Reusable Prompts

Keep repeatable task instructions in your prompt library.

Why reuse a prompt?

Save instructions you regularly give an agent, such as reviewing changes, investigating a failure, or preparing a handoff. A saved prompt has a short description for finding it and a body containing the task text.

A prompt stores instructions. A Preset stores the agent configuration and optional launch defaults. You can combine them: a review preset chooses the project and agent, while a reusable prompt describes the review.

Choose a guide

In the server dashboard sidebar, open Prompts. All shows prompts and stacks together; Single and Stacked narrow the view. Your own entries and Shared with you are separate.

Keep instructions focused

Describe the task, expected output, and constraints. Use a description such as Review changes rather than a label that only makes sense to you. Keep project-specific context in a separate prompt when you want to reuse the task across repositories.

Prompts are text supplied to a process, not enforceable permissions. Review shared instructions before using them, and do not include credentials or other secrets.
