Managing your AI assets becomes more complex as your collection grows. Promptitude now helps you visualize how your items connect, ensuring you can safely edit or delete elements without breaking your workflows.
This article explains how these relationships work and how to use this feature effectively.
💡 Why Item Relationships Matter
When you create prompts, assistants, or flows in Promptitude, you're often building with multiple components:
Snippets that provide reusable text
Tools that extend functionality
Folders containing reference materials
Other dependent elements
These connections create dependencies - relationships where changing one item might affect others. Understanding these relationships helps you:
Prevent disruptions to working systems
Track usage of your components
Manage changes more confidently
📌 How Promptitude Shows Relationships
Promptitude now displays relationship information in two key places:
When editing an item's details
When attempting to delete an item
For Active Creations
When working with prompts, assistants, or flows, you'll see:
Components used: Lists of snippets, tools, or folders these items depend on
Dependency warnings: Alerts about potential impacts when making changes
Usage context: How and where components are being utilized
For Complementary Tools
When managing snippets, tools, or storage folders, you'll see:
Usage locations: Lists of all prompts, assistants, or flows using this component
Impact assessment: Information about what might be affected by changes
Dependency counts: How many items rely on this component
✅ Benefits of Relationship Visibility
Safer editing: Make changes with confidence, knowing exactly what might be affected
Informed decisions: Understand the full impact before deleting any component
Better organization: See which components are most valuable based on usage
Reduced troubleshooting: Quickly identify dependency issues when something breaks
✏️ Best Practices for Managing Relationships
To make the most of this feature:
Review dependencies before deleting any item
Create descriptive names that make relationships easier to understand
Consider creating copies of heavily-used components before making significant changes
Regularly audit your unused components to keep your workspace organized
Understanding the relationships between your Promptitude items gives you greater control and confidence when managing your AI assets. By making these connections visible, Promptitude helps you maintain a robust workspace even as your collection of prompts, assistants, and other components grows.
With everything in view, you can focus on creating powerful AI solutions without worrying about accidentally breaking what already works.
