Made for Claude Code · macOS

Better Claude Code prompts. One hotkey, zero agent loops.

Highlight your prompt in any terminal. Press ⌘⇧P. PromptAI adds file paths, plan mode, thinking budget, and tool constraints — so Claude Code gets it right the first time.

Built for how Claude Code thinks

Claude Code is an agent, not autocomplete. It decides what to read, edit, and run. Enhanced prompts constrain those decisions upfront so you stop paying for rework.

Plan mode

Ambiguous work gets 'show me the plan first, wait for approval' scaffolding. No more watching the agent write 400 lines before you realize it misunderstood.

Thinking budget

Deep investigations auto-get 'think harder' or 'ultrathink' triggers. Surface bugs get normal reasoning. You don't burn tokens on trivial asks.

Task decomposition

Large features broken into phases the agent can execute and verify one at a time. Commits between phases. Recovery on failure, not restart.

Three real Claude Code prompts, before and after

Each example shows how PromptAI shapes the task so the agent stops guessing — and you stop babysitting.

Investigation — debug a failing test
What you type
figure out why this test is flaky
After ⌘⇧P
Role: senior engineer debugging a flaky test in a Next.js + Vitest codebase. Task: investigate why tests/auth/session.test.ts intermittently fails on CI but passes locally. think harder about this before touching code. Investigation plan (do in order): 1. Read the test file and the module under test 2. Check for timing-sensitive assertions, unmocked clocks, or shared state 3. Check recent git log on both files for concurrency-related changes 4. Grep for any global state or singletons the test touches Output format: - Root cause (1-2 sentences) - Evidence (file:line references) - Proposed fix (show the diff but do not apply yet) Wait for approval before editing.
Refactor — plan mode for multi-file work
What you type
split the billing module into smaller files
After ⌘⇧P
Role: staff engineer working on a payments-critical codebase. Make a plan before touching code. Show the plan. Wait for approval. Scope: split promptai-backend/main.py billing routes (approx lines 880-1400) into a dedicated billing module. Planning constraints: - No behavior changes. Pure reorganization. - Preserve all existing Stripe webhook URL aliases. - Tests must pass before and after each step. Plan output: 1. New file structure (paths) 2. Migration order (what moves first, dependencies) 3. Per-step commit strategy 4. Rollback plan if webhooks break After plan approval, execute one step at a time with a commit between each.
Feature — decomposed implementation
What you type
add rate limiting to the enhance endpoint
After ⌘⇧P
Role: senior backend engineer. Stack: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL. Task: add per-license rate limiting to POST /api/enhance at @promptai-backend/main.py. Phase 1 — Schema (commit before Phase 2): - Add rate_limit_count (int) and rate_limit_reset (timestamp) to License model - Generate Alembic migration Phase 2 — Middleware: - Before OpenAI call, check and increment license.rate_limit_count - Window: 100 requests / 1 hour per license - Return 429 with Retry-After header if exceeded Phase 3 — Tests: - Unit test: limit enforcement, reset window, concurrent requests Constraints: - Use existing SessionLocal pattern — no new connection logic - Do not change demo endpoint (/api/demo/enhance) — keep existing IP limit - PBKDF2 password hashing is correct — do not "upgrade" Commit after each phase. Do not squash.

Setup takes two minutes

01

Download the Mac app

PromptAI Desktop is a universal macOS binary — Apple Silicon and Intel. macOS 12 or later.

02

Grant Accessibility permission

macOS asks once. PromptAI uses it to read the text you highlight in the terminal and paste the enhanced version back.

03

Open your terminal. Try it

Type your prompt. Select it. Hit ⌘⇧P. The structured version replaces your text before you send it to Claude Code.

Why it changes your Claude Code workflow

First-pass success

Precise file paths and scope mean Claude Code stops exploring and starts executing. One round instead of three.

Right tool, right time

Prompts hint which tools fit — Grep before Bash, Read before Edit. Claude Code follows your intent, not its defaults.

Recoverable phases

Multi-phase tasks commit between steps. If phase 3 breaks, you roll back one commit — not the whole feature.

Questions.

A Claude Code prompt enhancer rewrites vague terminal prompts into structured ones — adding the role, absolute file paths, explicit constraints, tool-use hints, and output format. PromptAI's Mac desktop app adds a ⌘⇧P hotkey that enhances whatever text you have selected in the terminal, so Claude Code gets a precise task instead of a fuzzy ask.
