Prompt Library (JSONL)
A reusable prompt library in JSON Lines — 20 templated prompts for summarization, translation, extraction, code, and more, each with a task label, tags, and {curly-brace} placeholders. A fixture for prompt-management tools and JSONL parsers.

What is a .jsonl file?
JSONL (JSON Lines) is a text format where each line is a complete, independent JSON value, allowing records to be streamed and appended without parsing the whole file. It is not itself a JSON array and each line must stand alone. It is common in logging, machine learning datasets, and data pipelines.
How to use this file
Use an example JSONL to test line-by-line streaming parsers, append-and-resume ingestion, and batch pipelines that process one record per line.
How to use this file for testing
“Prompt Library (JSONL)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Prompt engineering, NLP datasets, JSON parsing. A templated prompt library in JSON Lines with tasks, tags, and placeholders — for testing prompt-management tools and JSONL parsers.
Documented properties for this file: schema: id, task, prompt, tags[]. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
AI/ML fixtures are fully synthetic with documented schemas — no real people or data. Test data loaders, tokenizers, annotation converters, embedding/vector stores, or eval-metric parsers against the known structure and fixed seeds.

rows = [json.loads(line) for line in f]
