GPT Config

The GPT Config tab holds the copilot prompt: plain-language instructions InSkill GPT follows in every conversation with the copilot.

The GPT Config tab of a copilot holds the copilot prompt: persistent, plain-language instructions that InSkill GPT follows in every conversation with that copilot. It sits on top of InSkill's protected system prompt, which you cannot change.

The GPT Config tab of a copilot, with the Prompt field, the Active toggle, and the Save and Cancel buttons.

A copilot's GPT Config tab

Editing the Prompt

  1. In the Copilots portal, select the copilot and open the GPT Config tab.
  2. Enter or edit the instructions in the Prompt field.
  3. Make sure Active is on.
  4. Click Save, or click Cancel to discard your changes.

Active

The Active toggle turns the prompt on or off. When Active is off, the prompt text is kept but ignored by InSkill GPT. Turn it back on to use the prompt again.

What a Copilot Prompt Can Do

  • Terminology: add product terminology and naming conventions.
  • Equipment-specific rules: for example, never recommend an adjustment to one setting without a particular pre-check.
  • Safety emphasis: always lead with safety warnings when discussing high-voltage components, or require Lockout/Tagout reminders.
  • Units: display measurements in a specific unit, such as torque in newton-meters.
  • Filtering: exclude outdated procedures or irrelevant model variations.
  • Presentation: ask for technical data in tables or bulleted lists.

For the general rules on writing a prompt and what to avoid, see GPT Prompting.

Prompt Lifecycle

  • Prompt updates take effect when a new conversation is started.
  • The prompt is inherited by any copilot that uses this copilot as a component.

Examples

Terminology

  • Refer to the Load Cell as Force Sensor in all operator-facing responses.
  • Use the abbreviation MFI instead of Melt Flow Index.
  • Treat oil as coolant.

Safety and compliance

  • If the Technician must access internal panels, include: Lockout/Tagout required.
  • If a step involves lifting heavy parts, remind them to use a two-person lift.

General guidance

  • Use metric units unless the question uses imperial.
  • Assume five- and six-digit numbers without additional context are alarm codes.
  • When recommending calibration steps, include the expected duration for planning.
