Your own routines, for any agent.

A habit is a routine you write once in plain steps, like “deploy” or “start my day”. Say its name and your agent runs the steps with its own tools. Prism stores them and hands them over.

Your agent

Yourun my deploy habit

Prismhabits “deploy” · checklist
1. shell: npm run build
2. shell: npm run lint
3. shell: npm run deploy:staging
note: unknown source label: use whichever tool fits

Your agent✓ build ✓ lint ✓ deploy:staging. Staging is updated.

~/northwind

$ prism habit add "deploy" --description "Build, lint, then ship to staging" --step "shell: npm run build" --step "shell: npm run lint" --step "shell: npm run deploy:staging" --output checklistAdded habit “deploy” (3 steps). Ask your agent: “run my deploy habit”.

“deploy”: build and lint, then your own deploy script. Save it with prism habit add.

Steps in plain words

Each step is “source: action”, like shell: npm run build or github: list my open PRs.

Your agent runs them

With its own tools: your shell, GitHub, Linear and more. If one is not connected, it says so and moves on.

Output your way

A standup, summary, checklist, table or free text.

Stays local

Each habit is a skill file in ~/.prism/skills. Prism refuses steps that look like secrets.

Any agent

Every connected agent gets the same habit through Prism’s habits tool.

Prism runs nothing

It stores the steps and hands them to your agent. The commands are your own.

Habit

Start your day

Say “run my start my day habit”. Your open PRs and issues, as a standup.

Your agent

Yourun my start my day habit

Prismhabits “start my day” · standup
1. github: list my open PRs and review requests
2. linear: my in-progress issues

Your agentStandup: 3 open PRs, 1 review request, 2 issues in progress.

Habit

Write release notes

Say “run my release notes habit”. Merged PRs since the last tag, grouped into a summary.

Your agent

Yourun my release notes habit

Prismhabits “release notes” · summary
1. github: list PRs merged since the last tag
2. github: group them by label

Habit

Sort new issues

Say “run my triage inbox habit”. New issues and unlabelled bugs in one table.

Your agent

Prismhabits “triage inbox” · table
1. linear: new issues assigned to me
2. github: open bug reports with no label

Your agent4 new issues, 2 unlabelled bug reports. Table below, oldest first.

$ prism habit add "triage inbox" --step "linear: new issues assigned to me" --step "github: open bug reports with no label" --output tableAdded habit “triage inbox” (2 steps). Ask your agent: “run my triage inbox habit”.

Habit

Check before you push

Say “run my pre-push habit”. Typecheck, tests and a risk check with prism review, as a checklist.

Your agent

Yourun my pre-push habit

Prismhabits “pre-push” · checklist
1. shell: npm run typecheck
2. shell: npm test
3. shell: prism review --base origin/main --fail-on high
note: unknown source label: use whichever tool fits

Your agent✓ typecheck ✓ tests ✓ review: risk below high. Ready to push.

~/northwind

$ prism habit add "pre-push" --description "Checks before I push" --step "shell: npm run typecheck" --step "shell: npm test" --step "shell: prism review --base origin/main --fail-on high" --output checklistAdded habit “pre-push” (3 steps). Ask your agent: “run my pre-push habit”.

A habit is a skill

prism habit saves each habit as a SKILL.md in ~/.prism/skills. Prism doesn’t change your agent’s own skills in .claude/skills or .cursor/skills. prism doctor skills warns when a skill names a Prism tool that isn’t turned on.

Try it in your repo.

Install Prism, then connect every agent on this machine. Open the agent again.

$npm install -g @prismapp/cli && prism install all
