24 alternatives to Prompt Tower – Simplify writing prompts with multiple code blocks

Prompt-tower simplifies and speeds-up how prompts with multiple code blocks are written. It's often a pain jumping between files, classes, functions, etc and copying/pasting everything, wrapping and annotating the blocks, and finally sending the prompt off for generation. After seeing filekitty [1], I felt inspired to build a version of the idea I’ve had for awhile now... which is a vscode extension that fits better in a developer's context. check it out: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=backnotp... demo gif:…

Prompt Tower is a VS Code extension that streamlines the process of creating prompts containing multiple code blocks. Rather than manually jumping between files, copying and pasting code snippets, and formatting them… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Prompt Tower – Simplify writing prompts with multiple code blocks launched in 2024; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Hi HN, I've been working on an experimental tool that helps you use GPT to work on your codebase. I'd love to improve the tool if there's interest. New ideas welcome! I think this could also be useful for experimenting with other types of recursive prompts. It’s a little bit Swiss Army knife and a little bit skynet: https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr From the README: Promptr is a CLI tool for operating on your codebase using GPT. Promptr dynamically includes one or more files into your GPT prompts, and it can optionally parse and apply the changes that GPT suggests to…

    I've been playing with the idea of an LLM prompt that causes the model to generate and return a new prompt. https://github.com/andyk/recursive_llm The idea I'm starting with is to implement recursion using English as the programming language and GPT as the runtime. It’s kind of like traditional recursion in code, but instead of having a function that calls itself with a different set of arguments, there is a prompt that returns itself with specific parts updated to reflect the new arguments. Here is a prompt for infinitely generating Fibonacci numbers: > You are a…

    Hey HN! We just launched PromptL: a templating language built to simplify writing complex prompts for LLMs like GPT-4 and Claude. Why PromptL? Creating dynamic prompts for LLMs can get tricky, even with standardized APIs that use lists of messages and settings. While these formats are consistent, building complex interactions with custom logic or branching paths can quickly become repetitive and hard to manage as prompts grow. PromptL steps in to make this simple. It allows you to define and manage LLM conversations in a readable, single-file format, with support for control flow and…

    Hey HN, Since late 2021, I’ve been building apps using only AI models. Over time, I realized the real problem wasn’t how good the coding models were, but how you write and structure your prompts. When I vibe code, I make a looooot of typos or write unclear prompts. I often find myself reverting to old versions because the AI misunderstood my prompt and made incorrect changes. But in reality, it’s usually not the AI’s fault. It’s my prompt. That’s why I built PromptDC. It enhances your prompts with one click, without leaving your web-based platform or local editor. Just write your prompt in…

    Hi HN, I built Prompt Builder (https://www.promptbuilder.space/) because I was frustrated managing complex AI prompts in plain text boxes. The core idea: instead of one giant textarea, you compose prompts from draggable, reorderable blocks. Each block can have its own XML/custom tags, visibility toggles (so you can A/B test sections), and duplicates. Key technical details: - Live compiled preview: the right pane shows the exact string being sent, updating as you drag/toggle blocks - Dynamic variables: define {{var_name}} once, use across blocks, change in one…

    I was working on a project that involved indexing GitHub repos that used really long prompts. Iterating over each section and figuring out which parts of the prompt led to which parts of the output was a quite painful. As a frontend dev, I kept thinking it would be nice if I could just 'inspect element' on particular sections of the prompt. So I built this prompt debugger with visual mapping that shows exactly which parts generate which outputs. Now that context windows are getting huge, working with massive prompts should not be as difficult. Planning to open source this soon, but I'd love…
