Pinned Prompts
Pinned prompts are named shortcuts that appear as clickable pills above the chat composer. Use them to send recurring instructions, slash commands, or multi-line prompts in a single click — without retyping or scrolling through history.
The Prompt Bar
Section titled “The Prompt Bar”When at least one pinned prompt is configured, a row of pills appears above the chat input. Each pill shows the prompt’s display name. Clicking a pill either sends the prompt immediately or inserts it into the composer, depending on whether Auto-send when clicked is enabled.
Auto-send vs Insert
Section titled “Auto-send vs Insert”Each pinned prompt has an Auto-send when clicked toggle (referred to as Auto-send below for brevity):
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Auto-send on | Clicking the pill sends the prompt immediately, as if you had typed it and pressed Enter |
| Auto-send off | Clicking the pill inserts the prompt text into the composer so you can review or edit before sending |
Use auto-send for prompts you always want to run as-is. Leave it off for templates you customize each time.
Using ”/” in Prompt Bodies
Section titled “Using ”/” in Prompt Bodies”When creating or editing a pinned prompt, the prompt body field supports the same / slash command picker as the main chat composer. Type / to open the picker and select a command to insert it.
This lets you build prompts that combine slash commands with custom context — for example, a “Review changes” prompt that runs /review followed by project-specific instructions.
Global Prompts
Section titled “Global Prompts”Global pinned prompts appear in every repository. Manage them at Settings → Pinned Prompts.
To create a global prompt:
- Open Settings → Pinned Prompts
- Click Add prompt
- Enter a Display name (shown on the pill) and the Prompt body
- Toggle Auto-send on or off
- Click Save
Use the ↑ and ↓ buttons to reorder prompts within the list. Order is preserved in the pill bar.
Repo-Specific Prompts
Section titled “Repo-Specific Prompts”Each repository can have its own pinned prompts that appear only when working in that repo. Manage them at Settings → [Repository Name] → Pinned Prompts.
Repo prompts appear before global prompts in the pill bar. See Per-Repo Settings for other repository-level configuration.
Inheritance and Overrides
Section titled “Inheritance and Overrides”Repositories inherit all global pinned prompts automatically. If a repo defines a prompt with the same display name as a global prompt, the repo’s version takes precedence and the global one is hidden.
In repo settings, inherited global prompts are listed below the repo-specific prompts. Any global prompt that is being overridden by a repo prompt of the same display name shows an Overridden badge.
This lets you define a common baseline globally while tailoring specific prompts per project — for example, a global “Run tests” prompt that a repo overrides with its specific test command.
