Create a prompt
Use the add button in the sidebar’s Prompts section. A good title describes the job rather than
the current input: Review a pull request will stay useful longer than Review PR 284.
Write the instruction as ordinary Markdown. Saving is automatic; use Ctrl/Cmd
- S when you need the current buffer on disk immediately.
Make it reusable
Put changing values inside {{double braces}}:
Review the {{language}} changes for {{risk}}.
Return findings with file and line references.
The Variables panel turns each distinct name into a field. Copy filled writes the completed prompt to the clipboard without rewriting the note. Empty fields remain visible as placeholders.
Use [[links]] to preserve the reason, rubric, or companion prompts:
Follow [[Review standards]] and format the answer for [[Team handoff]].
Add retrieval details
Tags provide broad categories and become clickable search queries. A model assignment records which model the prompt targets; it does not run the prompt. The Details panel also shows the underlying file path and dates.
When AI assistance is enabled, a sufficiently changed note can receive tags automatically. Manual tags are kept, and a stale tag response is not applied over a note that changed while the request was running.
Copy and use
Copy a standalone prompt from its controls. For a prompt with variables, prefer Copy filled so the source remains a template. A collection card has its own copy button, and the collection header can Copy all in order.
Rename or delete
Renaming updates the Markdown filename. Before renaming a heavily linked prompt, inspect Linked from: wiki links match the title, so other notes may need to follow the new name.
Deleting a note removes its Markdown file. Confirm only after checking backlinks and, for a child prompt, the collection that owns it. Backups provide a recovery path, but are not an undo button for the current editing session.
