Layer Prompt Manager
Save, version, and manage custom AI prompts for your code repositories. Seamlessly integrate with AI-powered IDEs like Cursor and GitHub Copilot.
Features
1. Save Prompts from Your IDE
Create and save custom prompts directly from your AI-powered IDE. The MCP server connects your development environment to Layer, allowing you to build a library of effective prompts specific to your codebase.
2. Version Control for Prompts
Track the evolution of your prompts over time. Compare different versions to see which ones produce the best results. Easily roll back to previous versions when needed.
3. Layer Prompts
- Access all your Layer prompts
- Edit existing prompts
- Create new prompts for AI-powered coding assistants
- Manage prompt versions
4. Templates
- Use pre-existing templates
- Create your own templates
- Standardize AI interactions across your development team
- Share and reuse common prompt patterns
5. Modern UI
- Matrix-inspired design
- Dark mode interface
- Responsive layout
- Interactive components
