Two defects from the original review of the seed. Prerelease ordering was worse than first recorded. parse_semver returned (major, minor, patch, raw_string), so 1.0.0-rc1 and 1.0.0 tied on the numeric fields and then compared as strings — "1.0.0-rc1" > "1.0.0". A release candidate therefore shadowed its own release for `newest` and for `>=`, not just for the no-version case. parse_semver now returns a SemVer section 11 precedence key: numeric fields, a release/prerelease rank, then dot-separated prerelease identifiers with numeric ones compared numerically. Build metadata is ignored. Beyond ordering, prereleases are excluded from `any`, `newest` and `>=` entirely; only an exact pin selects one, so publishing a release candidate never changes what existing consumers resolve to. A package holding only prereleases now says so rather than reporting a bare not-found. Packaging copied the whole source directory, so a stray .git, virtualenv or scratch file landed in the catalog and registry. Section 2 already required otherwise — tools MUST ignore unknown non-reserved files unless a manifest field references them — so this is conformance rather than a new rule. What is new is that omissions are reported instead of silent: not packaged (not a reserved path, not referenced by the manifest): .git/, .venv/, notes.txt LICENSE joins the reserved paths. Strict packaging would otherwise drop a package's license text while faithfully copying its `license` field, which contradicts section 14's instruction to surface licensing on publish and install. Spec: 2 (LICENSE, packaging obligation, reporting), 17.1 new, 10.3 note. Reference CLI: parse_semver rewritten with is_prerelease; select_version and pick_version updated; copy_package and report_skipped replace copy_immutable. Tests 65 -> 78. examples/pqrst-estimate carries a LICENSE and a license field, exercising the new reserved path. Also fixes a leaked loop variable in package_members that would have reported a bad `template` path as an `evals` error.

# canned-prompts reference CLI
|
|
|
|
This is intentionally a **small reference implementation**, not the intended final architecture.
|
|
|
|
It demonstrates eight verbs:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
add PATH
|
|
search QUERY
|
|
show ID
|
|
resolve ID --set key=value
|
|
render ID --set key=value
|
|
eval ID
|
|
install ID [--version VERSION]
|
|
publish PATH
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The implementation uses a local catalog plus a filesystem registry and performs no model calls.
|
|
|
|
`resolve` and `render` are separate because the specification separates them
|
|
(§ 5.1): resolution decides each value and may be non-deterministic, rendering
|
|
substitutes and always is. `resolve` prints where every value came from —
|
|
supplied, default, or fallback — before any prompt is produced.
|
|
|
|
## Stores
|
|
|
|
Default locations:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
~/.canned-prompts/catalog
|
|
~/.canned-prompts/registry
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A **registry** stores packages flat, because an id is unambiguous within one
|
|
registry:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
<registry>/<id path>/<version>/...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A **catalog** is namespaced by registry, because identity is registry-scoped
|
|
(§ 3.2) and the same id may be installed from more than one place:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
<catalog>/<registry name>/<id path>/<version>/...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
~/.canned-prompts/catalog/house/practice/pqrst-estimate/0.1.0/
|
|
~/.canned-prompts/catalog/local/practice/pqrst-estimate/0.1.0/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A registry's name comes from its optional `registry.yaml`, and otherwise from
|
|
its directory basename. `add` takes a package from a path rather than a
|
|
registry, so it files it under `local` (override with `--as`).
|
|
|
|
Commands that take an ID accept a bare id or a qualified `<registry>:<id>`.
|
|
A bare id installed from more than one registry is reported as ambiguous
|
|
rather than resolved by guessing.
|
|
|
|
## Design choices
|
|
|
|
- YAML manifest via PyYAML.
|
|
- `{{ name }}` template substitution only.
|
|
- No arbitrary expression/code execution.
|
|
- Published versions are immutable by default.
|
|
- `add`, `publish` and `install` copy only reserved paths and manifest-
|
|
referenced files. A working directory's `.git`, virtualenv or scratch files
|
|
never ship; whatever is left out is named on stderr.
|
|
- Version precedence follows SemVer: a prerelease ranks below its release, and
|
|
`any`, `newest` and `>=` skip prereleases entirely. Only an exact pin
|
|
selects one.
|
|
- `install` copies from registry to catalog.
|
|
- `add` copies a package directly to catalog.
|
|
- `search`, `show`, `resolve`, and `render` operate on catalog packages, and
|
|
print qualified `<registry>:<id>` references.
|
|
- `include` defaults are satisfied (inclusion is deterministic); `derive`
|
|
defaults are reported, not run. Inclusion cycles are detected and named.
|
|
- `eval` runs the deterministic render checks of any eval declaring the
|
|
`canned-prompts/eval-rubric/v0.1` schema, and reports output criteria as
|
|
declared but not run. Unrecognized schemas are skipped, not rejected. A
|
|
failed render check exits non-zero.
|
|
- `resolve` lists required capabilities and context dependencies, which this
|
|
tool cannot verify, rather than implying it checked them.
|
|
- An optional `registry.yaml` names a registry and records namespace claims.
|
|
`publish` warns when a namespace is declared `closed` — it cannot
|
|
authenticate a publisher, and says so rather than implying it checked.
|
|
- Static input defaults are applied; **derived** defaults (§ 6.1) are not. This
|
|
tool never calls a model, so a derived default is satisfied only by its
|
|
static fallback `value`. Without one, `resolve` reports the input as
|
|
unresolved and `render` refuses rather than substituting empty text.
|
|
|
|
Use this implementation to challenge the format. Replace it once real usage reveals the right architecture.
