How to Create Custom Prompt Templates in Prompt Anything Pro?
Custom templates in Prompt Anything Pro let you save reusable prompts with <code>{{variable}}</code> placeholders. Open the Templates tab, name the template, write the prompt body, and pick a default model. Variables can be text inputs, text areas, dropdowns, or auto-filled from selected page text. Templates run with a single click and can be exported as JSON for sharing or backup.
- Templates use double-curly-brace variables: <code>{{variable_name}}</code>. Each variable can be a text input, text area, select dropdown, or auto-filled from the page selection.
- Each template can pin a default model (e.g., Claude for writing, GPT-4o for coding), a category, and an optional description.
- Common templates: article summarizer, code explainer, email rewriter, translation, grammar check, product description.
- Templates export as JSON for sharing with teammates or backing up. Templates are stored locally in browser storage.

Template Variable Types
- Text input {{name}} — A short text field for simple values like a language name, topic, or keyword
- Text area {{content:textarea}} — A larger text area for pasting longer content like articles, emails, or code
- Selection {{tone:select:formal,casual,technical}} — A dropdown menu with predefined options. Great for parameters like tone, language, or output format.
- Auto-fill from selection {{selection:auto}} — Automatically populates with any text you had selected on the webpage when you invoked the template. This enables one-click workflows where you select text and run a template instantly.
Example Templates to Get Started
