Layers

A layer is a versioned block of prompt content inside a skill version. Layers are ordered, typed, and combined deterministically during preview and runtime.

What a layer includes

  • type - base, task, policy, format, or override.
  • mode - append or replace.
  • content - the actual prompt text.

How layers are used

  • The runtime renders layers into a single prompt.
  • Order and mode determine how content is combined.
  • Preview exposes the rendered prompt and composition trace before you run.
