System Prompts
Configure system prompts to teach agents your preferences, stack, and coding style.
What is a system prompt?
A system prompt is a block of text Sculptor adds to every message you send an agent. It defines how the agent should think, code, and communicate.
It can include:
Your role or experience level
Code quality expectations
Tech stack preferences
Style and communication guidelines
Safety rules and constraints
Tip: Think of system prompts as your "developer profile" that agents always follow.
Where system prompts are used
System prompts can be applied:
Globally for all projects
Per project for repo-specific rules
Per agent if you need specialized behavior
You can edit system prompts in the System Prompt Editor inside Sculptor.
Evolving your system prompt
Your system prompt should grow with your project and preferences.
Start with a simple version
Refine as you notice agent patterns
Reuse good prompts across projects
Note: Strong system prompts improve consistency and reduce rework.
