The Prompt Library lets you save prompts you use often and paste them into any terminal session instantly. No copy-pasting from a notes app — just type // and pick from your list.

​
Creating a Prompt

Open the Prompts panel from the sidebar rail. Click the + button at the top. Each prompt has two fields:
  • Name — A short label for the prompt (up to 60 characters). This is what you’ll search for.
  • Text — The full prompt text that gets pasted into the terminal.
Click Add to save, or press Ctrl+Enter / Cmd+Enter from the text field.

​
Using a Prompt

There are two ways to paste a prompt into a terminal session.

​
Click to paste

Click any prompt in the Prompts panel. The text is sent directly to the active terminal session, and the terminal regains focus.

​
Autocomplete with //

Type // in any terminal to open the autocomplete dropdown. This is the fastest way to use prompts during a session.
  1. Type // — the first / goes to the terminal, the second activates autocomplete and erases the first
  2. Start typing to filter by name or prompt text
  3. Use Arrow keys to navigate the list
  4. Press Enter or Tab to paste the selected prompt
  5. Press Escape to cancel
The autocomplete searches both prompt names and prompt text, and highlights matching characters in the results.
The // trigger only activates when you have at least one prompt saved. If your library is empty, / characters pass through to the terminal normally.

​
Editing and Deleting

Hover over any prompt in the list to reveal the edit and delete buttons.
  • Edit — Opens the editor with the existing name and text pre-filled. Click Save to update.
  • Delete — Removes the prompt immediately. There is no confirmation dialog.

​
Storage

Prompts are stored in your CliDeck configuration file (~/.clideck/config.json) under the prompts array. They sync across all connected browser tabs automatically.
