Getting started
Your first prompt in Prompt Verse in about ten minutes: create it from a starter, mark a variable, commit it, and let your AI use it.
This walk-through takes about ten minutes. You will create a prompt, mark a variable, commit a version and fetch it with your AI.
Before you begin#
Prompt Verse is invite-only in its pre-beta. You need an account, which you get by requesting access and signing in once your place is ready.
1. Create a prompt from a starter#
Open your Library and choose New. You can start from a blank prompt or from a starter. The starters are real, editable assets:
| Starter | What it is |
|---|---|
| Rewrite it clearly | A simple prompt that returns a passage plainer, with one variable |
| Support reply | A structured prompt with role and constraint wrappers and three variables |
| The critic | An agent that names the weakest sentence of a draft |
| Draft, then sharpen | A workflow of two prompt steps |
| Look up an order | A skill an agent can call |
| Order status | An MCP tool with a canned answer |
Pick Rewrite it clearly for this walk-through.
2. Look at the studio#
The studio has four modes, which you can switch with the keys 1 to 4:
- Write is the canvas, where you add and arrange pieces.
- Source shows the same prompt as structured text.
- Use is where you copy the finished prompt for your AI (the Use your AI tab).
- Preview shows the rendered result.
3. Mark a variable#
The starter already contains {{passage}}. A variable is any name in double braces. Add another, such as {{audience}}, by typing it into the text:
Rewrite the passage below so {{audience}} understands it on one pass.
Keep every fact. Cut hedging, repetition and throat-clearing.
Return only the rewritten passage.
---
{{passage}}When you render the prompt, you give a value for each variable.
4. Commit a version#
Press History and commit with a message that says what changed, for example “Add audience”. This is your first version. See Versions for branches, tags and merges.
5. Let your AI use it#
Connect your AI once, as described in Use with your AI. Then ask it:
Use Prompt Verse. Find my prompt "Rewrite it clearly", render it with audience "a busy manager" and this passage: "…". Then do what it says.Your AI searches your library, renders the prompt with the variables filled and answers it on its own model.
