Prompt shortcuts

Ten numbered phrases you send to the active agent with one key — "commit and push", "run the tests", "keep going" — global or scoped to a single project.

You retype the same instructions all day: commit and push, run the tests, keep going, write it in French. Prompt shortcuts turn each one into a number.

How they work

Up to ten numbered shortcuts. Click a number — or use its key — and the phrase goes into the active agent’s prompt.

Each shortcut has:

Field Purpose
Phrase The text sent to the agent, e.g. commit and push
Short label Optional display name, so the button reads commit rather than the whole phrase
Send Insert and press Enter, instead of only inserting

Leave Send off for anything you usually complete by hand, and on for the ones that are always identical.

Global or per project

A shortcut is either Global (available in every project, badge G) or scoped to the current project (badge P).

The split that works in practice: global shortcuts for habits that never change — run the tests, commit and push, explain what you just did — and project shortcuts for the vocabulary of one codebase: rebuild the Tauri app, regenerate the locale files, follow the brief in docs/brief.md.

Reordering

Shortcuts are reordered with move-up and move-down, and the numbers follow. Keep the three you use hourly in positions 1–3; muscle memory does the rest.

Where they fit

Shortcuts act on the prompt of the currently active agent, so they compose with everything else: pick the session on the dashboard, attach a screenshot, fire shortcut 2 to send it with your standard instruction.

Frequently asked

How many shortcuts can I have?
Up to ten, numbered so each one is a single click or keystroke away.
Does a shortcut send immediately?
Only if you tick Send. Otherwise the phrase is inserted into the prompt so you can add a detail before pressing Enter.
