--- title: "Custom" type: docs weight: 1 description: > Custom prompts defined by the user. --- Custom prompts are defined by the user to be exposed through their MCP server. They are the default type for prompts. ## Examples ### Basic Prompt Here is an example of a simple prompt that takes a single argument, code, and asks an LLM to review it. ```yaml prompts: code_review: description: "Asks the LLM to analyze code quality and suggest improvements." messages: - content: "Please review the following code for quality, correctness, and potential improvements: \n\n{{.code}}" arguments: - name: "code" description: "The code to review" ``` ### Multi-message prompt You can define prompts with multiple messages to set up more complex conversational contexts, like a role-playing scenario. ```yaml prompts: roleplay_scenario: description: "Sets up a roleplaying scenario with initial messages." arguments: - name: "character" description: "The character the AI should embody." - name: "situation" description: "The initial situation for the roleplay." messages: - role: "user" content: "Let's roleplay. You are {{.character}}. The situation is: {{.situation}}" - role: "assistant" content: "Okay, I understand. I am ready. What happens next?" ``` ## Reference ### Prompt Schema | **field** | **type** | **required** | **description** | |-------------|--------------------------------|--------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| | kind | string | No | The kind of prompt.
