Edit a prompt

Edit a prompt

You can change the text of any prompt the app sends to a language model, then reset it back to the shipped version at any time.

Open the prompt manager

1. Open the settings window: push Settings in the setup menu, or push Ctrl+,.
2. Select the LLM prompts category.
3. Push the button of the Prompt manager row.

The manager lists every prompt by key. Each row shows a badge — Factory, App, or Project — for where its active text comes from.

Edit the text

1. Select a prompt to open the editor.
2. Change the name, description, or body.
3. The editor saves when you leave a field. Your first edit creates an override at the current scope, so the badge changes from Factory to App (or Project). This is normal — the shipped version is never lost.

The editor lists the variables a prompt accepts (for example {{planPath}}). Keep these tokens in the body. The app fills each one in at send time. A body with a missing token still sends, but the token stays visible in the message.

Reset to the factory version

1. Open the prompt.
2. Select Reset to factory.
3. Confirm in the menu.

Reset removes your override and reveals the tier below — ultimately the shipped factory text.

A note on load-bearing prompts

One prompt, core.trove.claude-md, carries Trove's operating rules (commit discipline, no push or rebase, text-only interface). The editor shows a warning banner on this prompt. You can still edit it, but a wrong change can break Trove's autonomous sessions. Use Reset to factory to restore it.
