integrity report
- Zero structural issues is the target state
✅ 2. Prompt Metadata Completeness Auditor
Goal: Ensure every prompt component includes required metadata.
Tasks
- Define required metadata fields
- Build a metadata completeness checker
- Add CI enforcement
Verification
- CI fails when metadata is missing
- Report lists incomplete components
🚧 3. Prompt Quality Profiler
Goal: Score each prompt using a consistent quality rubric.
Tasks
- Define rubric (clarity, determinism, constraints, ambiguity, failure modes)
- Implement profiler persona
- Add scoring thresholds
Verification
- CI outputs a score per prompt
- Prompts below threshold are flagged
🚧 4. Prompt Behavioral Auditor
Goal: Validate prompt behavior using controlled test cases.
Tasks
- Define test harness prompt
- Define expected‑behavior prompts
- Implement output comparison prompt
Verification
- Pass/fail per test case
- Behavioral drift reports generated
🚧 5. Prompt Drift Detector
Goal: Detect divergence between related prompt components.
Tasks
- Identify drift‑sensitive relationships (persona ↔ protocol, protocol ↔ format, etc.)
- Implement drift comparison prompt
- Add drift severity scoring
Verification
- CI reports drift levels
- Zero drift is the target state
🚧 6. Prompt Cross‑Audit
Goal: Ensure consistency across persona, protocol, format, validator, and improver components.
Tasks
- Implement cross‑audit prompt
- Define invariants for each relationship
- Add CI enforcement
Verification
- CI outputs mismatch report
- Zero mismatches is the target state
🔮 7. Prompt Improver (Human‑in‑the‑Loop)
Goal: Automatically propose improvements when audits fail.
Tasks
- Implement improver persona
- Generate patch proposals
- Generate PR descriptions
Verification
- Automated PRs created
- Human review required
🔮 8. Full Self‑Improvement Loop (Future)
Goal: PromptKit continuously audits and improves itself.
Tasks
- Nightly audit pipeline
- Automatic PR creation
- Semantic convergence metrics
Verification
- Automated PRs appear regularly
- Drift decreases over time
- Quality scores trend upward
📌 Notes
This roadmap is intentionally incremental.
Each step stands alone and improves PromptKit even if later steps are never implemented.
