Saved prompts are a personal library of reusable text you paste into AI sessions or shells — review instructions, scaffolding requests, commit-message conventions, anything you type often. Quorum Terminal keeps them one click away in the right dock so you stop retyping the same prompt across terminals.
What saved prompts are
Each saved prompt has a title, the prompt content itself, and a category. Quorum Terminal stores them as plain JSON on your machine and never sends them anywhere — like the rest of the app, your prompts stay local.
You manage them in the Saved Prompts panel in the right dock. Toggle it with ⌘ ⇧ S. The panel lists your prompts as cards; a search box filters by title and content, and a scope dropdown narrows the view.
Scopes and categories
A prompt lives in one of two scopes:
| Scope | Where it lives | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Global | Available in every project | Prompts you reuse everywhere |
| Project | The open project only, stored in its .frame/ folder | Prompts specific to one codebase |
A G or P badge on each card marks its scope. The project scope is only selectable while a project is open; with no project open, you work with global prompts. The scope dropdown lets you view all prompts, only global, or only project.
Every prompt also carries a category (defaulting to general) shown as a tag on the card — a lightweight label to keep a growing library organized.
Using a prompt
There are two ways to put a saved prompt to work:
- Copy — the copy button places the content on your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere.
- Drag — drag a card from the panel directly into a terminal to drop its content there.
Star a prompt to mark it a favorite. Favorites pin to the top of the list; everything else is ordered newest first.
Managing your library
Use Add to create a prompt: enter a title, the content, and an optional category, then pick its scope. Each card also has edit and delete buttons. You can also save a prompt straight from your AI Prompt History (⌘ ⇧ H) into the library, where it is given a unique title and skipped if identical content already exists. Changes sync live across open Quorum Terminal windows.
