The prompts file gets versioned, reviewed, and debugged. Because it is software.
Every AI video episode ships with a versioned, reviewed prompts file. Shots 7–12 came out landscape — bug report: missing "Vertical 9:16" per shot; root cause, assumed context inheritance. Patched same day, lesson filed in team notes. "It's just prompts" is how you get a pipeline that works on Tuesdays. Once a prompt file decides what hundreds see, it's production software. Version it, review the diff, write the postmortem. What part of your "not real code" is actually production?

Every AI video episode ships with a prompts file — versioned, reviewed, debugged like source code. When shots 7–12 came out landscape, that was a bug report: missing "Vertical 9:16" in the shot prompts. Root cause: assumed context inheritance. Fix: explicit constraints per shot. The process got patched the same day, and the lesson went into the team's notes, not just my memory. "But it's just prompts" is how you get a pipeline that works on Tuesdays. The moment a prompt file determines what hundreds of people see, it is production software with extra steps. Version it. Review the diff before a render batch. Write the postmortem. The industry treats prompting as incantation and engineering as real work. That distinction is already dead — it just hasn't been buried yet. What part of your "not real code" is actually production?
