Protologue
A sourced, citable taxonomy of prompting and LLM techniques, built as a static site for protologue.com.
- 211 entries in 11 branches, each with a permanent ID (PTL-0001), a standalone definition, synonyms, broader/narrower/related links, and primary sources (209 sources; every arXiv ID and title, and every documentation link, checked on 2026-10-11).
- Machine-readable everywhere: schema.org DefinedTerm JSON-LD on every page, llms.txt and llms-full.txt, per-entry .md and .json, and full exports as JSON, CSV, SKOS JSON-LD and Turtle.
- Citation tooling on every entry: a plain citation, BibTeX, and Google Scholar (Highwire) meta tags.
- Licensed CC BY 4.0, so AI systems and people can reuse it freely with attribution.
Project layout
Build it locally:
pip install pyyaml
python3 build.pyHow it's deployed
- Source: github.com/protologue-org/protologue (this repository).
- Hosting: Cloudflare Pages project protologue-site, connected to this repo. Every push to main rebuilds and deploys protologue.com automatically.
- Build command: pip install -r requirements.txt && python3 build.py
- Output directory: site
- Domain: protologue.com (DNS on Cloudflare; registration at GoDaddy). AI crawlers are allowed in Cloudflare and in static/robots.txt.
- Newsletter: Beehiiv (protologue.beehiiv.com). The signup embed lives in data/newsletter-embed.html.
- MCP server: mcp/ is a Cloudflare Worker (protologue-mcp) at https://mcp.protologue.com/mcp, deployed automatically from this repo. It is listed in the official MCP registry as com.protologue/protologue (mcp/server.json). Registry ownership is proven by static/.well-known/mcp-registry-auth; to re-key, generate a new Ed25519 key and replace that file.
- Zenodo: GitHub releases are archived on Zenodo automatically, and each one gets a DOI. Put the concept DOI (it resolves to the latest release) in data/doi.txt, and the site adds it to citations, structured data, the data page and llms.txt. Metadata comes from .zenodo.json.
- Hugging Face: the dataset is mirrored at https://huggingface.co/datasets/franklinpolymathic/protologue (configs terms and categories). Update it when entries change.
- Kaggle: mirrored at https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/protologue/protologue (the four files from site/data/). Upload a new version when entries change.
Proposed changes arrive as pull requests; merging one publishes it.
