Every product should work before sale, include a precise PDF manual, explain what problem it solves, and avoid duplicating existing marketplace products.
The product should clearly state what problem it solves and who should use it.
Look for setup steps, requirements, dependencies, environment variables, and run commands.
Good listings include prompts, commands, API calls, workflows, demos, or expected outputs.
Product specification
Eliminate prompt regression risks and validate logic changes in seconds without overhead.
Developers often optimize prompts for speed but inadvertently break data formatting or tone, with regression errors occurring in up to 25% of iterative updates. Heavy, paid tools like `shadcn/improve` audit the *code* that calls the LLM, but they fail to validate the *prompt logic* itself, leaving a critical gap where a single word change in a system prompt can break your entire production pipeline.
This tool solves that by acting as a zero-config, single-file Python CLI regression harness. It rigorously audits your prompt logic by executing a JSON test suite of inputs and expected outputs directly against your LLM endpoint. By running parallel validation checks, it ensures that a new "optimized" system prompt maintains strict adherence to data contracts and behavioral standards before you ever deploy.
What's included:
- Zero-config Single-file CLI -- Instantly deployable without dependency hell or complex setup environments.
- Targeted Prompt Auditing -- Validates `--prompt-file` logic directly, unlike generic code auditors that miss LLM nuance.
- JSON Test Suite Integration -- Uses `--test-suite` to define precise input:expected_output pairs for structured verification.
- Universal Endpoint Support -- Connects to any API URL via `--endpoint`, supporting OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models.
- Parallel Execution Engine -- Reduces validation time by up to 80% by processing multiple test cases simultaneously.
Who this is for:
Developers, founders, and growth teams managing production-grade LLM applications who cannot afford "silent drift" in their model's behavior. This is specifically for technical teams who need to ensure that prompt engineering for cost or latency reduction does not sacrifice output consistency or introduce formatting errors.
Real example:
Before: A founder updated the system persona to be more "concise" to reduce token usage, causing 15% of JSON responses to drop required fields, breaking downstream ingestion. After: Running the harness with `--test-suite` caught the schema mismatch in 12 seconds, allowing for a prompt fix that saved costs without breaking data contracts.
What you'll achieve:
- Zero-downtime prompt deployments with guaranteed logic integrity
- 80% reduction in QA time through automated parallel testing
- Immediate detection of output formatting or hallucination regressions

========================================
A zero-config, production-grade CLI tool designed to detect model drift and
regression when iterating on LLM system prompts. It executes a test suite
against a candidate prompt and a baseline prompt (or cached history) in parallel,
analyzes outputs using regex/keyword assertions, and calculates token costs.
Features:
---------
1. Parallel execution for rapid feedback loops.
2. Intelligent assertion engine (sub-string and regex support).
3. Automatic baseline handling (file-based or cached).
4. Cost estimation using heuristic token counting.
5. Markdown reporting with specific focus on 'Regressions'.
Usage Examples:
--------------
# Basic regression test against a baseline file
python llm_harness.py \\
--prompt-file src/prompts/v2.txt \\
--test-suite fixtures/sentiment_tests.json \\
--endpoint https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions
