Prompt Template

Also known as: prompt skeleton

A prompt template is a reusable string that contains fixed instructional scaffolding alongside clearly marked placeholders for dynamic content. At request time, the application fills in the placeholders with user input, retrieved context, or other runtime values to produce the final prompt sent to the model. Templates enforce consistency across requests, make prompt logic testable, and separate content from structure so non-engineers can adjust wording without touching application code.
