Building Your Snippet Library
Start Small
Don't try to create every possible snippet at once. Start with 3-5 snippets for things you do every week. Add more as you notice repetition in your work.
Notice Patterns
Pay attention when you:
Copy text from an old document to start a new one
Type the same instructions to AI multiple times
Wish you had a template for something
Each of these is a snippet opportunity.
Iterate
Your first version of a snippet won't be perfect. Use it a few times, notice what's missing or unnecessary, and refine it. The best snippets evolve with your workflow.
Group Thoughtfully
Create groups that match how you think about your work:
By project type: "Client Work," "Personal Projects"
By content type: "Outlines," "Prompts," "Checklists"
By workflow stage: "Research," "Drafting," "Review"
Choose whatever structure helps you find snippets quickly.
Common Questions
How many snippets should I have?
There's no right number. Some people thrive with 5 well-crafted snippets. Others have 50. The goal is to save time, not to have the biggest library.
Should I use Templates or Prompts?
If you'll use it mainly for AI chats and want quick access from the New Chat page, make it a Prompt. For everything else, use Templates. Both work in the "/" menu everywhere.
How specific should my prompts be?
Specific enough to be useful, general enough to be reusable. A prompt for "analyze this quarterly report" is too specific. A prompt for "analyze this document for key insights" works across many situations.
Can I include images in snippets?
Yes. Snippets can include anything you can add to a Note, including images and formatted text.
Thank you.
