Why pim?

Instructions as Code

Define your instructions once in a dedicated repository, then reuse them across multiple projects. Keep your AI prompts version-controlled, reviewable, and maintainable just like your code.

Modular Instruction Management

Split large instruction files into smaller, focused components. pim automatically merges and concatenates them into a single file, making complex prompt systems easier to maintain.

Subscribe to External Prompt Libraries

Pull instructions and prompts from external repositories like github/awesome-copilot. Stay up-to-date with community best practices and organizational standards.

Enterprise Governance

Perfect for organizations managing multiple repositories. Centralize prompt governance, ensure consistency across teams, and maintain compliance with organizational standards.

Works With All Major AI Coding Tools

PIM is compatible with all major AI coding assistants, making it the perfect solution for managing prompts and instructions across your entire development workflow.

Use Cases

Reusable Instructions Across Projects

Create a central repository of prompts and reuse them across multiple projects. Define organization-wide standards once and distribute them to all teams.

# In each project's pim.yaml

  - name: org-prompts
    url: github.com/myorg/ai-prompts

targets:
  - name: copilot-instructions
    output: .github/copilot-instructions.md
    include:
      - "@org-prompts/prompts/code-review.md"
      - "@org-prompts/prompts/documentation.md"

Modular Instruction Files

Split complex instructions into maintainable components that PIM merges automatically. Keep your prompts organized and easy to update.

Create a directory and add your prompt files:

mkdir -p prompts
echo "You are a helpful coding assistant." > prompts/system.txt
echo "Always write clean, well-documented code." > prompts/user.txt

3. create configuration

Create a pim.yaml file:

version: 1

targets:
  - name: prompts
    output: .github/copilot-instructions.md
    include:
      - "prompts/system.txt"
