  2. Instructions

General

The general tab gives you a unified overview of the most essential parts of a prompt.

In the presets section, you have quick-access to all the presets associated with the prompt. You can also create new presets and add in

You can click the dropdown arrow to minimize and maximize the preset.

Preset management for a prompt in the prompt library

If you have used a prompt without a preset, you will also see these here, under the Recently Used section, where you can add them to your presets.

For a comprehensive overview of presets, you can see our preset documentation.

  1. Name. How your preset will appear in the prompt selection menus.
  2. Model. The default model set for this preset. You can select from any model in the prompt’s model bank.
  3. Input values. The inputs that you want to keep constant in your preset. Leave blank any that you don’t need, or will change on a per-message basis.

Models

In the models section, you can select all of the LLMs that you wish to use your prompt with. Unless you have a tried-and-true favourite, it is a good idea to experiment with the different models, as each have their own unique flavour.

Model management for a prompt in the prompt library

  1. If you have cloned the system prompt, or added a prompt from someone else’s library, it is likely that this section is pre-populated with models. You will see these here.

  2. You can clone, copy, or delete any models added.

  3. Add models using either + Add Model to add from scratch, or Add from Clipboard (3) to add models from another prompt. Editing a model within the models section

  4. Name. If you select the model first, this will be auto-populated. You may wish to include other details to identify it if you are playing around with model parameters, for easy access.

  5. Model. This list will vary depending on what AI vendors you have connected to.

  6. Model Parameters. The basic parameters that you will play with regarding your model. Leaving a field blank will set the values to the model defaults. You can learn more about model parameters in our glossary.

  7. Advanced Settings.

  8. + Attach a Collection allows you to add a model collection to your prompt

General Settings

General settings for a prompt

In the general settings, you can:

  1. Define the type of prompt.
  2. Choose the moderation behaviour.

Instructions

This is the heart of a prompt. You can input your system message, and add in as many user and/or AI messages as you wish. If two user/AI messages are consecutive, or the message between them is empty, they will be merged into one message.

Instructions for a prompt

  1. System Message.
  2. User/AI messages.
  3. Change the message type (user or AI)
  4. Copy Message
  5. Delete Message
  6. Add Message to add another User/AI message

You can also use the history button to show past iterations of your prompt, and to restore any of these versions. These work on a whole-prompt basis, rather than a per system/user/AI message.

Advanced

Inputs are where you define the selections you can make before sending a prompt. The system prompts all include inputs, covering word count, rephrase type, and allowing scene/snippet/codex context.

The input tab is made up of two sections (depending on your screen size these may appear side-by-side, or stacked).

  1. Create and edit your inputs. For more information on prompt inputs, see here. You can click on the > to open and close an input.
  2. Copy to clipboard, clone, or delete an input.
  3. Add a new input.
  4. Add any missing inputs from the prompt.
  5. Add an input from the clipboard
  6. Included Components. See any components that are included in your prompt.
