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 – Simplify writing prompts with multiple code blocks launched on May 3, 2024 with 10 votes, #1,249 of 4,539 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
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, developers can use this tool to automatically collect, wrap, and annotate code blocks from their project before sending them to AI generation tools. It's designed to save time during the prompt-writing workflow.

Promptr, let GPT operate on your codebase and other useful goodies2023 · github.com · ▲109Hi 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…

PromptL, a templating language designed for LLM prompting2024 · promptl.ai · ▲7Hey 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…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
