Prompt by Prompt

Prompt by Prompt is a focused VS Code prompt manager. It keeps prompts as plain YAML files, shows them in a dedicated sidebar, renders them with the current editor context, and copies the final prompt to your clipboard.

What It Does

• Store workspace prompts under .prompts/.
• Keep personal prompts in VS Code global storage.
• Browse prompts by category in the Prompt by Prompt sidebar.
• Search across title, description, category, tags, source, and body.
• Favorite prompts for quick access.
• Preview the rendered prompt before using it.
• Copy rendered prompts with context variables such as {{selection}}, {{filepath}}, {{file_content}}, {{lang}}, {{project_name}}, {{line_number}}, and {{column_number}}.
• Duplicate bundled starter prompts into your own library.
