Template variables

Template variables turn a single prompt into a flexible template. You write the prompt with placeholders, fill them in when you copy, and the final text lands on your clipboard.

Syntax​

Wrap any placeholder in double curly braces:

Write a {{tone}} blog post about {{topic}} for {{audience}}.

That prompt has three variables: tone, topic, audience. The same variable name reused later in the prompt is filled in everywhere with the same value.

Whitespace inside the braces is ignored, so {{ topic }} and {{topic}} are the same variable.

Fill variables at copy time​

When you click Copy on a prompt that contains variables, a small form opens with one field per variable. Fill in the values and copy. The clipboard receives the resolved text, never the raw {{...}}.

If you leave a field empty, the placeholder is removed entirely so you do not paste literal {{topic}} by accident.

Tips for naming variables​

  • Use short, descriptive names. topic beats the_thing_being_written_about.
  • Lower-case with underscores reads cleanest in the fill-in form.
  • Reuse the same variable name across prompts you copy in sequence to type less.

Variables vs notes​

If you want context that does not end up on the clipboard, use the Notes field on the prompt instead. Notes render in a collapsible section on the card and are never copied.
