How it works

  1. Open Settings, then Loops, and write in Custom instructions. They are appended to the system prompt of every loop, whichever agent runs it.
  2. They always come after the agent's own prompt and never replace it, so the agent keeps what it runs on.
  3. In a loop, Loop context, at the foot of the message box after the mode, opens a sheet of what the loop loads as it starts.
  4. Its rows include Origami's prompt, your Custom instructions, the agent's own prompt, instruction files, memory, skills, subagents, MCP servers and hooks. Each says whose it is, Built-in, User or Project, and how many tokens it takes.
  5. Press a row that has a file to open it in Files.

Good to know

  • A loop loads what its agent would load in a terminal: its own settings, skills and servers.
  • Tasks a loop hands to another agent are given your instructions too.
  • GitHub Copilot does not say what else it loads, and the sheet says so.
