Find and reuse prompts for your assistant

Find a prompt for the work you want done#

Open Prompts → All prompts in the workspace header. Its sample requests cover posts and threads, managing posts, Ideas and research, blogs, article editions, voice and style, calendar and slots, images and video, insights, AI actions, routines, approved X publishing, bulk changes, and setup.

Search for words such as hooks, weekly plan or Medium. Narrow the results by Category and Tag, then use Previous and Next for additional pages. Search checks the title, description, full prompt, tags and category. Your search, filters and page are kept in the URL so you can return to the same view.

Read the description and tags, then choose View full prompt to inspect the complete request. Prompts describe different outcomes: feedback in the conversation, a saved private draft, an edit, or running previously saved work. Choose the outcome you intend.

Copy, fill in the details and send#

Copying a prompt does not execute it. A prompt that saves an AI action creates queued work; use a run request when you want the assistant to complete it. Publication prompts manage existing owner-approved X jobs and still require the connection's separate publishing permission.

1. 1

   Connect your assistant with the OwnPost plugin or an authenticated MCP connection. The Connect your assistant button opens the workspace connection settings.

2. 2

   Select the account you want to work on in OwnPost before copying. Choose Copy prompt; the copied text includes that local account's ID and asks the assistant to verify and use it for account-specific work.

3. 3

   Replace the bracketed details with your facts, topic, source URLs, IDs, dates or other requested information. Keep the appended account context with the request.

4. 4

   Paste the completed request into your connected assistant and send it. Review its result and reopen any saved article, post or report in OwnPost.

Keep frequently used prompts close#

Favorites are saved to your workspace for your owner login. They keep a shortcut to the sample prompt; replace its bracketed details each time you use it.

1. 1

   Choose the star on a prompt card and wait for Added to favorites.

2. 2

   Open Favorites to show your saved prompts. Search and category or tag filters also work within Favorites.

3. 3

   Choose the star again to remove a favorite, or All prompts to return to the complete library.

A prompt for your next project update#

Search for project update, inspect Write a project update, and copy it after selecting the destination account. Replace the project, change, reason, lesson and next step with facts from your own work. For example:

In OwnPost, write and save one build-in-public update about my note-taking app. What changed: I added export of selected notes as Markdown. Why: users wanted to move selected notes into their own tools. What I learned: preserving line breaks matters for readable exports. Next step: test the export with a larger collection. Use only the experience I supplied.

When copying or favorites need attention#

If clipboard access is unavailable, OwnPost opens and selects the full prompt for manual copying. Copy that text, including its account context, and continue in your assistant.

If favorites fail to load, choose Retry favorites. If a star change fails to save, retry that change and confirm the success message before leaving. The rest of the catalog remains available. Clear filters if a search or Favorites view hides a prompt you expected to see.

If your assistant cannot read or update OwnPost, check the connection and its permissions. A sample prompt does not install a missing skill or grant additional access.
