# canned-prompts reference CLI
This is intentionally a **small reference implementation**, not the intended final architecture.
It demonstrates six verbs:
```text
add PATH
search QUERY
show ID
render ID --set key=value
install ID [--version VERSION]
publish PATH
```
The implementation uses a local catalog plus a filesystem registry and performs no model calls.
## Stores
Default locations:
```text
~/.canned-prompts/catalog
~/.canned-prompts/registry
```
Catalog and registry both store packages as:
```text
<store>/<id path>/<version>/...
```
For example:
```text
~/.canned-prompts/catalog/practice/pqrst-estimate/0.1.0/
```
## Design choices
- YAML manifest via PyYAML.
- `{{ name }}` template substitution only.
- No arbitrary expression/code execution.
- Published versions are immutable by default.
- `install` copies from registry to catalog.
- `add` copies a package directly to catalog.
- `search`, `show`, and `render` operate on catalog packages.
Use this implementation to challenge the format. Replace it once real usage reveals the right architecture.
