Ask HN: How do you store your (LLM) prompts?

#1

Post by dbosch » Sat, Oct 11, 2025, 1:30 PM UTC

I have a growing collection of prompts I reuse. Not the ones in my code. The ones I manually copy/paste into ChatGPT or Claude. Right now they're in Apple Notes and Notion. It works, but it's not great.

I'm curious how others handle this:

- Where do you store your prompt library?

- Do you use any specific tools or just plain text files?

- For those in companies: how do you share prompts with your team?

Would love to hear what's working for you.

I use Cursor since it has direct access to your disk. I have it write plans, which are prompts for it to follow, into markdown files.

I wrote a "workbook" article [0] about my exact planning process just a couple days ago.

Interesting. But what about non-code prompts?

Do you re-arrange them with folders or tags? Do you manage to keep them organized ?

Cursor doesn't care. You can use it for anything you would use another AI for. It connects to all the popular models.
