When to convert

Convert a prompt into a template when:

  • the task repeats often
  • the structure stays similar
  • only inputs change

Conversion checklist

  1. Identify changing text blocks
  2. Replace them with placeholders
  3. Create matching fields
  4. Add title, category, and tags
  5. Run with multiple examples

Example conversion

Original prompt: "Summarize this article for startup founders in a practical tone..."

Template version:

  • {{audience}}
  • {{tone}}
  • {{article_text}}

Quality test

Before sharing a template, run it with:

  • short input
  • long input
  • noisy input

If quality holds, the template is reusable.
