Prompt Stash is a terminal-based, version-controlled prompt manager designed for AI power users. Save, version-control, search, and quickly copy prompt templates right from your terminal.
- Store & Retrieve: Save prompts as Markdown with YAML frontmatter. Retrieve them instantly to your clipboard using fuzzy search.
- Version Control: Every save, rename, or deletion automatically triggers a Git commit behind the scenes using
GitPython. - Searchable: Search for prompts by name, content, or tag via a SQLite Full-Text Search index.
- GitHub Sync: Instantly push and pull your stash to a remote GitHub repository.
- Beautiful UI: Enjoy a rich, interactive terminal experience powered by
clickandrich.
The best way to install Prompt Stash and guarantee that the stash command is available in your terminal is by using pipx.
# If you don't have pipx, install it first: pip install pipx
pipx install prompt-stashpip install prompt-stashNote: If you use
pip, thestashcommand might show up as"command not found"if your PythonScriptsdirectory is not in your system'sPATH. If that happens, either add the Scripts folder to your PATH, or usepipx.
Save your first prompt. This will automatically set up your stash in ~/.promptvault/ and open your default system editor.
