Find better AI prompts and host your own private library
If you have ever wondered which phrasing yields better results when asking an AI a question, you can browse prompts shared by people around the world. This repository serves as a collection of prompts applicable to various AI models and a tool for using them within your company or team while maintaining privacy. It also includes an interactive book on prompt writing and educational content for children.
Community-created prompts and learning materials
User-added prompts are automatically synchronized, and data can be downloaded in CSV or Markdown formats. It also includes a free interactive book consisting of more than 25 chapters, covering the basics of prompt engineering, chain of thought reasoning, and agent usage. Separate content is available that allows children aged 8 to 14 to learn how to communicate with AI in a game-like manner.
Self-hosting for your environment
Self-hosting capabilities are provided for organizations where privacy is a priority. You can start quickly with the npx prompts.chat new my-prompt-library command, and a setup wizard allows you to configure branding, themes, and authentication methods (GitHub, Google, Azure AD). PostgreSQL is recommended for the database, and Neon is suggested if a hosted database is required. A Docker guide is also provided, enabling deployment in container environments.
Integration with development tools
It provides tools that can be integrated directly into development workflows, rather than just being a simple website. You can search for and use prompts from the CLI with the npx prompts.chat command. By setting it up as a Claude Code plugin or an MCP server, you can access the prompt library directly within AI development tools. The MCP server supports two methods: using a remote URL or running locally via npx.
Licensing and data ownership
This project applies a dual license. The source code and content created on the site (including the interactive book) follow the MIT license. In contrast, prompt content and data (prompts.csv, PROMPTS.md, user-submitted prompts) are dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0 Universal. This means the prompt data can be freely used, modified, and redistributed.
Pre-use considerations
If you are considering self-hosting, you must ensure you have a PostgreSQL database environment. When configuring authentication, you must choose one of GitHub, Google, or Azure AD, so it is necessary to check compatibility with your organization's authentication infrastructure. Since prompt quality relies on community contributions, it is advisable to directly verify whether there are enough prompts suitable for a specific domain. Because the license is split between MIT and CC0, you must comply with CC0 terms when using prompt data commercially and MIT terms when modifying and distributing the code.
