Smart Templates Clipboard

Smart Templates Clipboard is the fastest way to turn your current note and your existing Markdown templates into a ready-to-run AI prompt.

It starts from context first, not template first.

  1. Open the shared Template Context modal.
  2. Start from the current note or selection.
  3. Add more context if needed.
  4. Select one or more templates.
  5. Add optional instructions.
  6. Click Copy prompt.
  7. Paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other chat UI.

Who this helps

What makes this different

Most template workflows start with the template.
Smart Templates starts with the work in front of you.

That means:

Multi-template support

Some jobs need more than one reusable structure.

Smart Templates lets you select multiple templates, then merges them in the order you selected them before copying the final prompt.

Use this when you want one output to satisfy several reusable constraints at once.

Practical workflow

A simple loop:

  1. Open a project note.
  2. Select a structure template like summary, meeting output, or recommendation table.
  3. Add 1 to 3 supporting notes to the context.
  4. Add a short instruction like "focus on risks and next actions".
  5. Copy the prompt.
  6. Paste it into your chat tool.

Outcome: you stop rebuilding the same scaffolding every session.
