In one sentence
Prompt libraries explained: a team’s shared, tested prompts for recurring tasks — the easiest way to make AI use consistent.
Example
A documentation team keeps prompts for “release note to customer summary,” “alt text for screenshots” and “terminology check” in its wiki, each with an owner and a test example.
