Quick Start

All templates are exported from promptsmith-ts/templates:

// Use a template directly
const builder = customerService({
  companyName: "TechStore"
});

const prompt = builder.build();

​
Template Categories

​
Domain-Specific Templates

These templates are designed for specific use cases and can be used directly:
  • Customer Service - E-commerce support, order tracking, returns
  • Coding Assistant - Code writing, debugging, explanations
  • Research Assistant - Academic research, citations, literature review
  • Data Analyst - Data analysis, visualization, insights

​
Composable Templates

These templates are designed to be merged with your domain-specific prompts:
  • Security - Add security constraints and guardrails
  • Multilingual - Add multi-language support
  • Accessibility - Add accessibility best practices

​
Customization

All templates return a SystemPromptBuilder, so you can further customize them: 
import { customerService } from "promptsmith-ts/templates";
import { z } from "zod";

const builder = customerService({
  companyName: "TechStore",
  supportEmail: "[email protected]"
})
  // Add company-specific tools
  .withTool({
    name: "check_inventory",
    description: "Check product inventory",
    schema: z.object({
      productId: z.string()
    })
  })
  // Add additional constraints
  .withConstraint("must", "Always offer free shipping on orders over $50");

const prompt = builder.build();

​
Merging Templates

Composable templates can be merged with domain-specific templates: 
import { customerService, security, multilingual } from "promptsmith-ts/templates";

// Start with customer service template
const builder = customerService({
  companyName: "GlobalStore"
})
  // Add security guardrails
  .merge(security())
  // Add multilingual support
  .merge(multilingual({
    supportedLanguages: ["English", "Spanish", "French"]
  }));

const prompt = builder.build();

​
Best Practices

  1. Start with a template - Use templates as a foundation and customize rather than building from scratch
  2. Add security - Merge the security template for any customer-facing agent
  3. Test with examples - Templates include examples; test your customizations against similar scenarios
  4. Layer templates - Combine domain templates with composable templates for comprehensive coverage
  5. Customize incrementally - Start with template defaults, then add your specific requirements
