Prompts and resources ​

Besides abilities, the VX connection offers two things you use directly in your AI client.

Prompts ​

Prompts are ready-made procedures you start yourself, usually as a slash command (in Cursor and Claude Code) or from MCP: Browse Resources and Prompts in VS Code. They guide the assistant through a task that's easy to get wrong ad hoc.

PromptWhat it does
vx-explore-siteReads the site's model and summarizes its structure
vx-check-readinessReports which field types are registered on the site, environment warnings and configuration conflicts
vx-plan-changeTurns a goal into an ordered plan, checks it without saving, and stops for your approval
vx-edit-fieldsEdits a fieldset's fields without disturbing the ones you didn't mention
vx-audit-configChecks for differences between your config files and the database, and recommends what to do
vx-audit-contentLooks for missing or inconsistent content, without changing anything
vx-migrate-valuesChanges a value across many entries: samples first, tests one, then works in reviewable batches
vx-review-changesWalks through the changes assistants have made and how to reverse each

Resources ​

Resources are documents the client can attach to a conversation, often by typing @, so the assistant has the facts without having to look them up.

ResourceContains
vx://docs/…Each article of this documentation, matching your installed version
vx://site/blueprintYour whole data model
vx://model/post-type/<key>, vx://model/taxonomy/<key>, vx://model/userThe fields of one post type, taxonomy, or of users: each key, its value format, and whether it can be written or filtered
vx://guideThe operating manual VX gives every assistant when it connects

Attaching the field reference for a post type before asking for content changes ("fill in the tagline on every Book") helps the assistant use the right keys from the start.

You don't need to explain how to use VX to your assistant. When it connects, VX sends an operating manual (vx://guide) covering how to look before changing, how to check changes before saving, and how to keep track of undo information.

Technical details for LLMs
  • Prompts and resources follow the ability exposure: each is published only while the ability that serves its data is exposed (e.g. vx://docs/… needs vx-framework/get-doc; vx-review-changes needs vx-framework/list-changes; vx://model/… needs the content reads). vx://guide is always published.
  • Indexes: vx://docs (articles) and vx://model (field references with counts).
  • The manual's critical rules are also returned as guidance by vx-framework/get-site-blueprint, and every write ability's description ends with the dry-run / no-parallel-writes / keep-the-undo constraint, for clients that skip the handshake instructions.
