tact - AI Prompt Optimizer for VS Code

Optimize your AI prompts directly in your editor. Paste a rough prompt, pick a style, and get an improved version in seconds — ready to paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any LLM.

Features

  • 6 optimization styles - Detailed, Concise, Step-by-step, Creative, Technical, Analytical
  • One keystroke - Cmd+Shift+T (mac) / Ctrl+Shift+T (win/linux): grabs your clipboard (or selection), optimizes, and auto-copies the result back. Paste into your LLM in one go.
  • Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to submit from the sidebar textarea.
  • Try another style - One click to re-run the same prompt with a different style.
  • Status bar usage - See your daily rewrites at a glance; click to open the sidebar.
  • Draft persistence - Your textarea content survives reloads.
  • Right-click menu - Select text in your editor, right-click → Optimize with Tact.
