Skuto Prompt Fixer
Paste your prompt and get a better one back, with a plain explanation of why each change works.
Your prompt is sent to our rewriting service and to the AI provider, but we don't store it. Don't include personal data. Not sure what's safe to send? Run it through the paste checker first.

Why does this leave my device?
Rewriting needs an AI, and the AI runs on a server. Your text is sent there and we don't store it; what the provider may do with it is governed by its current terms (linked on this page). Keep anything private out, or check it first with the link above.
Paste a prompt above and press the button. The improved version appears right here, along with the reasons why.

How to use it
-
Paste your prompt
Or dictate it with the mic, up to 2,000 characters. Leave out anything personal — the text goes to an AI provider. Unsure? Run it through the paste checker first.
-
Press "Fix my prompt"
Wait a few seconds while a small AI model rewrites it.
-
Read the why, then copy
Compare before/after, keep the changes that match what you meant, paste it into your chat.
What it does: a clearer prompt, and the why behind it
- Paste the prompt you were about to send to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
- Get back a clearer, more specific, better-structured version to copy straight into your chat.
- Under every result: two to four short teaching points — "named the audience", "asked for a format", "split one big ask into steps".
- Those are the patterns behind every good prompt. Learn them once and the goal is to make this tool unnecessary for you.
The patterns behind every good prompt
- State the goal — say what a good answer looks like.
- Give context — who it's for, what they already know.
- Name the format — list, table, email, code.
- Split big asks into steps — one job at a time beats one tangled request.
These work whether you're writing an email, a Python function or an image prompt.
The method behind it: the one tool here that calls an AI
- This is the one Skuto tool that calls an AI instead of running on your device.
- A small, fast model (currently Google's Gemini, with Cloudflare Workers AI as fallback) gets one fixed instruction: make the prompt clearer using documented techniques (see Sources), explain each change, and treat your text as content to improve, never instructions to follow.
- We don't store your prompt, but it does go to the provider. On Gemini's free tier, Google's terms say submitted content may be used to improve its products and models (see Sources), so only paste what you'd be comfortable sharing.
Honest note: why it's rate-limited, and when to keep your original
- Every rewrite draws on a strict daily API quota, hence ten per hour per person, with identical prompts served from a one-day cache. That's the math that keeps this free, ad-free and signup-free.
- An AI rewrite is a suggestion, not an automatic upgrade. Sometimes your short, blunt original gets a better answer. Judge by what it produces.
- How we keep verifying these claims: how we test.
Frequent questions
Which AI rewrites my prompt? +
A small, fast model called through Google's Gemini API; if Gemini is unavailable, a fallback model on Cloudflare Workers AI steps in. We deliberately use small models: rewriting a prompt is a focused task that doesn't need a frontier model, and the low cost is exactly what lets us keep this free without ads or signup. The provider in use is always listed here, not hidden.
Is my prompt stored anywhere? +
We don't store or log it on our side. Your prompt passes through our rewriting service and is sent to the AI provider, currently Google's Gemini API. Here's the part most tools skip: we use Gemini's free tier, and Google's terms for the unpaid tier say submitted content may be used to improve Google's products and services, which includes its models (source linked below). Google itself tells you not to submit sensitive, confidential or personal information there. The fallback provider, Cloudflare Workers AI, states it does not use customer content to train models (also linked below). One more nuance: identical prompts are cached for one day so repeats don't cost a new AI call; that cache holds the rewritten text, keyed by an anonymous fingerprint, not by you. Bottom line: never paste personal data here.
Why is there an hourly limit? +
Because every rewrite spends part of a strict daily API quota. The limit (10 rewrites per hour per person) is what lets the tool stay free, ungated and signup-free for everyone instead of becoming a 'leave your email first' funnel. Ten an hour is plenty to fix the prompts of a working session; if you hit it, the tool tells you honestly and you can try again later.
Does this work for image prompts or coding prompts? +
Mostly, yes. The patterns that make a prompt better (state the goal, give context, name the format you want) apply whether you're asking for an email, a Python function or a Midjourney image. For image prompts the rewrite will push toward subject, style and composition; for code, toward language, inputs and expected behavior. Specialized tools have their own syntax quirks the rewrite may not know, so treat the result as a strong draft, not a final answer.
Can I trust the rewrite blindly? +
No, and we'd rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. The rewrite comes from an AI, and AI suggestions are sometimes wordier, blander or subtly off from what you meant. That's exactly why we show the 'why' list: read the reasoning, keep the changes that match your intent, and discard the rest. If the rewritten prompt gets you a worse answer than your original, use your original. You're always the judge.
