AutoTagMate: Your Essential AI Prompt Structuring Tool

Want to level up your prompts for ChatGPT, Claude AI, or any other neural network-based system? AutoTagMate is a lightweight Sublime Text plugin that helps you quickly wrap text in XML-style tags—enhancing clarity and focus for your AI queries. It’s also perfect for developers, content creators, or anyone who frequently needs to wrap text in tags.

Why It’s Perfect for AI Work

• Boost Prompt Clarity
  Clearly separate instruction sections, examples, or code snippets in your AI prompts by automatically wrapping text in tags—making it easier for the model to understand your intent.

• Zero Hassle
  Set a hotkey (default: Tab) to instantly wrap your text in a tag pair, or rely on auto-insertion of the closing tag after typing >.

• Excluded Files/Selectors
  Configure file type support via allowed_selectors so that the plugin only works where you want it to.

Also Great for HTML Wrapping

While AutoTagMate is ideal for structuring AI prompts, it’s still a powerful companion for developers and content creators who need to wrap text in HTML tags. Whether you’re editing a website or adding simple markup, AutoTagMate has you covered.

Key Features

• Instant Tag Wrapping
  Automatically wraps a selected word or phrase in <tag></tag> with a single hotkey press.

• Auto-insert Closing Tags
  Type an opening tag (e.g., <Header>), and the plugin automatically adds the corresponding closing tag.

• Smart Cursor Positioning
  After wrapping text, the cursor is placed between the opening and closing tags for seamless editing.

• Customizable Hotkey
  Default is Tab, but you can easily change it to another key (e.g., Ctrl+~).

• Configurable File Types
  Control in which file types the plugin is active via the allowed_selectors setting.

• Works on Unsaved Files
  Enable or disable tag insertion in unsaved (untitled) files through the allow_untitled setting.

Installation

Via Package Control

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P).
2. Choose Package Control: Install Package.
3. Search for AutoTagMate and install it.

Manual Installation

1. Download the repository or clone it.
2. Place the files in your Sublime Text Packages/User directory.
3. Restart Sublime Text.

Usage

Creating a Tag

1. Type a word or phrase (e.g., Header or Main Content).
2. Press the hotkey (Tab by default).
3. AutoTagMate wraps it: <Header></Header> or <Main Content></Main Content>.

Auto-closing Tags

• Start typing an opening tag, like <Header>.
• AutoTagMate automatically inserts </Header>.

Configuration

AutoTagMate settings are stored in the auto_tag_mate.sublime-settings file:

{
    "allowed_selectors": ["text.plain"],
    "allow_untitled": true
}

• allowed_selectors: A list of CSS selectors that define the file types where the plugin is active.
  
• allow_untitled: If true, AutoTagMate works in unsaved (untitled) files as well.

Hotkeys

Default Assignment

By default, Tab is used to trigger the insert_auto_tag command.

Changing the Hotkey

1. Open Preferences → Key Bindings.

2. In the user key bindings file (the right-hand side), add:

   [
       {
           "keys": ["ctrl+~"],
           "command": "insert_auto_tag",
           "context": [
               { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "text.plain" }
           ]
       }
   ]
   

3. Save the file. Your new key binding will take effect immediately.

(If the Tab key is already bound to this command, you can remove or override it in your user key bindings.)

Additional Commands

• Open Plugin Settings: Launch via the open_auto_tag_mate_settings command in the Command Palette.
