There is already the .prompt.yaml format (https://docs.github.com/en/github-models/use-github-models/s...) from github, which is also Microsoft. Would be great to see some standard evolving.

it is concerning that Microsoft didn't provide SDK for its own C#/.Net regarding this new technology, only nodejs and python, which says alot!

It just says the current agent ecosystem is focused on python and javascript stacks?

With all these languages for writing better prompts, are we going to end up coming full circle?

XML? how is this not just XML with a schema?

Does XML allow you to define for-loops inside items then reference the loop variables inside {{template vars}}? https://youtu.be/b9WDcFsKixo?t=223

I guess it doesn't prevent you from doing such things, but... well... there's some eyebrow-raising shoehorning in this one.

Microsoft doesn't even use their own SDK for their apps anymore, it's all electron.

Yeah. I judge the maturity by that. If there's only a javascript/node and python sdk, that means I'll stay far away from it for the time being.
