Prompts

Open settings (the gear icon), then Prompts. Pick one, edit it and hit Save. Reset to default brings the built-in text back.

Settings: Prompts

Prompt	What it is
protocol	The system prompt: requests, markers, the reply tools and the rules. Read it here.
run	What each run is sent: the request, the page, the kinds of request waiting.
run.project	Added to the run prompt for a page copied from a file. Says where the original is.
protocol.envelope	The text reply format, for agents that don’t have reply tools.
images	How to draw an image. The agent reads it when it needs it.
run.again	Added on Ask again, with the result you turned down.
run.next	The short prompt for each turn after the first in single-agent mode.
run.button, run.as_button	Running a button again, and Ask again as a button.
type.gen, type.sel, type.img	One for each kind of request.
review, review.<reviewer>	Page review.
chat.first, pi-chat.system, pi-chat.first	The chats.

Where your edits are saved

Your edits are saved outside the repository, one markdown file per prompt, in prompts.dir (default ~/.config/solipsist/prompts, or SOLIPSIST_PROMPTS_DIR): protocol.md, run.md, type.gen.md, and so on. A prompt with no file uses the built-in text. You can edit or delete the files by hand, since they’re read every time they’re used.

• A change takes effect on the next run and the next agent that starts. An agent that’s already running or waiting keeps the instructions it started with.
• Some prompts are templates with {slots} that the server fills in (the dialog lists them). A required slot has to stay in the text. If you save without it, the save is refused and tells you why.
• If you save text that’s identical to the built-in, the file is removed.
