New Prompt
Published Updated
What is New Prompt?
A modal in the Pipeline panel for queueing prompts directly without going through Claude Chat. Auto-fills routing tags from pasted content.
The New Prompt button (Shift+N) in the Pipeline header opens a modal where you can pick a project, type or paste a prompt, set complexity, and optionally specify dependencies. If pasted text includes `complexity:`, `model:`, or `depends_on:` tags on lines 2-4, the modal auto-fills those fields. Submits through the standard queue pipeline.
How it relates to Orbit
The New Prompt flow creates a numbered queue item and lets you choose its execution route. See The Prompt Queue for details.
When you would use it
You use New Prompt when you've already drafted the prompt elsewhere (or know exactly what you want) and want to skip the conversational layer.
