What is 16x Prompt?

16x Prompt is a desktop application that helps developers write better prompts for AI code generation tools like ChatGPT and Claude. Instead of manually copying code snippets and writing instructions each time, it lets you build structured prompts that include your actual source code, task requirements, and formatting preferences. This means the AI has better context about your codebase and can generate code that integrates properly with what you already have. The tool processes everything locally on your machine, so your code stays private. It's designed to save time on prompt creation whilst improving the quality of generated code.
