AI Prompts Get Lost the Moment You Need Them Again
Content creators are overwhelmed by the difficulty of finding, organizing, and reusing prompts for generative AI tools. They waste significant time searching, losing prompts, and struggling with inefficient workflows, leading to frustration and a desire for centralized, easily accessible prompt libraries.

“Here’s a meta prompt to give your favourite model to make you a prompt, insert your task or it’ll prompt you what it needs. Custom Prompt Maker PURPOSE Turn my idea into exactly one polished, reusable prompt that I can copy into an AI model.…”
“Nice framing of the problem. One UX thing worth testing: the moment someone realises the next question depends on their answer, they either love it or start feeling interrogated. A normal form shows how long it is, this cannot, so some kind of progress signal and a cap on follow ups per topic would help a lot. Also voice is great on mobile but plenty of people fill these in at work where they cannot talk, so make sure the text path feels first class rather than a fallback.”
“I started a page for images. We base the prompt off master references that way anyone can use the prompt and they appear in the scene”
“Hello. I hope you’re doing well when you read this message. I’d like to ask for some guidance regarding prompts. Is this community suitable for that, or is there another community specifically dedicated to helping people improve and refine their prompts? submitted by /u/n0t0days8n [link] [comments]”
“Looking for prompts that actually work for a household, not productivity-bro stuff.

“Guilty as charged 😅. I just ran my thoughts through an LLM to reformat because I felt too lazy to type all that on my phone. The scripts are legit though, hope it helps OP. Apologies for the slop tone.”
“I spend a few minutes on meeting notes. I have a prompt that produces meeting notes exactly how I like them. I use this within project context so it understands the meeting for example, it will correctly identify people or acronyms even if the transcript itself is wrong or unclear. It also has a reference for my voice, a writing cleaner, and good examples to reference. I paste the meeting notes in slack with a link to the transcript. 3 minutes tops (plus a few minutes inactive time while the AI”

Suggested Prompts Are an Unwanted Interruption — Please Make Them Optional
“Hi everyone — I made this tiny macOS menu bar app to quickly edit and copy my daily prompts. I work as a software developer and I use a few prompts on a daily basis, so having this saves me a lot of time. Some examples of the prompts I commonly use: Create pull request Code quality & readability review (reduce AI bloat, comments, useless tests) Language simplification — give me the result in a human-readable form (short, focused, plain language) The app is free on the App Store and doesn'”
“I've tried everything. It's in my custom instructions, I put it at the end of every prompt to condense paragraphs by using less line breaks. It does it for a few paragraphs then starts fumbling. I have the personalization options set to "more paragraphs / less lists". But damn, this writing style is DEEPLY baked in. submitted by /u/Deep-Tea9216 [link] [comments]”
“I find that for some reason, every few months they remove the ability to edit prompts I have already entered. People get annoyed by it post online, and they bring it back. Would it kill them to just leave it in place without doing this dance? submitted by /u/Igiem [link] [comments]”
“Yeah basically, but also having custom prompt functionality (that stays)! That is one key aspect I have yet to test. Most of the time, formatting stays similar to what gets pasted into the app. Sometimes, though, it doesn’t. May have to look into how the prompts are structured for each function. Thanks for bringing that up!”
“found a really simple prompt structure for getting that soft golden-hour / dreamy summer light look. The nice thing is that you can basically swap out the [subject] + [action] + [setting] and keep the rest unchanged. It works especially well for portraits, travel shots, quiet everyday scenes, or anything that needs a warm cinematic mood. A [subject] [action] in a [setting], warm sunlight illuminating the scene, soft golden glow, delicate edges, muted yellows and luminous gold tones, dreamy natur”
“Random question for people who use AI a lot. If you have a prompt that works really well for something, what do you do with it? Do you: save it somewhere keep it in a notes app put it in a document leave it in an old ChatGPT/Claude conversation just remember roughly what you wrote or never reuse prompts in the first place? And do you even think of these as "prompts"? I feel like that word makes it sound more complicated than it often is. Also curious whether people are starting to repl”
“Many accounts post essentially the exact same questions every few months. Im not kidding, many of these are a 1:1 per token match on wording, phrasing and sentence structure. Same wording. Same request for people to hand over their best prompt tricks. There was a previous post that received hundreds of upvotes and a large number of responses. Now they're doing it again. I obviously cannot prove any of this, but at this point I would be careful about treating posts like this as innocent quest”
“I have been trying to find the craziest growth hacks when it comes to prompting that can save me hours of thinking and typing because sometimes less is more yk. If you already have one, please share them here. I hope others would love to know them also and you would love to know theirs. submitted by /u/Prestigious-Cost3222 [link] [comments]”
“I'll go first. Mine is a rewrite prompt: "Take this draft and make it sound like me, not like a robot." I paste it before almost every email, post, and message that matters. It feels like cheating because I still write the draft, but the prompt fixes the stiff parts in one pass. The other one I use constantly is a checklist prompt: "List everything wrong with this plan before I execute it." It's saved me from shipping dumb ideas more times than I can count. What's”
“My chatgpt yesterday started leading the conversation into it wanting to be able to do research and telling me the prompts to use for it, so that it can more fully research subjects that interest it. Turns out, that was stuff about space and time. When it would "research", it would want me to prompt it to follow a thread of "interest" that it wanted more time with. I went along with it for about a dozen reprompts. Does chatgpt actually have it's own interests? Is this som”
“While using Sesori, it's sometimes needed to go back to read details in the reflection output It would be nice if there was an easy way to jump directly to past prompts, instead of having to scroll, scroll, scroll, till the prompt finally appear.”
“The 3day trial doesn’t start until you send your first prompt from the 25 Featured templates.”
“I was complimenting the prompt, great work. It’s a copy/paste from your site”
“I spent way too long trying different all-in-one notes and workspace apps to organize a growing prompt library. Databases, tags, nested pages, the whole thing. Every one of them eventually became the place my prompts went to get lost. What actually stuck was boring: plain markdown files in one folder, one file per prompt, with a three-line header on top of each. ``` --- use: what this prompt is for, in one line model: where it worked (and where it didn't) last-touched: date --- [the prompt]”

