PromptYap Documentation

Master AI prompt management with dynamic variables, workflows, and multi-provider support

What is PromptYap?

PromptYap is a powerful platform for managing AI prompts with dynamic variables called "Yaps". It allows you to create reusable, maintainable prompts that can be easily shared and modified across different AI models and providers.

Why Use PromptYap?

  • Eliminate prompt duplication with reusable variables
  • Build complex workflows with sequence chaining
  • Switch between AI providers seamlessly
  • Reference previous AI outputs with Sacred Yaps
  • Collaborate with teams on prompt libraries

Key Features

Dynamic Variables (Yaps)

Create reusable variables that can be inserted into any prompt using simple syntax.

{{ yap = my_variable }}

Sacred Yaps

Reference previous AI responses in sequences using special lore syntax.

{{ yap = lore }} or {{ yap = lore_2 }}

Sequence Looping

Repeat parts of your sequences for iterative refinement and complex workflows.

🔄 Loop steps 2-4 × 3 iterations

Intuitive Interface

Double-click to edit, drag-and-drop reordering, and smart content management.

Enhanced editing with keyboard shortcuts

Multi-Provider Support

Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, XAI, and Lambda AI providers.

Seamless switching between models

Workflow Sequences

Chain prompts together to create complex AI workflows and automations.

Step-by-step processing pipelines

Example Usage

Here's a simple example of how Yaps work in PromptYap:

1. Create a Yap variable:

Yap: company_name
Shorthand: company_name
Content: Acme Corporation

2. Use it in a prompt:

Marketing Prompt
Write a professional email introducing {{ yap = company_name }} to potential clients. 
The email should highlight our innovative solutions and commitment to excellence.

3. The prompt gets processed as:

Final Prompt
Write a professional email introducing Acme Corporation to potential clients. 
The email should highlight our innovative solutions and commitment to excellence.

Pro Tip

You can update the Yap content once and it will automatically update in all prompts that use it!

Sequence Looping

Take your workflows to the next level with sequence looping. Repeat specific steps multiple times for iterative refinement, multi-perspective analysis, or progressive enhancement.

How Loops Work

Configure any sequence to repeat a range of steps multiple times. Perfect for iterative processes where each iteration builds on the previous results.

Example: Content Refinement Loop

Step 1: Generate initial content
Step 2: Review and suggest improvements (×3 iterations)
Step 3: Apply improvements (×3 iterations)
Step 4: Final review and polish

Sacred Yaps in Loops

Sacred Yaps automatically reference outputs from previous iterations, enabling sophisticated workflows.

{{ yap = lore_2 }} // Previous iteration {{ yap = lore_5 }} // Earlier step

Loop Configuration

Easy visual configuration with drag-and-drop sequence building and loop range selection.

🔄 Loop steps 2-4 × 3 iterations

Loop Use Cases

  • Iterative Refinement: Progressively improve content through multiple review cycles
  • Multi-Perspective Analysis: Analyze problems from different angles in each iteration
  • Progressive Enhancement: Build features incrementally with testing at each step
  • Quality Assurance: Multiple validation passes for critical content

Enhanced Interface

PromptYap features an intuitive, modern interface designed for efficiency and ease of use.

Smart Editing

  • • Double-click to edit any content inline
  • • Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Enter to save, Escape to cancel
  • • Auto-expanding textareas for comfortable editing
  • • Content truncation with expand/collapse for better readability

Drag & Drop

  • • Reorder sequences by dragging prompts
  • • Visual feedback during drag operations
  • • Precise positioning with drop indicators
  • • Keyboard alternatives with arrow buttons

Productivity Features

The interface follows progressive disclosure principles - essential information is always visible, while details appear on demand. This keeps your workspace clean while ensuring powerful features are just a click away.
