Ask HN: How do you manage your AI prompts?

11 pointsby siddharthgoel886 months ago
Hello folks!<p>Do you guys use any tools&#x2F;process to your AI prompts? Or still prefer to keep it adhoc?

Depending on the use case and frequency, I either:<p>- Save them as a ChatGPT custom GPT or a Claude Project.<p>- Create a RayCast AI Command. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;manual.raycast.com&#x2F;ai">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;manual.raycast.com&#x2F;ai</a><p>- Save them as a text snippet in Obsidian notes. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;obsidian.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;obsidian.md</a>

Mostly plain text files saved locally for easy copy-pasting.<p>I&#x27;ll occassionally use prompts from the Anthropic library (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.anthropic.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;prompt-library&#x2F;library" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.anthropic.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;prompt-library&#x2F;library</a>) and make some minor modifications to them. E.g. I&#x27;ll modify the &quot;prose polisher&quot; prompt from the prompt library for refining written text in specific ways.

For ChatGPT I&#x27;ve found this search extension useful to find previously used prompts: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chromewebstore.google.com&#x2F;detail&#x2F;gpt-search-chat-history&#x2F;glhkbfoibolghhfikadjikgfmaknpelb?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chromewebstore.google.com&#x2F;detail&#x2F;gpt-search-chat-his...</a><p>Source code: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;polywock&#x2F;gpt-search">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;polywock&#x2F;gpt-search</a>

I keep it adhoc - models change so frequently that prompts are always broken all the time. Most of the ones I&#x27;ve used last year are no longer relevant.<p>&quot;Prompt engineering&quot; may be a thing of the past. These days, you can sketch a vague table on a piece of paper and take a photo of it with a phone, and AI will figure out exactly what you&#x27;re trying to do.

Maybe I&#x27;m hijacking, but I see a generalized problem - how do you keep snippets of text that you use in your browser?<p>My current kludge is to edit long fields of text in an external editor via a browser addon, and have the editor save all such edits locally.

I’m thinking of making a simple wrapper around APIs, because web-based AIs tend to dump literal tons of text due to monetary incentives. For now I prepend a standard pseudo-system stub to all my chats, works fine in my case.

Tired of OpenAI account deletions and Gemini template hiccups? Frustrated with manually typing or copy-pasting prompts every time you switch between LLM clients? If you&#x27;re like me and want a smoother way to manage your prompts, I built a tool that might be just what you need.<p>*The Problem:*<p>* OpenAI accounts can be deleted unexpectedly.<p>* Gemini templates sometimes fail to work.<p>* Re-typing or copy-pasting prompts across multiple clients is tedious.<p>*The Solution: DryPrompt*<p>DryPrompt lets you create reusable prompt templates with variable fields. You set up the framework once, and then simply fill in the variables to generate the full prompt.<p>*How It Works:*<p>1. *Go to:* dryprompt.go123.live<p>2. *Sign up:* It&#x27;s free and allows you to sync your prompts across devices.<p>3. *Create a template:* Define your prompt structure and mark the parts you want to change with variables.<p>4. *Use it:* Copy the template, replace the variables with your specific content, and you&#x27;ve got your ready-to-use prompt!<p>*Example:*<p>Let&#x27;s say you need to internationalize multiple code files. With DryPrompt, you can create a template that includes the file code as a variable. Each time, just copy the template, paste in the new file&#x27;s code, and you&#x27;ll instantly get the internationalization prompt. No more tedious copying and manual concatenation!<p>*Give it a try and make your LLM workflow more efficient:* dryprompt.go123.live
