Prompts are reusable instructions that can be referenced at any time during chat. They are especially useful as context for repetitive and/or complex tasks.
Prompts were previously defined in a .prompt
file format, but for
consistency we now recommend using the same Markdown format as
rules and adding alwaysApply: false
to the frontmatter so
that they are manually triggered.
Below is a quick example of setting up a prompt file:
.continue/rules
at the top level of your workspacereview-prompt.md
to this folder.review-prompt.md
and save.Now to use this prompt, you can open Chat, type /, select the prompt, and type out any additional instructions you’d like to add.
Below are more examples to get you started. You can also visit the Hub to explore prompts or create your own.
