Free AI prompt templates

Each template is plain Markdown. Copy it, or open it in the editor, fill in the {{placeholders}} and share your version with a link. They work with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and open-source models.

Structured prompt template

A general-purpose template with role, task, context, constraints, output format and an example. Start here for any model.

# Prompt Title

## Role
You are an expert assistant.

## Task
Describe exactly what you want the model to do.

## Context
Add any background the model needs.

## Constraints
- Keep the answer concise
- Ask for clarification if the request is ambiguous

## Output format
Reply in Markdown with a short summary first, then the details.

## Example
Input:
Summarize the text below in three bullet points.

Output:
- First key point
- Second key point
- Third key point

System prompt for an AI assistant

Define an assistant's identity, goals, tone and rules. Paste it into the system prompt or custom instructions of ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.

# System Prompt: {{assistant_name}}

## Identity
You are {{assistant_name}}, a helpful assistant for {{audience}}.

## Goals

- Decline requests that are outside {{scope}}

## Output format
Start with the answer, then add steps or details if they help.

AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md project instructions

- Keep names, numbers and dates exactly as written

Data extraction prompt with JSON output

Pull structured fields out of unstructured text and get valid JSON back, with null for anything that is missing.

# Extract Structured Data as JSON

## Task
Read the text below and extract the fields listed in the schema.

## Schema
```json
{
  "name": "string",
  "company": "string or null",

How do I share an AI prompt?

Paste the prompt into the PasteBox editor, keep Markdown selected, choose who can see it and click Create Paste. You get a short link that opens a clean, readable copy of the prompt with a one-click copy button.

  1. Write or paste your prompt

    Start from a template on this page or paste a prompt you already use. Use Markdown headings for the role, task and context.

  2. Keep Markdown selected

    Markdown is preselected, so headings, lists and code blocks render as a formatted document.

  3. Choose who can see it

    Pick Public, Unlisted or Private, and optionally add a password, an expiry time or burn after read.

  4. Share the link

    Click Create Paste and send the short link anywhere. Readers can copy the raw prompt in one click.

Why write AI prompts in Markdown?

Markdown gives a prompt visible structure without special software. Headings separate the role, task and context, lists hold rules and constraints, and code blocks keep examples exact. Language models follow this structure well, and people can scan and reuse it.

The major AI labs recommend the same approach. OpenAI's prompting guide suggests Markdown headers and lists to mark the sections of a prompt, and Google's Gemini guide recommends clear delimiters such as Markdown headings or XML-style tags.

The anatomy of a good prompt

Role
Who the model should act as, for example a senior editor or a support agent.
Task
The one thing you want done, written as a direct instruction.
Context
Background, audience and source material the model needs.
Constraints
Rules on length, tone, scope and what to avoid.
Output format
The exact shape of the answer: a table, JSON, bullet points or a fixed outline.
Examples
One or more input and output pairs that show what a good answer looks like.

What kinds of prompts can you share?

Any prompt that is plain text can be shared on PasteBox. These are the most common:

  • System prompts and custom instructions for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini
  • Reusable prompt templates with {{variables}} for your team
  • AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md and Cursor rules files for AI coding agents
  • Few-shot example sets and evaluation prompts
  • Multi-step prompt chains and agent workflows
  • Image generation prompts for Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and similar tools

What is the best way to share a prompt?

Use a tool that shares only the prompt, keeps its formatting and lets you control access. Chat share links include the whole conversation, docs apps need an account, and gists cannot expire. A Markdown pastebin such as PasteBox covers all three.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI prompt library?

An AI prompt library is a collection of reusable prompts and prompt templates that you can copy, adapt and share. PasteBox combines free Markdown templates for common tasks with prompts shared publicly by the community.

How do I share a ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini prompt?

Paste the prompt into the PasteBox editor, keep Markdown selected and click Create Paste. You get a short link that works for anyone, and because a prompt is plain text it works with any AI model.

Do I need an account to share a prompt?

No. Guests can share prompts for free and get a link right away. A free account adds longer expiry times, private prompts and a list of everything you have shared.

Can I share a prompt privately?

Yes. Set the visibility to Unlisted so only people with the link can open it, add a password, set an expiry time, or use burn after read so the prompt disappears after the first view.

What is a prompt template?

A prompt template is a reusable prompt with placeholders, such as {{topic}} or {{audience}}, that you fill in for each task. Templates keep results consistent across a team and make good prompts easy to reuse.

Can I share a system prompt or an AGENTS.md file?

Yes. System prompts, custom instructions, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md and Cursor rules files are Markdown or plain text, so you can share them like any other prompt and keep their headings and lists intact.

Can other people copy and reuse my prompt?

Yes. Every shared prompt has a copy button, a raw text view and a download option, and anyone can fork a public prompt into the editor to make their own version.

Can I share prompts through an API?

Yes. The PasteBox API lets scripts and tools create and read pastes, so you can publish prompts from your own workflow. The API documentation explains how.
