Rawi (راوي) Documentation | Act Templates

Act Templates

Section titled “Act Templates”

Act Templates are reusable prompt patterns that help you instruct the AI to behave in a specific way (e.g., code reviewer, security auditor, technical writer). You can list, show, and apply act templates to your queries.

Listing Available Act Templates

Section titled “Listing Available Act Templates”
Terminal window
$ rawi ask --list-acts
🎭 Available Act Templates:


📁 Code Review:
  • code-review - Review code for bugs and improvements


📁 Documentation:
  • doc-writer - Generate documentation from code


Usage: rawi ask --act <template-id> "your question"
Show template: rawi ask --act <template-id> --show

Profile Management

Section titled “Profile Management”

Profiles let you save and switch between different provider configurations (e.g., OpenAI for work, Ollama for local, Anthropic for research).

Creating and Using Profiles

Section titled “Creating and Using Profiles”
Terminal window
# Create a new profile for OpenAI
$ rawi configure --profile work --provider openai --model gpt-4o --api-key sk-...


# Use a profile when asking a question
$ rawi ask "Summarize this code" --profile work

Listing and Managing Profiles

Section titled “Listing and Managing Profiles”
Terminal window
# List all profiles
$ rawi configure --list


# Show details for a profile
$ rawi configure --show --profile work


# Delete a profile
$ rawi configure --delete personal

Default Profile

Section titled “Default Profile”

If you do not specify a profile, Rawi uses the default profile.

Terminal window
$ rawi ask "What is TypeScript?"
# Uses the 'default' profile

Example Workflow

Section titled “Example Workflow”
Terminal window
# List act templates
$ rawi ask --list-acts


# Show a template
$ rawi ask --act doc-writer --show


# Use a template with a specific profile
$ rawi ask --act code-review "Review this code" --profile work

For more details, see the Providers Guide, Configuration Guide, and CLI Commands Reference.

Tip: Use profiles to separate work and personal API keys, and act templates to standardize your prompts for repeatable results.
