Then there's the question of how do other developers contribute to the code. They don't have your prompts, they just have the code.
So, no, prompts are not source code, that's why I ask for people to just show the code they are producing and nobody ever does.
I also make my design documents (roughly the prompts generated by the prompts) into committed markdown documents. So I show the second-tier prompts at least, you could consider those an intermediate language representation if you like.

I usually try to commit the initial prompts and adjustments. I don't commit trivial things like "That's not quite right, try doing X again" or "Just run the entire test suite"

Hard disagree, but that's fine.
