# Blogus

> Blogus is a Python CLI plus library that extracts prompts from your codebase, versions them in .prompt files, and pins each one with a sha256 hash in a prompts.lock file. The tagline is "package.lock for AI prompts." Built by Skelf-Research, MIT licensed, published to PyPI as `blogus`.

Blogus is a build-time tool. It does not run as a service, it does not sit between your application and the model, and it does not collect production traces. It exists to make sure the prompt that ships is the prompt that was reviewed, by giving prompts the same lockfile-and-verify discipline that source dependencies already have.
