What are prompt variables?

Prompt variables are dynamic placeholders in a prompt template that users fill in before sending the prompt to an AI model. They turn static prompts into flexible, reusable templates — like {{topic}}, {{audience}}, or {{tone}}.

Variable Features

How prompt variables work

Every feature designed to help your team work smarter with AI.

01

Placeholder syntax

Define variables using double curly braces like {{variable_name}}. Users see a form to fill in each variable before the prompt is sent.

02

Default values

Set optional default values for variables so users can accept the default or customize as needed.

03

Variable descriptions

Add descriptions to each variable explaining what to enter, with examples to guide team members.

04

Template library

Store variable-rich templates in your shared library so every team member can use them with their own inputs.

05

Consistent yet flexible

Variables provide structure and consistency while giving each user the flexibility to customize for their context.

06

One-click fill and insert

Fill in variables through a simple form in the browser extension, then insert the completed prompt in one click.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What syntax does TeamPrompt use for variables?

TeamPrompt uses double curly braces: {{variable_name}}. When a user selects a template, they see a form with each variable as a field to fill in before inserting the prompt.

Can I have required and optional variables?

Yes. Set default values for optional variables and leave required variables blank. Users must fill in required variables before the prompt can be inserted.

How many variables can a template have?

There is no practical limit. Most effective templates use two to six variables. Too many variables can make templates complex, so aim for the right balance.