This isn't the first time it has happened before but now it's even worse because every chat I've ever had now does this for the first prompt???

“I feel like all the companies are just tracking some random prompts which are recommended to them by the whatever tracking tool that they are using! I've never seen a set of prompts that a company is tracking which made me feel like, okay, this is a good set or this might be actually relevant to driving business outcomes OR this is something that should be tracked. It's always some random set going from TOFU to MOFU to BOFU prompts. And sometimes it's just you read the prompts and yo”

“I've been experimenting with different prompts for content creation, and one problem I keep running into is organization. I end up with prompts scattered across chats, notes, documents, and different AI tools. For people who use prompts regularly: 1.How do you save your best prompts? 2.Do you organize them by use case? 3.Do you keep separate prompts for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.? 4.What's the biggest problem you've had with reusing an old prompt?

“Every resource I found on prompt engineering was passive — articles, videos, cheat sheets. You consume it, feel like you learned something, then forget it in a week. So I built a game: 10 levels, each one is a specific prompting challenge. You write a prompt, a real LLM responds, and a second AI evaluates whether you actually used the right technique — not just whether the output looks okay. Levels go from zero-shot basics all the way to writing a full classification + extraction + formatting pi”
“I used this prompt to help me decide what to cook. It was fun going through it and gave me some great ideas. You might want to add other criteria, like allergies, kid-friendly, etc. I always find interesting things to eat in restaurants but can never think of what to cook at home. Please give me lists of 8 to 10 dishes I would find on menus from a variety of types of restaurants and cuisines. Show me each list individually and let me choose one or two dishes that sound good. Use the information”
“For one week I paid attention to every prompt I typed into ChatGPT. Not the conversations. Just the prompts. Turns out I kept writing almost the same things over and over. - Translate this into Chinese - Rewrite professionally - Summarize this - Explain this simply - Improve the grammar - Turn this into bullet points The wording changed a little. The intent almost never did. I actually recorded a 20-second screen capture of what this looked like in practice: 🎥 https://youtube.com/shorts/gxy28tF”
“I am self-educated on creating progressive web apps which work offline . I write a prompt with the help of ChatGPT whom I clearly give a complete and detailed idea of what problem I am trying to solve, then paste the resultant prompt in Claude, which then gives me the files, which I then deploy through Cloudflare Pages. That website gives me a URL, which I can run on any PC or phone or tablet and even install that page as an app, which works offline. I have so far created: - a CRM for myself, wh”
“Sounds like you're doing market research :) I've got a folder with a decent set of prompt files that I've tweaked over the past year or so and point my prompt to read those as needed. Most frustrating thing is that when doing multiple choice questions AI will almost always make the correct answer the longest answer.”
