Recently, I created a Google Chrome Extension to make my ChatGPT experience more convenient. In this article, I want to introduce it and how I use it in my daily work.

The extension named **[ChatGPT Prompt Snippets](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chatgpt-prompt-snippets/ilcndgnlkiodbcpcgjkfihjponbenmem)**, is designed to enhance the ChatGPT experience by providing quick access to frequently used prompts. It's a simple yet powerful tool that integrates seamlessly into the ChatGPT interface.

## What is ChatGPT Prompt Snippets?

ChatGPT Prompt Snippets is a lightweight Chrome Extension that enables users to save and quickly insert text snippets into the ChatGPT input field, streamlining the use of frequently repeated prompts.

With a simple keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + J or Cmd + J), you can bring up the dialog interface, quickly select a snippet and insert it into ChatGPT's input area.

## Configuration

Snippets are set up using Markdown format, which is very straightforward and effective for creating a wide range of practical prompts. See the following example:

~~~
# Geography Questions

## Capital of the USA

This snippet asks for the capital of the United States of America.

```
What is the capital of the United States of America?
```

## Highest Mountain

This snippet asks for the highest mountain in the world.

```
What is the highest mountain in the world?
```
~~~

The rules for configuring snippets are as follows:

~~~
# Snippet Group

## Snippet Name

description

```
snippet
```
~~~

* Use a level 1 heading (`#`) to define a snippet group.
* Use a level 2 heading (`##`) to define a snippet name.
* Write a paragraph below the snippet name to provide a description.
* Include a code block to define the snippet.

You can create custom snippets for ChatGPT Prompt Snippets and insert them directly into the designated text box in the settings.

## A use case from my daily work

One of prompt snippets that I regularly use in my daily work is the following:

~~~
# Languages

## English Text Review and Translation

英文をチェックしてより良い英文を提案

```
Check the following text to see if it is natural English. Explain what is wrong. Provide improved English text. Translate your improved English text into Japanese. Your response MUST be the following format. Do not include any additional content outside of this format.

## Explanation
{{ your explanation }}

> {{ your explanation in Japanese }}

## Improved English text
{{ your improved English text }}

> {{ your improved English text in Japanese }}

Text:

```
~~~

I am a non-native English speaker from Japan, and this prompt is very useful for correcting my writing mistakes. I think that I can now write more natural English than I could before.

## Conclusion

In essence, the ChatGPT Prompt Snippets extension is about simplicity and efficiency. It's a straightforward tool that integrates into your daily workflow with ChatGPT, saving you time and effort. By allowing you to quickly access and insert predefined text snippets, it cuts down on repetition and lets you focus on the creative aspects of your conversations with ChatGPT.

If you find this tool useful, you can easily install it from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chatgpt-prompt-snippets/ilcndgnlkiodbcpcgjkfihjponbenmem), and if you're interested in how it's built, the entire source code is available on GitHub.
