Prompt Artifacts

This directory stores transcription prompts as individual Markdown artifacts.

Conventions

• Keep one prompt per file.
• Use stable, descriptive snake_case file names.
• Store prompt files directly in this directory; nested paths are rejected.
• Prefer incremental edits to a single prompt per change for clean history.
• Keep prompts human-readable and policy-focused.
• Do not store secrets in prompt files.
• Runtime jobs snapshot prompt text, SHA-256 provenance, and sampling configuration.

Current Prompt

• transcribe_document.md: baseline verbatim transcription policy for historical documents.
