Advanced instructions editor

This section is intended for more experienced users of the platform.

Now that we understand the importance of our Agent's instructions, let's take a closer look at how to use the advanced editor.

Accessing the advanced editor

To open the advanced editor for your Agent, follow these steps:

1. Select Settings in your Agent's sidebar;

2. On the page, go to the AI section;

3. Find the "Instructions" field and click "Expand".

Advanced editor interface

The advanced editor features a complete interface that includes:

• main writing area;

• top toolbar;

• right side panel.

Main writing area

The central area shows your instructions as plain text, with syntax highlighting to make reading and editing easier.

Top toolbar

At the top of the editor you'll find:

• "Copy" button: copies the instructions to the clipboard;

• "Undo" button (Ctrl+Z): undoes the last changes;

• "Auto-save" toggle: when enabled, automatically saves changes as you type;

• "Mode" menu: lets you choose between different display modes:

  • "Text": simple plain text view with no formatting;

  • "Text (markdown)": shows the text with markdown syntax visible;

  • "Preview (markdown)": renders the text formatted according to markdown rules;

  • "Split view": splits the screen to show both the markdown code and its rendered preview at the same time.

• "Expand sidebar" button: expands or collapses the right side panel.

Right side panel — Characters

The "Characters" panel shows useful information about your instructions text:

• character count: 0 / 10000;

• words: 0;

• paragraphs: 0.

The recommended character count is 10,000 but no hard limit is enforced. It's possible to write instructions up to 70,000 characters long.

Right side panel — Prompt Template

The "Prompt Template" section lets you see some characteristics of your instructions and the enabled functions.

This section shows the functions currently active for your Agent:

• example: "ContextVariables";

• example: "PerplexitySearch".

These functions extend your Agent's capabilities and can be managed from the dedicated section.

At the bottom of the right side panel there is also a button that opens a menu with two options:

• import instructions from another Agent;

• export instructions from this Agent.

Tips for effective use

• Use auto-save: enable the "Auto-save" toggle to avoid losing changes while editing;

• Monitor the character count: keep an eye on the "Characters" panel to stay within the recommended limits and optimize your Agent's performance;

• Test your changes: after saving the instructions, always test your Agent's behavior to verify it correctly follows the new directives.
