    |Section|Description|
    |-------|-----------|
    |Base input table fields|Each skill relies on a base input table and input fields with descriptions to provide context for the LLM to generate a response.|
    |Rule conditions|Rule conditions determine when the input template is used. By default, record state determines which input template the LLM uses.|
    |Additional input data sources|You can add input data sources such as related tables, activity streams, and relationships to provide more context to the LLM. You can also add rule conditions to these additional data sources.|

8.  Select **Clone prompt** to edit the prompt.

    The list shows all prompts that use the same supporting skill for each provider.

9.  Add **Prompt usage conditions**.

    Prompt usage conditions determine when a prompt runs.
