Reusable AI Agent Workflows

3ngram includes prompt templates that orchestrate multiple tool calls automatically. Instead of running each tool manually, invoke a prompt and the AI handles the rest. The three most common are documented below. For the full list of all built-in prompts, see Features.

​

Briefing

Start-of-session overview. Gathers commitments, blockers, overdue items, stale work, and recent decisions.

“3ngram: Run my briefing”

“3ngram: Briefing for the engram project”

What it does:

1. Fetches all open commitments (including deferred)
2. Checks for blockers
3. Finds overdue items past their deadline
4. Surfaces commitments with no activity in 7+ days
5. Recalls recent decisions for context

Output is a structured summary with sections for Overdue, Blockers, Open Commitments, Stale items, and Recent Decisions, ending with a suggested focus area.

​

Debrief

End-of-session extraction. Reviews the conversation and persists decisions, commitments, blockers, and learnings.

“3ngram: Run my debrief”

“3ngram: Debrief this session before I close”

What it does:

1. Scans the conversation for decisions, commitments, blockers, and learnings
2. Persists each as a structured memory with the right type and project tag
3. Resolves any commitments completed during the session
4. Summarizes what was captured

​

Project Context

Deep dive into a single project. Retrieves everything scoped to one project in one pass.

“3ngram: Get me the full context for the engram project”

What it does:

1. Fetches recent project-specific memories
2. Lists all commitments (including deferred)
3. Checks for blockers and overdue items
4. Surfaces architectural and strategic decisions
