Prompt Utilities

Bundled prompt guide files for AI coding assistants are stored in asset/prompt/*.md and asset/prompt/*.yaml. These utilities let you list, read, and copy them into your project. Use them together with the MCP Server for the richest AI integration, or stand-alone for manual context injection.

Example

import dartwork_mpl as dm

# List available guides
available = dm.list_prompts()
# ['00-index', '01-policy', '02-anti-patterns', '03-recipes']

# Read guide content
content = dm.get_prompt("02-anti-patterns")

# Copy to IDE folder
dm.copy_prompt("01-policy", ".cursor/rules/")

# Get the file path directly
print(dm.prompt_path("00-index"))

API

dartwork_mpl.prompt_path(name: str) → Path

Get the absolute path to a prompt guide file.

Parameters:

name (str) – Name of the prompt guide to retrieve (e.g., '00-index', '01-policy', '02-anti-patterns', '03-recipes').

Returns:

Path to the prompt guide file.

Return type:

Path

Raises:

ValueError – If the specified guide cannot be found in the library.

dartwork_mpl.get_prompt(name: str) → str

Read a prompt guide file and return its full content as a string.

Parameters:

name (str) – Name of the prompt guide to read.

Returns:

The content of the prompt guide.

Return type:

str

dartwork_mpl.list_prompts() → list[str]

List the bundled prompt guide files.

The canonical corpus is exactly four entries — 00-index, 01-policy, 02-anti-patterns (YAML), 03-recipes — plus the 05-templates/ subdirectory listed separately. If extra supported prompt files appear (stale leftovers, an in-progress addition, etc.), this function still returns them but emits a UserWarning so drift surfaces immediately.

Returns:

Sorted list of available prompt guide names.

Return type:

list[str]

dartwork_mpl.copy_prompt(name: str, destination: str | Path) → Path

Copy a bundled prompt guide file to the specified destination.

Parameters:

• name (str) – Name of the prompt guide to copy.

• destination (str | Path) – Destination path. If a directory, the file is copied with its original name and real extension. If a file path, that name is used.

Returns:

Absolute path of the newly copied file.

Return type:

Path

Raises:

ValueError – If the source prompt guide cannot be found.
