Prompt pipelines are structured sequences of prompts, logic, and decision steps that together drive a larger automated task. Each step builds on the last, and the pipeline routes between steps based on intermediate outputs.
Rather than relying on a single complex prompt to handle everything, a pipeline breaks the work into stages, making each stage more reliable and the overall process easier to debug and improve. When something goes wrong in a pipeline, the stage where it went wrong is identifiable. In a single monolithic prompt, it is not.
