Prompts
Reusable slash commands that turn complex instructions into one-click forms.
Prompts let you save frequently used instructions as slash commands. Type /summarize in any chat and the full prompt fires instantly. Add custom input variables and users get a popup form with dropdowns, date pickers, and text fields before the prompt is sent. No one needs to remember the exact wording or structure.
Every change is tracked with full version history. Roll back to a previous version, compare changes, and share prompts across your team with access controls.
Why Prompts?
Stop retyping the same instructions
Save the prompt once, use it with /command. Bug report templates, meeting minutes, code reviews, content briefs: anything you type more than twice should be a prompt.
Turn prompts into interactive forms
Add typed input variables (dropdowns, date pickers, number fields, checkboxes) and users get a clean form instead of editing raw text. Non-technical users can run complex prompts without understanding the syntax.
Version history with rollback
Every change creates a new version. Compare versions side-by-side, restore a previous version to production, and track who changed what.
Controlled sharing
Share prompts with specific users or groups. Public prompts appear in everyone's / suggestions. Private prompts stay in your own workspace.

Creating a Prompt
Navigate to Workspace > Prompts and click + New Prompt.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Descriptive title for identification |
| Tags | Categorize for filtering |
| Access | Control who can view and use the prompt |
| Command | The slash command trigger (e.g., /summarize) |
| Prompt Content | The actual text sent to the model, with variables |
| Commit Message | Optional description of changes for version tracking |
Use clear variable names ({{your_name}} not {{var1}}), add descriptive placeholder text, provide default values where sensible, and mark only truly essential fields as :required. Public prompts appear in every user's / suggestions, so be selective about what you make public. Use the enable/disable toggle to shelve prompts you're not actively using.
Managing Prompts
Delete Selected: On the Prompts workspace list, check the boxes on multiple prompts and click Delete Selected (N) in the toolbar to remove them all after a single confirmation. If some fail to delete, the result reports how many succeeded versus failed rather than a silent partial delete.
Import Bundle (.zip): Prompts (commands/*.md) are also picked up automatically when importing a Claude Code plugin bundle — see Import Bundle.

Custom input variables
Add variables to your prompt content and users get a popup form when they use the slash command.
Simple input creates a single-line text field:
{{variable_name}}
Typed input creates a specific field type with configured properties:
{{variable_name | type:property="value"}}
All custom variables are optional by default. Add :required to make a field mandatory:
{{title | text:required}}
{{notes | textarea:placeholder="Additional context (optional)"}}
Available input types
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| text | Single-line text (default) | {{name | text:placeholder="Enter name":required}} |
| textarea | Multi-line text | {{description | textarea:required}} |
| select | Dropdown menu | {{priority | select:options=["High","Medium","Low"]:required}} |
| number | Numeric input | {{count | number:min=1:max=100:default=5}} |
| checkbox | Boolean toggle | {{include_details | checkbox:label="Include analysis"}} |
| date | Date picker | {{start_date | date:required}} |
| datetime-local | Date and time picker | {{appointment | datetime-local}} |
| color | Color picker | {{brand_color | color:default="#FFFFFF"}} |
| Email field with validation | {{email | email:required}} | |
| range | Slider | {{rating | range:min=1:max=10}} |
| tel | Phone number | {{phone | tel}} |
| time | Time picker | {{meeting_time | time}} |
| url | URL with validation | {{website | url:required}} |

| map | Interactive map for coordinates | {{location | map}} |
Message and Prompt Modifiers
These modifiers are especially useful for task model prompts (title generation, tag generation, follow-up suggestions) where conversations contain long messages like pasted documents or code.
Prompt truncation
The {{prompt}} variable supports character-based truncation:
| Modifier | What it does |
|---|---|
{{prompt:start:N}} | First N characters |
{{prompt:end:N}} | Last N characters |
{{prompt:middletruncate:N}} | First half + last half, N characters total |
Message selectors vs pipe filters
The {{MESSAGES}} variable has two distinct modifier types that work at different levels:
Message selectors (colon :) control how many messages to include:
| Selector | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
START:N | First N messages | {{MESSAGES:START:5}} |
END:N | Last N messages | {{MESSAGES:END:5}} |
MIDDLETRUNCATE:N | First N/2 + last N/2 messages | {{MESSAGES:MIDDLETRUNCATE:6}} |
With 20 messages, {{MESSAGES:MIDDLETRUNCATE:6}} keeps messages 1-3 and 18-20, skipping the 14 in the middle.
Pipe filters (pipe |) truncate the content of each individual message to a character limit:
| Filter | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
|start:N | First N characters of each message | \{\{MESSAGES|start:300\}\} |
|end:N | Last N characters of each message | \{\{MESSAGES|end:300\}\} |
|middletruncate:N | First + last half of each message | \{\{MESSAGES|middletruncate:500\}\} |
Combine both to control which messages are included and how long each one is:
| Syntax | What it does |
|---|---|
\{\{MESSAGES:END:2|middletruncate:500\}\} | Last 2 messages, each capped at 500 characters |
\{\{MESSAGES:START:5|start:200\}\} | First 5 messages, each capped at 200 characters |
\{\{MESSAGES:MIDDLETRUNCATE:10|middletruncate:50\}\} | First 5 + last 5 messages, each capped at 50 characters |
{{MESSAGES:MIDDLETRUNCATE:500}} selects 500 messages. To limit characters per message, use a pipe filter: \{\{MESSAGES\|middletruncate:500\}\}. Without pipe filters, a single pasted document can consume the entire context window.
Version History
Every save creates a new version. When editing a prompt, the History sidebar shows all versions with the commit message, author, timestamp, and a "Live" badge on the active production version.
Preview any version by clicking it. Set as Production to restore it as the active version. Delete old versions from the menu (the current production version cannot be deleted).
Prompts created before the versioning update were automatically migrated with their content preserved as the initial "Live" version. The URL structure changed from command-based to ID-based, so existing bookmarks may need updating. As of v1.0.0, all variables are optional by default.
Examples

Please format this into a clean and professional meeting summary.Title generation (task model template)
Uses message selectors + pipe filters to keep context small:
Chat history:
<chat_history>
{{MESSAGES:END:2|middletruncate:500}}
</chat_history>
Generate a short title for this conversation.Sends only the last 2 messages, each capped at 500 characters.
Limitations
Slash command namespace
Public prompts appear in every user's / suggestions. Too many public prompts clutter the menu. Use the enable/disable toggle to keep inactive prompts out of suggestions.
Optional by default
All custom input variables are optional unless marked :required. If your prompt depends on a field, add :required explicitly.
