# Prompt Markers

> Use when a prompt starts with a marker prefix — `h:`/`hint:` (a lead to validate before acting), `f:`/`feedback:` (a correction to apply immediately), `e:`/`extension:` (a request to widen scope), `q:`/`queue:` (a queued task for after current work), `i:`/`important:` (important, high priority) or `i!:`/`important!:` (immediate emergency interrupt) — every marker also accepts a `!` importance token between alias and colon, making it interrupt-grade — or when the user asks to add, change, or inspect those markers. The UserPromptSubmit hook detects them and injects the matching behaviour.
