Smart Prompt Builder is a VS Code extension designed to help you write better, more structured prompts for Large Language Models (LLMs). By simply speaking your problem description or typing it directly, this extension analyzes your input and generates a high-quality, structured prompt ready to be used with any AI model.
Features
🎙️ Voice-to-Prompt: Speak your problem out loud. The extension records it, translates it to text, and uses AI to refine the grammar and wording before structuring it.
🏗️ Structured Output: Your scattered thoughts are automatically organized into clear sections:
Role
Context
Task
Constraints
Output Format
🔍 Missing Information Detection: If you forget to provide important context or constraints, the AI will alert you with a MISSING: tag so you know exactly what to add.
⚙️ Custom Prompt Structures: Don't like the default sections? Define your own custom structure in the settings.
📝 Built-in Templates: Choose from built-in templates like Code Review, Bug Report, or API Design to guide the AI's structuring process.
🔌 Multiple Provider Support: Connects to OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or your local Ollama instance.
📜 Prompt History: Automatically saves your generated prompts so you can refer back to them later.
