Prompt saving

We are interested in learning more about how you treat the prompts you use when working with AI. Thinking about the tasks that have some complexity (for example, refactoring a code base, adding tests, or writing documentation) how do you store the prompts used? (please select all that apply)

• Checked into version control: The prompt itself is explicitly checked into version control (for example, Git) as a distinct file or asset (for example, in a prompts/ directory, or in .txt/.prompt file).
• Don't save: I don't save the prompt, or my usage of AI doesn't involve prompts that would warrant saving.
• Embedded in version controlled artifacts: The prompt (or its essence) is documented within artifacts that are version controlled (for example, in code comments, commit messages, issue descriptions, or project documentation like READMEs)
• Not applicable
• Personal files: I save it in a personal local file (for example, .txt, .md) or a personal note-taking app (for example, Obsidian, Notion, Apple Notes).
• Shared team docs: I save it in a shared team space like a wiki, Google Doc, Confluence page, or shared drive

  Never Sometimes About half the time Most of the time Always I don't give AI complex problems or not applicable
• When you interact with AI for your work, which of these best reflects the role you expect it to play?
  It delivers more comprehensive answers than a standard search tool. I assign and delegate straightforward tasks that require my direct oversight and review. I interact with it in a back-and-forth way to jointly develop ideas or solutions. It primarily executes predefined repetitive tasks with minimal ongoing intervention from me. It primarily serves to explain concepts and help me learn new material. I consult it for in-depth knowledge or solutions on highly specialized or complex topics.

Psychological ownership
