Adjust system prompt

Engine ships with a default system prompt that should work well for most codebases.

You can automatically optimise the prompt for your codebase by clicking 'Optimise prompt'.

This will analyse your codebase and add any important information to the prompt.

Feel free to adjust this prompt to fit your needs. Reasons you might like to change the system prompt include:

  • Adherence to programming style guides

  • Change how Engine communicates with you

  • Reduce edge-case errors on your codebase

You can always reset the original system prompt by clicking 'Reset prompt' and remember to save any changes you make.
