You've asked Meggy to summarize your meeting notes the same way three times this week, typing out the same detailed instructions each time. There's a better way — prompt shortcuts let you save any prompt as a reusable slash command and trigger it with a few keystrokes.
Prompt shortcuts are saved prompts that you can invoke by typing / followed by the shortcut name. Instead of writing out a multi-line prompt every time, you create it once and reuse it forever.
For example, instead of typing:
"Summarize the following meeting notes. Focus on action items, decisions made, and open questions. Format as bullet points with the person responsible noted in parentheses."
You could simply type /meeting-summary and the full prompt is injected automatically.
Creating a shortcut is straightforward:
Shortcuts can include placeholders — dynamic sections that you fill in when invoking. Wrap any variable part in curly braces:
Translate the following text to {language}:
{text}
When you invoke /translate, Meggy prompts you to fill in language and text before executing.
Meggy organizes shortcuts into categories for easy discovery:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Writing | Summarize, proofread, rewrite for tone, expand outline |
| Code | Review code, explain function, write unit test, refactor |
| Research | Deep search, compare options, fact-check, cite sources |
| Creative | Brainstorm ideas, write story, generate names, roleplay |
| Productivity | Meeting notes, email draft, task breakdown, daily plan |
You can create custom categories for shortcuts unique to your workflow.
Shortcuts can reference other shortcuts, creating multi-step workflows. For example, a /weekly-report shortcut might internally invoke /summarize-tasks, /highlight-blockers, and /draft-status-email in sequence.
This turns simple text shortcuts into powerful workflow automation — without writing any code.
The shortcut library provides a searchable, filterable view of all your saved shortcuts. From here you can:
/weekly-standup-summary is better than /ws/ to see available shortcutsPrompt shortcuts turn your best prompting patterns into one-click actions. The more you use them, the faster your AI workflow becomes.
