Features

Built for the gaps between agent turns.

02

Pin clipboard into prompts

Clipboard history catches copied code, paths, and notes while you move through a task. Pin the useful fragments as saved prompts when they should become reusable handoff material.

03

Let titles clean up the queue

Local AI can generate semantic titles for saved prompts, so rough captures become readable entries without sending content off your machine.

04

Recall everything with Alt+P

Search prompts and clipboard history from one palette. Type a few characters, pick the right item, and stay in the editor.

05

Send it to the agent chat

Pick the saved prompt or clipboard fragment, then send it into your agent chat window when the next turn is ready. The handoff happens from inside VS Code instead of another note app.

Scoped per workspace.Your prompt library stays tied to the current project, so search results do not mix unrelated snippets from other repositories.
Built for the AI agent era

Everything you capture feeds your next agent.

Task queue, clipboard history, version timeline — every piece of Quick Prompt is designed so your ideas flow from thought to agent prompt with the fewest steps possible.
