The lesson

Copy to Clipboard: The simplest method. Click the Copy button, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI interface. Use this for quick one-off tasks.

IDE Export: For coding tasks, use IDE Export to format the prompt specifically for Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, or other coding tools. This includes special syntax some IDEs expect.

Chat Messages: For multi-turn conversations, use the Chat Messages feature to export a conversation history that can be loaded into compatible AI interfaces.

PRD Export: For complex projects, export as a Product Requirements Document with proper formatting, sections, and professional layout suitable for sharing with teams.

Print Preview: When you need a physical copy or PDF, use Print Preview with formatting controls for professional documentation.

Remember: TPEE prepares the prompt. YOU decide when and where to use it. TPEE never sends anything automatically.
