+## YAML Representation
+It can be useful to represent prompts as standalone files, versus code. This can allow easy swapping between different prompts, prompt versioning, and other advanced capabiliites.

See `examples/yaml-examples` for examples of YAML prompts and how they're loaded into prompt-engine.
