## Description

The Prompts panel lets you craft every layer of an agent’s dialogue—from its core personality to the greeting, guided suggestions, and always‑visible shortcuts. By mixing System, Proactive, Guided, and Suggested prompts, you can shape a tutor that mirrors your teaching voice, keeps learners on task, and delivers consistent, on‑brand support.
