The record

What it does: Apastra is a file-based PromptOps framework and skill pack for versioning prompts and evaluating agent instructions.
Prompt versioning: Prompt specs are YAML files with stable IDs, variable schemas, and output contracts that can be versioned in Git.
Regression checks: Apastra compares evaluation results with baselines to help catch quality regressions before shipping.
Evaluation approach: Apastra validates evaluation evidence and recomputes scorecard means, while a user-controlled adapter executes the model calls.
Model adapter limit: The README says Apastra does not yet ship a production provider adapter, so users bring their own executable harness.
Integrations: The docs describe optional GitHub Actions workflows for regression gating, promotion, and immutable releases.
Agent compatibility: The docs name Claude, Cursor, Amp, and Codex as IDE agents that can run Apastra workflows.
Install options: The README documents installation by Git clone or npm, with setup actions controlled by opt-in flags.
Local-first design: Apastra says it can run without a hosted service, telemetry sink, hidden database, or CI infrastructure.
Request logging: Optional provider request logging stores complete request bodies locally; it is disabled by default and does not persist authentication headers or upload logs.
Logging retention: The request-logging setup offers a rolling retention policy of seven days or 250 MB, which users can change.
License: The project is licensed under Apache-2.0.
Who it is for: The getting-started guide identifies developers, platform teams, and agents as its audience.
