Prompt Mentions

Type @ inside the prompt box to insert numbered references and personal assets as structured mention tokens.

Prompt mentions turn references and assets into reusable structured tokens. Instead of manually describing every source, you can pick the exact reference or asset and insert it directly into the prompt.

In the preview above, place the cursor in the prompt box and type @ to open the real mention picker.

What the Mention Picker Can Insert

The picker can pull structured resources directly into the prompt:

  • Numbered references such as image or text references already attached to the prompt
  • Personal assets stored in your own library

This keeps prompt writing tied to actual project material instead of loose manual descriptions.

Why Structured Tokens Matter

Mention tokens keep prompts more reliable because they refer to specific resources instead of vague descriptions. This helps when:

  • Reusing the same character board across several shots
  • Pulling a saved text reference into multiple generations
  • Combining a styleboard from assets with attached references in the same prompt

The prompt becomes easier to audit and much less fragile during iteration.

After typing @, the picker supports keyword search so you can narrow a long list of assets or references before choosing one. On bigger projects, this matters much more than manually scrolling.

Best Practice

Treat mentions as source-of-truth links:

  • Keep reference titles clear so the picker stays readable
  • Reuse the same mention token across related prompts when possible
  • Pair prompt mentions with node list navigation for faster large-canvas workflows

If your prompt flow depends on consistent references, prompt mentions are one of the most important quality-of-life tools to adopt early.
