# Template Design
A prompt template is a reusable prompt structure with variable slots that get filled at runtime. Templates create consistency across similar tasks and make prompt management scalable.
## Template Anatomy
A template has:
- **Fixed text**: The parts that stay the same every time (instructions, format, role)
- **Variables**: Slots that get filled with specific content (user input, retrieved data, configuration)
- **Conditional sections**: Parts that appear or disappear based on context
- **Default values**: What fills a variable if no specific value is provided
## Designing Variables
Each variable should be:
- **Named clearly**: `{user_query}` not `{input1}`
- **Typed**: Is it free text, a selection from options, a number, a boolean?
- **Bounded**: What are valid values? What's the maximum length?
- **Documented**: What is this variable for? Where does its value come from?
- **Defaulted**: What happens if the value is missing?
