When to convert
Convert a prompt into a template when:
- the task repeats often
- the structure stays similar
- only inputs change
Conversion checklist
- Identify changing text blocks
- Replace them with placeholders
- Create matching fields
- Add title, category, and tags
- 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.
