AI Prompt Template Builder
Build reusable prompt templates with named variables. Fill in the variables on each run, get the final prompt. Save templates locally and copy in seconds.
Why Prompt Templates Beat Pasting from Notes
Anyone who uses an LLM more than once a week ends up keeping a notes file of working prompts. The friction is the variable parts — the topic, the audience, the tone, the format — that change every time. Pasting the template and hand-editing those slots is error-prone (you forget to update one), slow (you re-read the whole thing every run), and impossible to share without sending someone the unfilled template and hoping they substitute correctly. This tool gives a prompt template a real form. Variables are declared with `{{name}}` syntax in the template body; the tool detects them, builds a fill-in form, and renders the final prompt with substitutions. Save templates locally; nothing leaves the browser.
How the Builder Works
Write your template in the left panel using `{{variable_name}}` for any field you want to fill in at runtime — for example, `Summarize {{topic}} in {{paragraphs}} paragraphs for an audience of {{audience}}.` The parser scans the template, identifies each variable, and generates a form in the right panel with one labeled input per variable. Type values into the form; the assembled prompt updates live in the output area below. Copy the result to your clipboard, paste into Claude, GPT, Gemini, or any other model. Templates persist in your browser's local storage between sessions, listed by name in the sidebar. Export a template as JSON to share with a colleague; import their JSON to load it. No accounts, no syncing, no telemetry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a template rather than just retyping each time?+
Two reasons. Consistency — every run uses the same framing, so you can compare outputs without wondering whether you accidentally changed the prompt. Speed — refining the template once is faster than refining 30 individual prompts. The trade-off is upfront effort, which pays off after a few runs.
What variable syntax does the tool use?+
Double curly braces, like `{{topic}}` or `{{target_audience}}`. Names can use letters, digits, and underscores. The parser ignores text inside backticks or code fences, so you can include literal curly-brace examples in your template.
Are my templates uploaded anywhere?+
No. Templates save to your browser's local storage. They never leave your machine unless you choose to export them as JSON and share the file.
What happens if I switch browsers?+
Local storage is browser-specific. To move templates, use the Export button to download them as JSON, then Import into the other browser. Two-machine workflow: keep the JSON file in your cloud drive.
Can a variable appear more than once in a template?+
Yes — repeat `{{name}}` anywhere in the template and the same value substitutes into every occurrence. The form input appears only once even when the variable is used multiple times.
Does the tool send prompts to an LLM directly?+
No. It builds the prompt text only — you copy and paste into whichever model you use. Keeping it model-agnostic means templates work everywhere and no API keys are involved.
What if I want a variable to have a default value?+
Use `{{name=default}}` syntax — the form pre-fills with `default` and you can override on each run. Useful for things like `{{tone=neutral}}` where most runs share a default.
How is this different from copying prompt text from a notes app?+
The notes-app workflow requires you to manually find each variable and edit it correctly every run, which is the part most likely to introduce errors. This tool surfaces variables as form inputs so you cannot accidentally leave one un-substituted.
