Frequently Asked Questions

What is a system prompt?▼

A system prompt is a set of instructions you provide to an LLM before the conversation starts. It defines the AI's role, behavior, tone, and constraints — shaping every response in the conversation.

What makes an effective system prompt?▼

Good system prompts are specific, not vague. Define the role clearly (e.g., 'You are a senior Python engineer'), set concrete constraints (e.g., 'Never suggest deprecated APIs'), specify output format, and include 1-2 examples if possible.

How long should a system prompt be?▼

For most use cases, 100-500 tokens is ideal. Shorter prompts are cheaper and faster; longer prompts add precision. Avoid padding — every sentence should serve a purpose.

Does this tool work for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini?▼

Yes. The generated prompt works as a system message for OpenAI (GPT-4o), Anthropic (Claude), and Google (Gemini). Copy and paste it into the system prompt field or pass it as the 'system' parameter in API calls.

Can I save my prompts?▼

Prompts are stored in localStorage so they persist across browser sessions on the same device. Use the Export button to download your prompt as a .txt file for backup.
