Description

I'm using Continue with the following setup:

  1. Primary configuration file: config.yaml
  2. Custom prompts stored in: C:/Users/<username>/.continue/prompts
  • Continue successfully detects prompt files in the prompts directory and displays filenames in the slash command candidates list
  • BUT selecting these prompts results in empty content (appears unparsed)
  • WORKAROUND: When placing the same prompt in config.yaml with yaml format, it functions properly (shows name/description and inserts content)

Example:

name: explain in detail
description: explain in detail
---
{{{input}}}
Please read the code and explain it step by step.

To reproduce

  1. Create folder C:/Users/<username>/.continue/prompts
  2. new file: explain_in_detail.prompt
  3. insert conent as example above.
  4. call slash command in continue
