Prompt library

A prompt library is a small set of repeatable requests stored with your project documentation or packaged as a supported skill. Nova does not treat an arbitrary file as a trusted command.

Write prompts that Nova can verify

Use a clear outcome, constraints, and an acceptance check:

Review the staged payment changes for regressions and missing tests. Do not edit files. Report findings with the file, impact, and evidence.

For a change request, include what must remain compatible and the test or check Nova should run. Keep prompts alongside the repository when they encode project-specific conventions.

Keep reusable prompts safe

Prompts can request tool use but cannot grant capabilities or bypass approvals. Review the source of a shared prompt or skill, remove credentials and customer data, and do not rely on it to approve destructive or external actions.
