What is OPS?
The Open Prompt Specification (OPS) is an open, vendor-neutral standard that defines how prompts should be designed as structured, data-driven, and reusable components for AI and Large Language Model (LLM) applications.
Why OPS?
As AI systems become more prevalent, the need for standardized, maintainable, and portable prompts becomes critical. OPS addresses this by providing a common framework for prompt engineering that works across different AI providers and platforms.
Key Benefits
- Portability: Write once, use everywhere. OPS prompts work across different LLM providers.
- Maintainability: Structured prompts are easier to version, test, and maintain.
- Reusability: Create prompt libraries that can be shared and composed.
- Interoperability: Standard format enables tooling and automation.
Core Concepts
OPS defines prompts using a structured format that includes metadata, context, instructions, examples, and output specifications. This structured approach enables better prompt management and optimization.
