Register canned-prompts under agents / practice (topic
c1d199b6-55ee-4db6-b49e-257a9f0f15ac, workplan prefix CANP-WP) via
`statehub register`, then replace the generated placeholders with
repo-specific facts.
- SCOPE.md: real boundaries drawn from INTENT.md's deliberate boundary,
current state (spec v0.1 + reference CLI, 3/3 tests pass, example
round-trips), and the developer workflow.
- AGENTS.md: drop the unresolved {CREDENTIAL_ROUTING} template token left
by the generator.
- CANP-WP-0001: bootstrap tasks closed.
- CANP-WP-0002: new workplan carrying the five § 23 open questions promoted
from "experience will decide" to "decide for v0.2" — optional-input
defaults (static or derived), registry namespaces/ownership, prompt
composition, canonical eval schemas, typed context/dependency contracts —
plus two reference-implementation conformance defects found in review
(prerelease versions sort as newest; copy_immutable packages the whole
source directory).
Also lands the previously untracked seed: INTENT.md, the CPF v0.1 spec,
the reference CLI, and examples/pqrst-estimate.

SCOPE
One-liner
Portable package format, spec and reference CLI for reusable prompt artifacts (Canned Prompt Format v0.1).
Core Idea
The valuable unit is not prompt text but a reusable prompt contract: a
filesystem-portable, provider-neutral package (prompt.yaml + prompt.md) that
declares its purpose, inputs, parameters, output, compatibility, provenance and
evidence, and is inspectable before use. See INTENT.md.
In Scope
CannedPromptFormat-v0.1.md— the package-format specification.reference/— a deliberately small Python CLI (add,search,show,render,install,publish) over a filesystem catalog and registry.examples/— real packages that exercise the format and the implementation.- Format evolution: manifest surface, rendering rules, validation rules, registry semantics, provenance and eval hooks.
Out of Scope
Per INTENT.md § Deliberate boundary — canned-prompts standardizes reusable
prompt artifacts, not agent execution:
- model execution, routing, billing, or authentication;
- agent runtimes, workflow/orchestration engines, memory systems;
- hosted or federated registries and network transport (v0.1 is filesystem-only);
- dependency resolution, semver range resolution, package signing;
- trust/reputation scoring and social features.
Thin execution adapters are permitted; a general runtime is not.
Current State
- Seed / experimental. Spec v0.1 is written; the reference CLI implements the
full local lifecycle and its 3 tests pass. One example package
(
examples/pqrst-estimate) round-trips add → search → show → render → publish → install. - The reference implementation is spec-conformant on the points it covers; the
known open design questions are tracked in
workplans/CANP-WP-0002-*.md.
Developer Workflow
cd reference
python3 -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
python3 -m pytest -q # tests
CANNED_PROMPTS_HOME=/tmp/cp \
python3 canned_prompts.py add ../examples/pqrst-estimate # smoke
There is no lint or build step yet; pyproject.toml declares the
canned-prompts console script but the module is normally run directly.
Getting Oriented
