How it works
The Enhanced Prompting skill dynamically injects real-time context — such as the current date, time, user metadata, or system state — into the agent's system prompt before every message. This keeps the agent contextually aware without hardcoded updates.
Key features
Temporal Awareness
Automatically injects the current date, time, and timezone.
Dynamic Variables
Inject user-specific data (e.g., subscription tier) into the instructions.
Context Enrichment
Gives the LLM the background needed to answer relative questions ('Is my order arriving today?').
How to configure it
- 01
Enable the Enhanced Prompting skill in Launch Pad.
- 02
Map the dynamic variables you want to inject (typically passed via SET_USER or the API).
- 03
Reference those variables in your Agent Instructions (e.g., 'The current date is {{current_date}}. The user's plan is {{user_plan}}.').
Frequently asked questions
Do I need this skill just to know the date?
Yes — LLMs do not inherently know the current date or time. Enhanced Prompting is required to inject temporal context into the prompt.
Does this consume more tokens?
Slightly — injecting dynamic context increases the size of the system prompt, which consumes a small amount of additional tokens per request.
