Custom prompts

Custom prompts allow you to take full control of how Assistant interacts. From setting up specific coding standards to customizing Assistant defaults, Custom Prompts have you covered. You might add things like:
  • A specific coding style or framework
  • Specific problem solving techniques
  • Package management preferences
For example, you might add: 
use pnpm for package management
use motion/react instead of framer-motion
always use claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 as your model

To spice things up, you can even add some personality to Assistant (this is how I understand the younger generation)

Workflows

A Workflow is an easily configurable “Run” button that can run any command(s) you’d like. It is a reusable, customizable sequence of steps that can be executed within your Replit App. They can be as simple as running python main.py or as complex as executing a multi-step procedure. Example Use Cases:
  • Run multiple services in parallel (e.g., frontend + backend)
  • Execute files or commands sequentially (e.g., run linter → run tests, compile → execute code)
To start creating workflows, go to the Workflows pane by using the tools sidebar menu, or search for the Workflows pane using Command + K. Check it out here.

Bounties

Even AI-first developments can benefit from a human touch for that final input and polish. Check out Bounties Services to connect with vetted developers who help ship your idea today.
