PromptOS - Grammarly for Your AI Prompts

Transform simple prompts into powerful, context-rich instructions that help GitHub Copilot understand exactly what you need.

Boost your AI coding assistant prompts with intelligent enhancement — right inside VS Code!

✨ What is PromptOS?

PromptOS is like having a prompt engineering expert on your team. It takes your basic prompts and enhances them with:

• 🎯 Technical Context - Adds language-specific requirements and best practices
• 📋 Task-Specific Guidelines - Detects what you're trying to do (bug fix, feature, refactor) and provides relevant guidance
• 🛡️ Constraints & Quality Criteria - Ensures AI responses meet professional standards
• 📖 Structured Output Format - Guides the AI to provide comprehensive, organized answers

Result? Better, more accurate responses from GitHub Copilot and other AI assistants.

🚀 Quick Start

@promptos enhance create a REST API for user authentication

That's it! PromptOS will:

1. ✨ Enhance your prompt with technical context and best practices
2. 🤖 Automatically generate the code using the enhanced prompt
3. 📋 Return the complete implementation - no copy-paste needed!

Create Reusable Prompt Files

Perfect for common tasks you repeat:

1. Command Palette → PromptOS: Create New Prompt File
2. Write your base prompt in .github/prompts/your-prompt.prompt.md
3. Right-click → Enhance Prompt File
4. Use the enhanced version with any AI assistant

💡 Real Example

Your Basic Prompt:
