# Prompts Overview

Create, organize, and reuse AI prompt templates to streamline your workflow and ensure consistent results across any AI model.

## What Are Prompts?

Prompts in VibeXP are reusable templates that help you structure and standardize your AI interactions. Instead of rewriting instructions from scratch, create a prompt once and use it repeatedly with dynamic content through variables.

## Why Use Prompts?

- **Eliminate Repetition**: Stop rewriting the same instructions for similar tasks
- **Maintain Consistency**: Ensure uniform quality across team projects
- **Save Time**: Transform 10-minute prompt crafting into 30-second form filling
- **Build Knowledge**: Create a searchable library of proven templates
- **Enable Reuse**: Share templates across projects and team members

## Key Features

### Prompt Library
Organize all your prompts in one centralized location. Access them from the VibeXP dashboard by clicking **Prompts** → **My Prompts** in the left sidebar.

### Prompt Gallery
Explore pre-built prompt templates organized by category:
- Customer Support
- Data Analysis
- Engineering
- Marketing
- Product Management

Use these templates as starting points or inspiration for your own prompts.

### Dynamic Variables
Create flexible prompts using placeholders that can be filled with different content each time you use them.

```
Write a {{content_type}} about {{topic}} for {{audience}}.
```

### Prompt References
Build modular, composable prompts by referencing other prompts using the `@` syntax. This enables you to create base instructions that can be reused across multiple specialized prompts.

### MCP Integration
Make your prompts accessible directly from AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code through the Model Context Protocol.

### API Access
Programmatically manage and execute prompts via REST API for seamless integration with your existing workflows and tools.
