PromptForge

Build type-safe AI prompts with TypeScript

PromptForge launched on July 16, 2026.

What it does

PromptForge is an open-source TypeScript toolkit for building production-ready AI prompts. Define prompts with type-safe schemas, validate inputs before expensive LLM calls, compose reusable prompt blocks, and compile prompts for multiple AI providers. Built for developers who want maintainable, scalable, and reliable prompt engineering workflows. MIT licensed and developer-first.

The TypeScript Toolkit for Prompt Engineering. Replace fragile string templates with a modern developer workflow.

Build type-safe, composable, production-ready prompts with TypeScript. Replace fragile string templates with a modern developer workflow. const prompt = "You are a helpful assistant\n" + "Context: " + data.context + "\n" + "User: " + req.query; // Breaks easily 2. Type-Safe API const prompt = pf.define({ role: 'helpful assistant', context: data.context, task: req.query }); // Compiled & Validated String concatenation does not scale. As your AI features grow, managing large prompt templates with string interpolation becomes a maintenance nightmare. Unescaped characters break JSON outputs, context gets duplicated, and refactoring is impossible. PromptForge replaces template literals with a…from prompt-forge-docs.vercel.app

    PromptForge: Open-source AI prompt engineering workbench with systematic evaluation I built PromptForge after getting frustrated with the manual trial-and-error approach to prompt engineering. Most tools are just text editors, but I wanted something that brings software engineering discipline to prompt development. Key technical features: - AI-assisted prompt generation (stop starting from scratch) - Systematic evaluation engine that auto-generates test suites - Multi-model support (Claude, GPT-4, Azure OpenAI) - Go backend with SQLite for performance and simplicity - One-line Docker…

    Hi HN! We’re been working hard on this low-code tool for rapid prompt discovery, robustness testing and LLM evaluation. We’ve just released documentation to help new users learn how to use it and what it can already do. Let us know what you think! :)

    Hi HN, I recently built PromptForge — a minimal, developer-first web app that helps you generate high-quality GPT prompts from just a few structured fields. Why? As a developer, I often found myself rewriting similar prompts manually. I wanted a faster and more reliable way to generate optimized prompts for various tasks — coding, debugging, idea generation, etc. So I built a tool that combines structure, speed, and simplicity. What it does: Select a use case (e.g. summarization, code explanation) Fill out a few fields (context, tone, output format) Get a clean, optimized prompt Save, reuse,…

    Hi 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…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
