# Primers

_LOFTai › Ai Generation_

## Overview

Primers are reusable prompt templates. They store prompts you use often so you can apply them when generating without retyping.

## Primers List

The primers table shows Name, Scope, Description, Tags, and Usage Count (how many generations have used the primer).

## Primer Detail

Click a primer to see its full information, the complete prompt text, and a grid of renders generated with it.

Note: A primer is applied on demand; a **playbook** is always-on guidance the Assistant reads every turn. Use primers for repeatable prompts, playbooks for standing rules.
