What is PRPM?

PRPM (Prompt Package Manager) is like npm, but for AI prompts. It lets you discover, test, and install pre-built prompts, rules, and skills for AI coding assistants.

The Problem PRPM Solves

✗Copy-pasting prompts from GitHub gists

✗Maintaining separate configs for different AI tools

✗No way to test prompts before installing

✗Manual updates when prompts improve

What You Get

✓7,000+ packages - Battle-tested prompts and rules

✓Test before install - Use the Playground with real AI models

✓Universal format - Works with Cursor, Claude, Continue, Windsurf & more

✓Easy updates - One command to update all packages

Installation

Install the PRPM CLI globally using npm:

$ npm install -g prpm

Verify the installation:

$ prpm --version

Discovering Packages

There are three ways to find packages:

1. Browse the Web Registry

Recommended for beginners. Browse all packages with full descriptions, README files, and the actual prompt contents.

Browse Packages

2. Search from CLI

Quick searches when you know what you're looking for.

$ prpm search typescript

$ prpm search "test driven development"

$ prpm trending

3. Browse Collections

Curated bundles of packages for common workflows. Install multiple packages at once.

$ prpm collections

$ prpm collections search frontend

View all collections →

Testing Packages in the Playground

The Playground lets you test any package with real AI models (Claude, GPT-4, etc.) before installing.

How It Works

1.Enter your test input (e.g., "Review this code")

2.Choose an AI model (Claude Sonnet, GPT-4, etc.)

3.See how the package's prompts guide the AI's response

4.Optionally use comparison mode to see with/without the package

Testing on the Web

On any package page, click the "Test in Playground" button to try it instantly.

Try the Playground

Testing from CLI

$ prpm playground --package @user/code-reviewer --input "Review this: console.log(x)"

Interactive mode for multi-turn conversations:

$ prpm playground --package @user/brainstorm-assistant --interactive

Comparison mode (with vs without package):

$ prpm playground --package @user/typescript-helper --input "Explain generics" --compare

Installing Packages

Once you've reviewed and tested a package, installing is simple:

Auto-Detect Format

Let PRPM detect your editor automatically:

$ prpm install @username/typescript-rules

PRPM checks for .cursor/, .claude/, .continue/, etc. and installs to the right place.

Specify Format

Or explicitly choose your editor:

$ prpm install @username/typescript-rules --as cursor

$ prpm install @username/typescript-rules --as claude

$ prpm install @username/typescript-rules --as windsurf

Install Collections

Install multiple packages at once with collections:

$ prpm install collection/nextjs-pro

This installs 5+ packages: React best practices, TypeScript rules, Tailwind helpers, Next.js patterns, and component architecture.
