Personal CLI Tool for Prompt Saving/Retreving

I needed a simple yet handy tool to save and retrieve prompts, and since I love fzf, I decided to use it for this purpose.

Usage

1. Clone the repo or get the scripts and install them somewhere in your path.
2. Create a folder for your prompts (e.g., ~/ai/prompts).
3. Create a subfolder called "inbox" (e.g., ~/ai/prompts/_inbox).
4. Set the following environment variables:
   • PROMPT_INBOX_PATH: e.g., export PROMPT_INBOX_PATH=~/ai/prompts/_inbox
   • PROMPT_PATH: e.g., export PROMPT_PATH=~/ai/prompts

Workflow

1. Write a new prompt and copy it to the clipboard.
2. Run the pinbox.sh script.
   • The script will take the clipboard content, create a YAML file in the PROMPT_INBOX_PATH folder, and save it with a filename like prompt-inbox-YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.yaml.

Example

1. Copy the prompt "Magic mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful of all?" to the clipboard.
2. Run pinbox.sh.
3. The script will create a YAML file like prompt-inbox-2024-05-10-06-21-31.yaml in the _inbox folder with the following content:

---
prompt:
  uuid: 862be853-8f45-4f9d-91fa-ffd6f3db1634
  text: |-
    Magic mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful of all?
  search_by:
  description:
  tags:
  created_by: me
  created_at: 2024-05-10-06-21-49

4. You can now edit, rename, move, or organize the prompt file within the PROMPT_PATH folder.
5. Don't forget to fill in the search_by field (e.g., "Snow White mirror") and keep the .yaml extension.

Retrieving Prompts

1. Run the pget.sh script, which finds all YAML files inside PROMPT_PATH and displays them in fzf with the content of search_by and the filename.
2. Select a prompt, and its text will be copied to the clipboard.

Tips

• Create a keyboard shortcut for the scripts, such as in Wezterm:

{
  -- Get prompt
  key = "p",
  mods = "ALT",
  action = wezterm.action {
    SpawnCommandInNewTab = {
      args = { "zsh", "pget.sh" },  -- Replace with your script's path
    }
  }
}

Notes

• Scripts use xclip, yq, fzf, so install them first.
