PromptSource is a Python toolkit and repository for creating, sharing, and applying natural language prompts to Hugging Face datasets. It hosts the P3 collection of thousands of community-contributed prompt templates written in Jinja, usable via a simple API.

Use cases

• apply natural language prompts to NLP datasets
• create and share prompt templates for multitask fine-tuning
• build zero-shot or few-shot evaluation prompts for language models
• browse existing prompts for datasets like SNLI or ag_news
• generate prompt-based training data for models like T0

When to choose

• you need a large existing pool of English prompt templates for Hugging Face datasets
• you are doing multitask prompt-based fine-tuning research
• you want a structured Jinja-based format for defining dataset prompts

When to avoid

• you need prompts for production LLM applications rather than dataset-based research
• you require actively maintained tooling or recent Python version support
• you need multilingual prompt coverage beyond the English-focused P3 collection
