Appearance
Instructions Manager
Governed instructions for applications and coding agents — prompts you fetch at runtime, and skills you sync into agent folders.
Instructions Manager is one product with two tracks on the same platform (orgs, projects, API keys, console):
Prompts
Author, review, version, and promote prompts. Fetch the active version at runtime with the elsai-prompts SDK.
→Skills
Author and approve Agent Skills (SKILL.md) in the console, then sync them with the pm-skills CLI.
→Which track do I need?
| Track | You need it when… | Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| Prompts | App or agent should load reviewed prompt text / chat / structured schemas without redeploying code | elsai-prompts SDK |
| Skills | Coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Agentkit) should use approved SKILL.md packages | pm-skills CLI → local folders |
Many teams use both: prompts for LLM calls, skills for agent procedures and conventions.
Shared platform
- Same SaaS or on-prem console and identity model
- Same project / organization scoping
- Skills are authored alongside prompts in the console
See Prompt Manager — SaaS / On-Prem and Skills Manager — SaaS / On-Prem for deployment details.
