PromptPack Ecosystem
PromptPack is a specification, not a product or framework. The ecosystem consists of the spec itself and tools that work with it.
Core Components
PromptPack Specification
Status: ✅ v1.4 Available Repository: altairalabs/promptpack-spec
The open specification defining the JSON format for packaging AI agent behavior — from multi-prompt routers to autonomous agent loops. Includes:
- Complete schema definition
- RFC process for evolution
- Documentation and examples
- Governance model
PromptKit Toolkit
Status: ✅ Available Now Separate Project: Related but independent
The reference toolkit for loading, executing, testing, and compiling PromptPacks. Ships:
promptarenaCLI — multi-provider testing, red-team scenarios, CI/CD reportspackcCLI — compile workspace config into portable.pack.jsonartifacts- Go runtime for executing packs with workflows, agent loops, tools, and skills
- GitHub Actions for CI/CD integration
npm install -g @altairalabs/promptarena @altairalabs/packc
PromptArena Testing
Status: ✅ Available Now Part of: PromptKit toolkit
CLI tool for systematic testing of agent behavior across multiple providers:
- Multi-provider comparison (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
- Multi-turn conversation testing
- Multimodal content testing (images, audio, video)
- Self-play mode for realistic simulations
- Comprehensive reporting (HTML, JSON, JUnit, Markdown)
- CI/CD integration

- PromptKit: Reference toolkit — shipped and actively maintained by AltairaLabs
- PromptArena: Testing CLI shipped as part of the PromptKit toolkit
Community Tools
As PromptPack adoption grows, the community is building compatible tools and integrations.
Official Integrations
LangChain.js Integration
Status: ✅ Available Now
Package: @promptpack/langchain
Repository: altairalabs/promptpack-langchainjs
Native LangChain.js integration for loading and using PromptPacks with LangChain. Features:
- 🎯 Prompt Registry - Load and manage PromptPacks from JSON/YAML
- 🔧 Tool Integration - Built-in tool calling with governance policies
- ✅ Validation - Response validation and guardrails
- 🔄 LangChain Native - Seamless integration with LangChain templates
- 📦 Type Safe - Full TypeScript support
Installation:
npm install @promptpack/langchain
Quick Example:
import { PromptPackRegistry, PromptPackTemplate } from '@promptpack/langchain';
import { ChatOpenAI } from '@langchain/openai';
// Load the pack
const pack = PromptPackRegistry.loadFromFile('./customer-support.json');
// Create a template
const template = new PromptPackTemplate({
pack,
promptId: 'support',
});
// Use with LangChain
const model = new ChatOpenAI({ modelName: 'gpt-4' });
const chain = template.pipe(model);
// Invoke with variables
const response = await chain.invoke({
role: 'helpful support agent',
company: 'TechCorp',
issue_type: 'billing',
});
Additional Community Tools
As the ecosystem grows, we expect more community-contributed tools including:
- Alternative runtimes in different languages
- Framework integrations (LlamaIndex, Transformers)
- IDE plugins and extensions
- Deployment tools and platforms
- Monitoring and observability solutions
Want to build PromptPack tooling? The specification is open—anyone can build compatible tools. See our Contributing Guide to get involved.
Planned Integrations
LLM Providers
- OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-3.5)
- Anthropic (Claude)
- Google (Gemini)
- Azure OpenAI
- Local models (Ollama, LM Studio)
Orchestration Frameworks
- ✅ LangChain.js adapter (available now - see above)
- LlamaIndex adapter (proposal in backlog)
- Transformers adapter (proposal in backlog)
- Custom framework integrations
Development Tools
- VS Code Extension
- CLI validation and linting tools
- Testing frameworks
- CI/CD pipeline integrations
Integration Philosophy
PromptPack is a file format specification, not an implementation. It defines how to structure prompts, tools, and workflows in a standardized JSON format. The specification does NOT include LLM provider SDKs, API integrations, or hosted services.
Any tool can implement PromptPack support by:
- Reading PromptPack JSON files
- Validating against the JSON Schema
- Building their own runtime/execution engine
- Implementing their own provider integrations
Future Plans
The PromptPack ecosystem roadmap includes:
- Growing the compatible tools ecosystem
- Additional framework adapters (LlamaIndex, Transformers)
- Pack registry / PromptPack Hub for community sharing
- Continued specification evolution via RFC process
We're in the early stages of building an ecosystem. Join us in shaping it.
