Prompts & Sequences

Prompts & Sequences is where good instructions stop being retyped. A prompt is a library asset: saved once with a title, content, a target model, and tags, then inserted into any chat in one click or one keystroke. A sequence chains those prompts into an ordered workflow that runs whenever the work repeats. This section covers the full life of both: saving, tagging, inserting, building, and managing, across every surface.

How prompts and sequences work#

  • Prompts are assets, not snippets: Each carries a title, its content, a target model, and tags. The model is organisational, so any prompt inserts on either platform.
  • Variables turn prompts into templates: {{variable}} placeholders ask for their values at insertion, so one prompt serves many runs.
  • Sequences chain prompts by reference: Steps point at library prompts rather than copying them, so editing a prompt updates every workflow that carries it.
  • Insertion never sends: Every route lands the text in the chat input, editable. You review it, then you send it.
  • One library, everywhere: The same prompts and sequences serve chatgpt.com and claude.ai, syncing through PENDING to SYNCED with Cloud Sync & Intelligence on.

The pages in this section#

PageWhat it coversGo here when you want to…
Prompt and sequence interfacesEvery access point: the sidebar's Act tab, the // shortcut, the pop-up route, and the main page libraries.Find where prompts and sequences live across the surfaces.
Save a prompt from the sidebarThe Add New Prompt form beside the chat: the fields, variables, and saving straight from a captured turn.Save a prompt without leaving the conversation.
Save a prompt from the main pageThe same form as a modal over your library, plus editing and duplicating saved prompts.Build out your library away from the chat.
Manage tagsThe shared tag system: assigning on the save forms, and creating, nesting, renaming, and deleting in Manage Tags.Organise prompts and sequences by subject.
Insert a prompt from the sidebarInsert Prompt/Pin: search and filters, preview, the insert control, the Fill Prompt Variables dialog, and the Pin tab.Insert with the library open beside the chat.
Insert a prompt with the shortcutThe // menu and the full keyboard flow: Tab to insert, and the Enter mistake to avoid.Insert without touching the mouse.
Insert a prompt from the main pageCopy prompt content and the clipboard route, with variables travelling as placeholders.Take a prompt anywhere you can paste.
Build a sequence from the main pageThe Add Sequence builder: steps from your library, drag to reorder, then edit, duplicate, and delete.Turn a repeated workflow into a saved sequence.
Insert a sequence from the sidebarRunning a saved workflow in the chat with Insert Prompt Sequence, the only insertion route for sequences.Run a workflow step by step.
Search and filterSearch on every surface, the tag, model, and library filters, and universal search.Find anything in the library fast.
Manage the prompt and sequence libraryBoth library views end to end: rows and actions, content preview, CSV import, and the bulk tools.Run the library at scale.

Where to next#

Prompts saved from a captured turn begin in Conversations. The Optimize button and Insert Chat Summary draw on the credit pool, covered in Enhance. Ready-made prompts and sequences come from Explore Templates, arriving as linked templates that stay read-only until forked. Exporting the library lives under Cloud Sync & Data.
