I am using Mac which has a function called “Text replacement” in Keyboard setting. I defined several text shortcuts of various system prompts, and always append them to my instruction to make sure AI remember them. It works well and overtime I will categorize, update those short texts. The key is that not to use random name for the text, instead naming these texts by their functions (for different texts in the same category, you can choose a category name and just append number after it) so that you can easily recall which text to use for their corresponding tasks.

Another small tip is that when typing in the command window, most of time, we don’t need to bother spending time to fix grammar errors such as spelling, numbers, tense etc. and AI will pick them up automatically which can significantly increase the efficiency of input of commands.
I use aText for both Windows and Mac so that I can archive similar, use text snippet.
For example when I type aicode1[ it will turn immediately to “focus on writing clean, efficient, and well-documented code.” and aicode2[ will turn to “ensure the code is modular and easy to understand”. Notice that the [ is the trigger character.
