Prompt Library

Build a personal library of effective prompts that you can reuse and customize with variables. Keep the prompts that work well and reuse them across conversations and projects; save time and maintain consistency across your AI interactions.

Prompts can also be shared with specific users or groups, or with everyone in your organization, so your team can standardize on the same proven prompts. See Best Practices below.

The Prompt Library helps you capture successful prompts and turn them into reusable templates for common tasks.

Why Build a Prompt Library?

Consistency

Use proven prompts that deliver reliable results every time.

Efficiency

Skip rewriting the same instructions and jump straight to results.

Knowledge Sharing

Share effective prompts with your team to standardize AI usage.

Continuous Improvement

Refine and iterate on prompts over time based on what works best.

Creating Your First Saved Prompt

Identify Successful Prompts

When you get great results from a prompt, mark it as a candidate for your library. Look for prompts that:

Produce consistently good outputs
Solve common recurring tasks
Include useful structure or formatting
Minimize errors through thorough testing

Consider using the bookmark feature to store prompts in your personal library before officially adding them to your prompt library.

Save to Your Library

To save a prompt to your library, open Customize → Prompts (/prompts) in the sidebar. From there, create or access any prompt in your library.

Invoking a saved prompt from the composer — Using a saved prompt with a slash command

Fill in Prompt Details

In the prompt creation form, provide:

Prompt name (required): A descriptive name for your prompt
Text (required): The full prompt text with any variables you need
Description (optional): A short description displayed when using the prompt
Command name (optional): Create a custom command shortcut to invoke this prompt quickly

Give your saved prompts descriptive names that explain their purpose, like “Code Review Template” or “Meeting Notes Summary.”

Save and Use

Once saved, your prompt appears in the Prompts library where you can:

Search for prompts by name using the filter
Click on a prompt to use it in a conversation
Fill in any variables when using the prompt

Quick usage: Prompts can be invoked by typing / followed by their name or your custom command directly from any conversation.

Example of using a saved prompt in a conversation — Prompt example with a custom command '/exp'

Variable Management

Make your prompts flexible and reusable with variables you customize each time. WonkaChat supports three types of variables: basic variables for your own input, special variables that automatically insert system info, and dropdown variables that let you pick from preset options.

Basic Variable Syntax
Special Variables
Dropdown Variables

Use double curly braces {{ }} to define variables anywhere in your prompt.Example 1:

Summarize the {{document_type}} for the {{target_audience}}.

When using, you’ll be asked to fill in {{document_type}} (e.g., “meeting notes”) and {{target_audience}} (e.g., “executive team”).

Example 2:

Review the {{codebase}} and highlight {{review_focus}}.

Insert dynamic information using these built-in options (no manual entry needed):

{{current_date}} - Today’s date
{{current_user}} - Your username

Example 1:

Prepare a summary for {{current_user}} as of {{current_date}}.

Example 2:

Log entry created on {{current_datetime}} by {{current_user}}.

Use dropdowns for fields with limited, pre-defined choices.Example 1:

Summarize this as {{output_style:bullet points|paragraph|table}}.

Example 2:

Compare the solution across {{environment:development|staging|production}} environments.

Choose an option from the dropdown each time you use the prompt.

Well-designed variables make your prompts adaptable to many situations without losing effectiveness.

Best Practices

Descriptive Names

Use clear, descriptive names that make prompts easy to find when searching your library.

Add Descriptions

Utilize the optional description field to provide context about when and how to use each prompt.

Create Slash Commands

For frequently used prompts, set up slash commands for instant access without searching.

Test and Refine

Regularly test your saved prompts and update them based on the results you get.

Share What Works

Share a proven prompt with specific users or groups, or with your whole organization, so your team benefits from it too.

Start with 5-10 prompts for your most common tasks, then expand your library gradually as you identify more reusable patterns.

Tips for a clean prompt library

Use Descriptive Variable Names

Choose variable names that clearly indicate what information is needed. Use {{user_feedback}} instead of {{text}} or {{input}}.

Leverage Special Variables

Take advantage of {{current_date}}, {{current_user}}, and other built-in variables to automatically include context without manual input.

Keep Prompts Focused

Create separate prompts for different tasks rather than one overly complex prompt. Focused prompts are not only easier to maintain and reuse, but also yield better results.
