# 🚀 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.
