# Single-Prompt Playground

RagaAI Catalyst's Prompt Playground offers a powerful and intuitive interface for creating, testing, and managing prompt templates. This feature is designed to streamline your prompt engineering process and enhance the quality of your LLM interactions.

### **Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Prompt in RagaAI Catalyst Playground**

1. Access the Prompt Playground:
   * Navigate to the Project.
   * Locate and click on the "Playground" section.
2. Initiate a New Prompt:

   * Click the `New Prompt` button to start creating your prompt template.

3. Craft Your Prompt:

   * Use the built-in editor to write your prompt.
   * Incorporate variables and conditional logic if needed for dynamic prompt generation. Variables can be created by writing the variable name within doubly curly braces, for e.g, {{var}}

4. Test Multiple Model Configurations:

   * Run prompts across different models to explore various configurations.
   * In case you have configured a custom gateway (details [here](/ragaai-catalyst/concepts/enable-custom-gateway.md)), the value of the "model" key provided by you should also populate in the model dropdown, and can be used for inferencing here.
   * Fine-tune your approach by experimenting with different settings for optimal performance.

5. Evaluate Your Prompt:

* Click the `Run` button to test your prompt in real-time.
* Analyze the generated output to ensure it meets your expectations.

6. Save and Version Your Prompt:

* Once satisfied with your prompt, click the `Commit` button.
* Enter a commit message describing the changes or purpose of this version.
* This action saves a new version of your prompt in the RagaAI Catalyst system.
