| Format | Extension | Best for | Metadata captured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Markdown | .md | Docs-style round-trip: write your prompts in an editor you already use and import. | Title from H1, content as body. No versions, no tags, no fragments. |
| Anthropic JSON | .json | Ingesting prompts from an Anthropic console export or the Messages API system + messages format. | System + user turns. No versions. |
| OpenAI JSON | .json | Ingesting ChatCompletion-style message arrays. | Role-tagged messages. No versions. |
| Raw text | .txt | Plain-text prompts with no structure. Fallback. | Content only. |
| Prompt Assay bundle | .json | Full-fidelity backup and restore, including versions, tags, fragments, and metadata. | Versions, tags, fragments, prompt type, target model, intent. Folder placement is not included. Re-imported prompts land at the root. |
Bundle = backup
Only the Prompt Assay bundle format preserves version history and fragment references. If you export as Markdown / Anthropic JSON / OpenAI JSON you get the current working copy and nothing else.
