PromptQueue

PromptQueue is a VS Code sidebar extension for managing reusable prompts in order and copying them quickly into coding agents or other tools.

It is designed for workflows where you prepare many prompts ahead of time, move through them one by one, and need a fast way to copy, mark, reorder, and restore them.

Features

• Card-based sidebar UI in a dedicated activity bar view
• Left-click copy with workspace-level prefix and suffix templates
• Right-click or long-press actions for edit, delete, move, and copy-content-only
• Batch import with -*- separators and optional inline titles
• One-click used-state toggling
• Delete-all backup with restore of the most recent full deletion
• Workspace settings for storage path and UI language (zh-CN / en)
• Data stored locally in the workspace by default

Prompt Import Format

Batch import accepts prompts separated by lines that start with -*-.

Examples:

-*- Title 1
Prompt body 1
-*- Title 2
Prompt body 2

If a -*- line has no non-space text after it, the prompt is treated as untitled.

Single prompt entries without any -*- header are also allowed.

Copy Behavior

By default, left-click copies:

prefix
current prompt content
suffix

Empty prefix or suffix sections are automatically omitted.

If you need only the current prompt body, use Copy Content Only from the prompt menu.

Storage

Default workspace-local storage path:

WorkSpace/PromptQueue

Stored files:

• prompts.json
• settings.json
• last-deleted.json

You can override the storage directory with the workspace setting:

"promptQueue.storagePath": "WorkSpace/PromptQueue"

Relative paths resolve against the current workspace root. Absolute paths are also supported.

Settings

PromptQueue contributes these workspace settings:

• promptQueue.storagePath
• promptQueue.uiLanguage

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build:

npm run compile

Unit tests:

npm run test:unit

Run the extension in a development host:

code --extensionDevelopmentPath="<workspace>" "<workspace>"

Notes

• PromptQueue currently works as a workspace extension and requires a local filesystem-backed workspace.
• Virtual workspaces are not supported.
