# Prompts library

Ekorbia's prompts library is a folder of Markdown files. Each `.md` file is one reusable system prompt — a persona, a task template, a style guide, anything you want the model to start each chat with already in mind. The library is git-friendly, shareable, and editable in any text editor.

The library lives at `~/Documents/Ekorbia/Prompts/` by default. You can change the location in **Settings → Prompts**.

If you ever delete some of these by accident, **Settings → Prompts → Restore built-in prompts** re-copies them.

## Using a prompt in a chat

In the composer, click the **prompt-attach button** (📋 icon) to see your prompts. Pick one and it attaches as a chip above the textarea. When you send your message, the prompt is included as a system message at the top of the conversation.

You can attach **multiple prompts** to a single chat — they're concatenated in attach order. Click the `×` on a prompt chip to detach it.

## The prompts panel

Open the **Prompts** tab in the right sidebar to see the full library:

- **Search box** at the top — searches across prompt names, body text, and tags
- **Favorite filter** chips — five colored buckets you can use to categorize personal favorites
- **Tag filter** chips — free-text tags pulled from each prompt's frontmatter
- **Sort options** — Recent / A→Z / Z→A / Favorite (default: A→Z)
- **List on the left**, **prompt body on the right** — the column is resizable

Right-click any prompt in the list for actions:

- Attach to current chat
- Edit (opens the `.md` file in your default editor)
- Reveal in Finder
- Set favorite color (None / Red / Yellow / Green / Blue / Purple)
- Delete

## The `.md` file format

Every prompt is a Markdown file with optional YAML **frontmatter**:
