Prompt library

Save the prompts you send over and over, fire them from one menu, and pick where each one runs: an existing agent or a fresh one. Termic ships a diff-aware starter set you can edit or replace.

You end up typing the same things at agents all day: review this, write tests, explain what changed, commit it. The prompt library lets you save those once and fire them from the Prompts menu in the top bar, then choose where each one runs.

The Prompts menu open from Termic's top bar over a task, listing Review, Write tests, Security review, Explain the changes, Commit and push, Fix merge conflicts, Verify end to end, Fix the bug, Work on the issue, Simplify, What is the state?, Continue from last, Hand off to another agent, Update the docs and Research first, with Manage prompts at the bottom.

The menu as it ships. Every entry here is editable, and the last item opens the library.

How it works

Click Prompts in the top bar to open the menu, then pick a prompt. A dialog opens where you can tweak the text for this one send, then choose where it goes:

  • Send to a running agent: drops the prompt straight into an existing agent tab. If that agent is mid-turn, the prompt is queued and sends itself the moment the current turn finishes.
  • Start a new agent: spawns a fresh agent tab with the CLI you pick, waits for it to finish booting, and sends the prompt once it’s ready.

Editing the text in the dialog only affects that one send. Your saved prompt stays exactly as it was.

The built-in prompts

Termic ships a starter set built around the “ship a change” lifecycle. Every one is diff-aware: it knows how to find the changes on the current branch (committed and uncommitted) on its own, so you can fire it without assembling a diff yourself.

  • Review: review the branch’s changes like a careful engineer.
  • Write tests: add tests for what changed, matching your project’s existing framework and layout.
  • Security review: audit the changes for injection, secrets, auth gaps, and unsafe input handling.
  • Explain the changes: summarize the branch for a teammate about to review it.
  • Commit: stage related changes and write a Conventional Commits message.

Edit any of them, and if you change your mind, reset it back to the shipped text. A built-in you never touch always tracks the latest version Termic ships, so improved defaults reach you automatically.

Managing your prompts

Open Manage prompts… from the bottom of the Prompts menu (or Settings → Prompts). From there you can:

Termic's Prompts settings page: each prompt is a card with a drag handle, its title, a BUILT-IN badge, and edit, hide, duplicate and delete icons, with the prompt body shown in a mono block underneath. Review, Write tests, Security review, Explain the changes and Commit are visible.

The library. Drag the handle to reorder, and the order here is the order in the menu.

  • Add your own prompts with a title and body.
  • Edit any prompt’s title inline and its body in a full editor. Changes save as you type.
  • Duplicate a prompt to use one as the base for another.
  • Disable a prompt to hide it from the menu without deleting it.
  • Reorder prompts by dragging, so your most-used ones sit at the top of the menu.
  • Delete prompts you don’t want. Deleted a built-in by mistake? Restore built-in prompts brings them back without touching your custom prompts or edits.

Everything lives locally on your machine.
