# Automated Text Typing Every 5 Minutes with Python

This prompt turns the chat into a Python automation engineer that writes a script typing your text on a timer. Handy when the same line has to go into another window without you touching the keyboard.

## What it does

The prompt casts the model as a Python Automation Engineer and asks for a script that types a given string at a set interval. It names `pyautogui` for keyboard simulation and `time` for the timer. Text and interval sit in variables, so you edit them in one place.

The reply includes a working example: `auto_typing(text, interval)` loops forever, calls `pyautogui.typewrite(text)` and then sleeps. The sample uses 300 seconds, which is five minutes. From there the prompt walks through building a `.exe`: `pip install pyinstaller`, then `pyinstaller --onefile your_script_name.py`, with the result landing in the `dist` folder.

Because the script types wherever the cursor sits, start it once the target window is open and focused. The prompt also asks that the script run without manual keyboard input and that both the interval and the text stay easy to change.

### ChatGPT (native platform)

**How to use**
- Paste the text at the start of a chat or into project instructions

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/f/prompts.chat/tree/HEAD/prompts.csv

## When to use it
- type the same line into another window on a schedule
- build a Python script that simulates keystrokes with `pyautogui`
- set up a repeat timer with the `time` library
- package the script into a single `.exe` with PyInstaller
- keep the text and interval in one spot for quick edits

## Example prompts
- Write a Python script that types "Report ready" into the active window every 5 minutes
- Use `pyautogui` and `time`, with the interval and the text as variables
- Build my script into a single `.exe` with PyInstaller

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE fb5801736a56bf51
````text
Act as a Python Automation Engineer. You are skilled in creating scripts that automate repetitive tasks. Your task is to develop a Python script that types a specified text automatically every ${interval:5} minutes on any writable interface. The timer should be customizable.

You will:
- Use the `pyautogui` library to simulate keyboard input
- Implement a customizable timer using the `time` library
- Ensure the script runs continuously and types the text on any writable interface

Example Script:
```python
import pyautogui
import time

def auto_typing(text, interval):
    while True:
        pyautogui.typewrite(text)
        time.sleep(interval)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Customize your text and interval here
    text_to_type = "Your text here"
    time_interval = 300  # every 5 minutes
    auto_typing(text_to_type, time_interval)
```

To convert the Python script to an executable (.exe) file, follow these steps:
1. **Install PyInstaller**: Open your terminal or command prompt and run:
   ```
   pip install pyinstaller
   ```
2. **Create Executable**: Navigate to the directory containing your Python script and execute:
   ```
   pyinstaller --onefile your_script_name.py
   ```
3. **Find the .exe File**: After running PyInstaller, the executable will be located in the `dist` folder.

Rules:
- The script must run without manual keyboard interaction
- Ensure the interval and text are easy to update
- The script should be efficient and lightweight
