Prompt Snippets

Prompt snippets are reusable template fragments that you can include in any prompt. They help you maintain consistency, reduce duplication, and make updates easier.

What Are Snippets?

A snippet is a named piece of Liquid template that can be included in any prompt:

{% include 'json-output-instructions' %}

When the prompt is rendered, the snippet content is inserted in place.

Why Use Snippets?

Consistency

Use the same instructions across all prompts

Maintainability

Update once, applied everywhere

Cleaner Prompts

Keep prompts focused on their specific task

Best Practices

Encode your standards into reusable components

Creating a Snippet

Navigate to Prompt Snippets

Click Prompt Snippets in the sidebar.

Click Create Snippet

Click the Create Snippet button.

Configure the Snippet

Field	Description
Name	Display name (e.g., “JSON Output Instructions”)
Slug	Identifier used in includes (e.g., “json-output-instructions”)
Content	The template content

Save

Click Save to create the snippet.

Slug Requirements

The slug is what you use in {% include %} tags:

Lowercase letters and hyphens only
No spaces or special characters
Must be unique across your tenant

✅ json-output-instructions
✅ tone-formal
❌ JSON Output (spaces, capitals)
❌ tone/formal (special characters)

Using Snippets

Include a snippet in any prompt template:

You are a helpful assistant.

{{ inputs.instruction }}

{% include 'json-output-instructions' %}

Where Snippets Work

✅ Prompt templates
✅ Within other snippets (nested includes)
❌ Input/output schemas (JSON only)

Example Snippets

JSON Output Instructions

Slug: json-output-instructions

## Output Format
Return your response as valid JSON only.
- Do not include any text before or after the JSON
- Do not wrap in markdown code blocks
- Ensure all strings are properly escaped
- Use double quotes for strings

Tone Guidelines

Slug: tone-formal

## Tone Guidelines
- Use professional, formal language
- Avoid contractions (use "do not" instead of "don't")
- Maintain a respectful, objective tone
- Be concise and direct

Slug: tone-casual

## Tone Guidelines
- Keep it friendly and approachable
- Contractions are fine
- Use conversational language
- Feel free to add light humor when appropriate

Error Handling Instructions

Slug: error-handling

## Handling Uncertain Cases
If you cannot complete the task or the input is invalid:
- Return a JSON object with "error": true
- Include "message" explaining the issue
- Do not make up information
- Example: {"error": true, "message": "Input text is too short to analyze"}

Language Instructions

Slug: respond-in-language

{% if inputs.language %}
## Response Language
Respond in {{ inputs.language }}. If you cannot write fluently in this language, respond in English and note the limitation.
{% endif %}

Conditional Snippets

Snippets can use the same input variables as your prompt:

{% if inputs.detailed_response %}
Provide a comprehensive, detailed response with examples and explanations.
{% else %}
Keep your response concise and to the point.
{% endif %}

Nested Includes

Snippets can include other snippets: Snippet: standard-instructions

{% include 'tone-formal' %}
{% include 'json-output-instructions' %}
{% include 'error-handling' %}

In your prompt:

Analyze this text: {{ inputs.text }}

{% include 'standard-instructions' %}

Avoid circular includes (A includes B, B includes A). This will cause an error.

Managing Snippets

Editing Snippets

Open Prompt Snippets
Click the snippet to edit
Make changes
Save

Changes to snippets apply immediately to all prompts that include them. Test affected prompts after making changes.

Deleting Snippets

Before deleting a snippet:

Search for its usage in prompts
Remove or replace the {% include %} tags
Then delete the snippet

Deleting a snippet used by prompts will cause those prompts to fail with an “include not found” error.

Finding Snippet Usage

To find which prompts use a snippet:

Open the snippet
Look for a Used By or References section
Click through to see the prompts

Best Practices

Keep snippets focused

Each snippet should do one thing well. Prefer multiple small snippets over one large one.

Use descriptive slugs

The slug should clearly indicate what the snippet does: json-output-instructions not snippet1.

Document your snippets

Add comments in the snippet content explaining its purpose.

Test after changes

When you update a snippet, test the prompts that use it.

Create a snippet library

Build a collection of standard snippets for common patterns in your organization.
