System prompt generator: also inside Claude Code and Codex

PromptDC for Desktop turns a short brief into a structured system prompt in any macOS or Windows app, browser, IDE or terminal. Select your draft, press the global shortcut, review the editable role, rules, constraints and output format, then Replace or Copy.

System promptExample

You are a billing support assistant for a SaaS product. Role: answer questions about plans, invoices, refunds, and payment methods. Rules: only use the billing facts provided in context; never invent prices; if unsure, ask one clarifying question. Tone: concise, friendly, professional. Format: 2 to 4 sentences, then a bulleted next step. Refuse: legal, tax, or account-security actions, and escalate those to a human.
