Chatter Prompts

This page is for reading and editing the prompts that drive an assistant’s conversation. A chatter prompt is the instruction text sent to the LLM — the assistant’s role, its rules, and how it should use its tools.

Chatter Prompts

The tabs across the top switch between the assistant’s prompts. The main pane shows the prompt as it is stored; a default badge on a tab means the built-in default is in use and nothing has been customized yet. The side panel has two tabs:

TabDescription
ConfigThe prompt’s settings — LLM connection, whether tools are enabled (with max iterations), streamed prompt, and whether chat history is included. Values marked default are inherited; changing one overrides it for this assistant.
TestRun the prompt against a test question directly from the page, without leaving the configuration.

The prompt editor

Press Edit to open the full editor:

Prompt editor

The left pane is the prompt source. Ctrl+S saves, and the Diff button shows what you have changed compared to the saved (or default) version. Prompts are organized in #!-sections — #! System holds the system instruction, and special sections like #! Config (JSON settings) and #! ToDo are documented in the editor’s Docs tab.

The side panel adds two tabs on top of Config and Test:

TabDescription
HelperAn AI assistant for prompt engineering. It sees the prompt and your latest test run, answers questions about it, and can propose edits that you apply directly to the editor buffer.
DocsReference documentation for the prompt format — sections, placeholders and scripting.

A useful loop: run a question under Test, ask the Helper why the answer came out the way it did, apply its suggested edit, and re-run the test — all without leaving the editor.

Saving overwrites the assistant’s stored prompt. The built-in default is never lost — a prompt that is reverted to empty falls back to the default text (in the language selected by Prompt language on the General Settings page).
