+ # Protologue: a taxonomy of prompting and LLM techniques
28
+
29
+ [Protologue](https://protologue.com) is an openly licensed reference for the vocabulary of prompting and large language model techniques. Each entry has a permanent identifier, a standalone one-to-two-sentence definition, synonyms, broader, narrower and related links, and the primary source that introduced the technique.
30
+
31
+ This dataset mirrors version 1.0.0 (2026-10-11): **101 techniques** in **10 branches**, citing **98 primary sources**. Every arXiv citation was checked against the paper.
32
+
33
+ ## Configurations
34
+
35
+ - `terms` (default): one row per technique.
36
+ - `categories`: the 10 branches and the techniques in each.
37
+
38
+ ## Fields (`terms`)
39
+
40
+ | Field | Description |
41
+ |---|---|
42
+ | `id` | Permanent identifier, e.g. `PTL-0024`. Never reused. |
43
+ | `slug` | URL slug; links in `broader`, `narrower` and `related` use slugs. |
44
+ | `term` | Preferred name. |
45
+ | `aliases` | Synonyms and alternate names. |
46
+ | `category` | Branch of the taxonomy. |
47
+ | `definition` | Standalone definition, quotable on its own. |
48
+ | `description` | Context, limitations and relations. |
49
+ | `example` | Illustrative prompt, where useful. |
50
+ | `broader`, `narrower`, `related` | Links to other entries (SKOS semantics). |
51
+ | `introduced` | Year the technique was introduced. |
52
+ | `sources` | Primary sources: title, authors, year, url. The first is the type source. |
53
+ | `url` | Canonical page on protologue.com. |
54
+ | `citation` | Ready-made citation for the entry. |
55
+
56
+ ## Usage
57
+
58
+ ```python
59
+ from datasets import load_dataset
60
+ terms = load_dataset("franklinpolymathic/protologue", "terms", split="train")
61
+ print(terms[0]["term"], "-", terms[0]["definition"])
62
+ ```
63
+
64
+ The same data is available live as JSON, CSV and SKOS at <https://protologue.com/data/>, and through a free MCP server for AI agents at `https://mcp.protologue.com/mcp` (see <https://protologue.com/mcp/>).
