How to create prompt chains in ChatGPT

When a task takes the same sequence of prompts every time, prompt chains turn that repeat work into a saved workflow you can run again.

Quick answer

Open Prompt Manager, create a new prompt chain, give it a name, folder, tags, and optional instructions, then add each prompt as an ordered step. When you run the chain, Superpower queues the steps and sends them to ChatGPT one after another.

01

Open Prompt Manager

Use Prompt Manager when you want a reusable prompt workflow instead of a one-off message. Prompt chains live with your saved prompts, so you can search, edit, favorite, and organize them later.

02

Name the chain and choose a folder

Give the chain a clear name like Weekly stakeholder report, Customer email follow-up, or Research brief. Save it in the folder that matches the workflow so your prompt library stays organized.

Add tags and instructions

Add up to three tags so the chain is easier to filter and recognize. Use the instruction field for context that should apply to the whole workflow, such as tone, audience, source rules, or output constraints.

Instruction applies to the whole chain: concise, source-aware, executive tone.

04

Create each prompt step

Add the prompts in the order you want ChatGPT to run them. A chain can move from raw input to summary, then decisions, risks, action items, and a final draft without you pasting every step manually.

Run the chain from favorites or slash command

Favorite the chain when you use it often, then run it from the favorite prompt dropdown with one click. You can also type slash in the ChatGPT input to find and run saved prompt chains from the command list.

Prompt chain strategy

Build chains for workflows you actually repeat.

Use short, specific names so prompt chains are easy to recognize in the favorite dropdown and slash command list.
Keep one chain focused on one repeatable workflow instead of turning it into a giant all-purpose automation.
Put setup rules in the instruction field instead of repeating them in every step.
Use tags for workflow type, such as Research, Writing, Support, Coding, or Report.
Test the chain on a small example first, then edit the steps before making it a favorite.
