Prompt Template
A reusable prompt structure with placeholder slots for the parts that change — so you can use the same prompt logic across many different inputs. For example: "You are a [tone] copywriter. Write a [length] product description for: [product details]." Fill in the brackets each time. Templates make AI workflows consistent, maintainable, and easy to improve — instead of writing a new prompt from scratch every time.
In practice
Every time a sales rep uses your Claude tool, it sends: "You are a sales assistant for [Company]. Here is a prospect's LinkedIn profile: [PROFILE]. Write a personalized opening email." The brackets are variables filled in per request. That reusable structure is a prompt template — you write it once and use it thousands of times.
