Workflows

End-to-end guides showing how PromptKit components work together.

Overview

These workflows demonstrate complete development processes using multiple PromptKit components. Each workflow walks through a real-world scenario from start to finish.

Available Workflows

Development Workflow

Build and test an LLM application using Runtime, Arena, and PackC.

You’ll learn:

• Setting up a new project with Runtime
• Writing tests with PromptArena
• Packaging with PackC
• Local development iteration

Time: 30 minutes

Testing Workflow

Comprehensive testing strategy for LLM applications.

You’ll learn:

• Unit testing with SDK
• Integration testing with Runtime
• Evaluation testing with Arena
• CI/CD integration

Time: 45 minutes

Deployment Workflow

Deploy an LLM application to production.

You’ll learn:

• Packaging for deployment
• Configuration management
• Monitoring and observability
• Rollback strategies

Time: 60 minutes

Full-Stack Example

Complete application using all PromptKit components.

You’ll learn:

• Frontend integration
• Backend architecture
• State management
• Production best practices

Time: 90 minutes

When to Use Workflows

Use workflows when you:

• Want to see the big picture
• Need end-to-end guidance
• Are starting a new project
• Want to understand component interactions

Don’t use workflows when:

• You need specific component details → See component docs
• You want API reference → See Reference
• You have a specific task → See How-To Guides

Component Overview

PromptKit has four main components:

Runtime

• Core library for building LLM applications
• Pipeline-based architecture
• Multi-provider support
• Production-ready features

SDK

• Higher-level abstractions
• Simplified conversation management
• Quick prototyping
• Built on Runtime

PromptArena

• Testing and evaluation tool
• Automated testing
• Provider comparison
• Quality assurance

PackC

• Prompt packaging tool
• Version control for prompts
• Template management
• Distribution format

How Components Work Together

Development → Testing → Packaging → Deployment

1. Build with Runtime/SDK
   ├── Write application code
   ├── Configure providers
   └── Implement features

2. Test with PromptArena
   ├── Write test cases
   ├── Run evaluations
   └── Compare providers

3. Package with PackC
   ├── Create .pack files
   ├── Version prompts
   └── Manage templates

4. Deploy
   ├── Ship to production
   ├── Monitor performance
   └── Iterate
