Save your best prompts — template beats memory

A saved prompt template with blanks (audience, length, constraints) turns one good result into a repeatable one.

Find one prompt that worked well for you. Replace the specifics with [BLANKS], add a one-line 'use when', and save it somewhere you'll look (notes app, doc). You're done when the template exists and you've reused it once.

Worked example

You wrote a great prompt three weeks ago and you'll never find it again. Templates fix that: save the prompt, blank out the specifics ([AUDIENCE], [LENGTH], [TOPIC]), and store it where you actually look. Repeatability is the difference between a trick and a skill.
