Prompt Tools group

What it is

The Prompt Tools group is a collapsible row in the Omniscio projects sidebar that gathers the features for crafting, running, and reusing prompts into one place. It ships collapsed by default — click its chevron to expand.

What's inside

• Super Prompts — browse and launch the reusable prompt library (the curated starter prompts; pin, duplicate, or author your own).
• Super Prompt Creator — design a brand-new super-prompt through a guided interview (the "PromptArchitect" builtin super-prompt).
• Bake-Off — launch one prompt across many projects × harness setups at once (formerly "Fan Out").
• AI Council — ask a panel of AI models one question and get a single synthesized answer (gated on the multi-model-council feature).
• Clean Room — spawn a totally fresh, vanilla Claude Code session (zero customization) to test a prompt.
• Missions — browse and launch the Mission hubs. A mission is a curated prompt you run, so it sorts here with the other run-a-prompt rows rather than under AI Tools (missions-hub.md).

Where to find it

The group is a row in the Omniscio projects sidebar, normally sitting collapsed so it takes up one line until you expand it. The same tools are also reachable from the sessions sidebar's ⋮ overflow menu → Prompt Tools ▸ submenu, which opens them as modals without leaving the current view.

How it behaves

How to use it

• Click the chevron on the left of the row to expand/collapse. The choice persists across launches.
• Click the group row itself (not the chevron) to open a small roll-up panel that lists the members; each one is a shortcut.
• Four of the six members are action rows: clicking Super Prompts / Super Prompt Creator / Bake-Off / AI Council fires the action (open the picker, launch the creator prompt, open the Bake-Off dialog, launch a default council) instead of switching to a panel. Clean Room spawns a fresh session; Missions opens its own hub.
• To move a member out for solo sidebar use, drag it or right-click and choose Remove from Category; Return to Prompt Tools puts it back.

From the sessions ⋮ menu (Prompt Tools submenu)

Besides the sidebar group, every prompt tool is reachable from the sessions sidebar's ⋮ overflow menu → Prompt Tools ▸ submenu (this replaced the old single "Super Prompts" menu item). The flyout opens with a Prompt Tools Hub row preselected (focused), followed by each tool. Clicking a row opens that tool's modal without leaving the current view:

• Overseer opens a modal that starts an always-on Overseer watching the repo you are currently in — the point being you can do it from any repo without going to Settings. It writes one thing (that project's Overseer override) and launches with the stock instructions; renaming it or changing what it watches for stays in the Overseers panel, which owns that editor. The row appears only when the overseer feature is on, and the button is disabled when the project already has one or when no project is selected.
• Super Prompts / Bake-Off open their existing picker / fan-out dialog.
• AI Council opens a modal to type a question and pick a panel (council template), then launches a council seeded with that question.
• Clean Room opens a modal to pick a provider/model (and an optional first message), then starts the vanilla session.
• Super Prompt Creator opens a launcher that starts the guided interview (the interview itself collects what you want to build).
• Prompt Tools Hub opens a modal listing every tool; clicking one opens that tool's modal.

AI Council appears in the submenu (and the Hub modal) only when the multi-model-council feature is visible; Overseer likewise appears only when the overseer feature is visible. Note that Overseer is in the ⋮ submenu and the Hub modal but not in the sidebar group's member list. The submenu shows wherever the standard sessions sidebar renders (shouldShowSuperPromptsMenuItem).

For agents

prompt-tools entry in integration-registry.ts; its children carry parentGroupId: 'prompt-tools'. The four action rows (bakeoff, super-prompts, super-prompt-creator, ai-council-launch) are rendersPanel: false and non-spawnable; their click is intercepted at the universal funnel setActiveProject via maybeHandleSidebarAction / SIDEBAR_ACTION_ROWS (sidebar-action-rows.ts), which dispatches an amc:sidebar-action window event handled in useAppCustomEvents.ts. Collapse state: promptToolsCollapsed (default true). See the sidebar category grouping contract.

⋮-menu submenu + modals: the sessions ⋮ menu's Prompt Tools entry is a submenu on SidebarHeaderMenuItem (SidebarHeaderMenu.tsx), wired in SidebarHeader.tsx and gated by the same shouldShowSuperPromptsMenuItem predicate. Each row opens a modal via usePromptToolModalStore (prompt-tool-modal-store.ts); the four modals live in features/prompt-tools/ and mount lazily from GlobalModals.tsx. AI Council launch reuses the fail-closed requestCouncilQuickLaunch (council-launch.ts) with an additive optional templateId on PendingCouncilQuickLaunch; the AI Council row/modal is gated on isUnreleasedFeatureVisibleInRenderer('multi-model-council', …).
