@@ -85,6 +86,7 @@ A plugin may split its Lua code into several files and load them with `require`.
 - Form assistants additionally require `SystemPrompt`, `SubmitText`, `AllowProfiles`, and a nested `UI` definition.
 - Direct chat launchers instead require a `LaunchBehavior`: either `"OPEN_WORKSPACE_CHAT_BY_NAME"` together with a `WorkspaceName`, or `"OPEN_TEMPORARY_CHAT"` for a chat that belongs to no workspace. AI Studio stops reading the form-only fields as soon as a launch behavior is active, so older launchers that still carry them keep working.
 - `ToolIds` is optional for both kinds and names the tools the assistant runs with, such as `{"web_search"}`. When present, it must list at least one unique, non-empty tool ID; omit the field instead of writing an empty list. For a form assistant, naming tools takes the choice away from users: the tool selection disappears, and the assistant always runs with exactly these tools. For a launcher, the tools are merely preselected and users may change them once the chat is open. Naming a tool is a wish, not a permission: a tool switched off in the settings stays off, one whose settings are incomplete cannot run, and every tool still has to meet the confidence requirements of the provider in use. A tool ID unknown to the installation is skipped. Tools which only make sense together form a tool collection, such as `mailboxes` for searching, reading, and counting mails; name such tools by the ID of their collection. The ID of one of its tools selects the whole collection as well.
+- `ChatSystemPrompt` is optional for form assistants and decides which system prompt a chat gets that continues the result of your assistant: `"AI_STUDIO_DEFAULT"`, `"ASSISTANT"`, or `"CUSTOM"` together with `CustomChatSystemPrompt`. See [Continuing in a Chat](#continuing-in-a-chat).
 - `DEPLOYED_USING_CONFIG_SERVER` identifies who manages the assistant plugin. Set it to `false` for locally managed plugins. A missing field is also treated as local for compatibility with existing plugins. Enterprise-distributed plugins must set it to `true` and cannot be revised with AI in AI Studio.
 - `AI_STUDIO_ASSISTANT_BUILDER = {Generated = true, SchemaVersion = 1}` is reserved for plugins generated by the AI Studio Assistant Builder. It enables Builder-specific actions such as safe deletion and must not be added to manually authored or enterprise-distributed assistants. Newly generated Builder assistants always set `DEPLOYED_USING_CONFIG_SERVER = false` explicitly.
 - `UI.Type` is always `"FORM"` and `UI.Children` is a list of component tables.

+## Continuing in a Chat
+Users can continue the result of a form assistant in a chat: "Send to ..." → "New Chat" opens a chat with the conversation of the assistant. Which system prompt that chat gets is your decision, made in the optional field `ChatSystemPrompt`:
+
+| Value | The chat gets |
+|---|---|
+| `"AI_STUDIO_DEFAULT"` | The default prompt of AI Studio. A chat gets this one as well when the field is missing. |
+| `"ASSISTANT"` | Your `SystemPrompt`, so the chat keeps the role and the rules of your assistant. |
+| `"CUSTOM"` | The prompt in `CustomChatSystemPrompt`, which you write for the chat. |
+
+Choose `"ASSISTANT"` when your system prompt suits follow-up questions as well. When it demands a fixed format or JSON, or forbids questions, write a prompt for the chat instead: keep the role and the context of your assistant, and tell the model to answer the follow-up questions of the user about the result.
+
+```lua
+ASSISTANT = {
+    -- ...
+    ["SystemPrompt"] = "You translate the text into plain language. Answer with the translation only.",
+    ["ChatSystemPrompt"] = "CUSTOM",
+    ["CustomChatSystemPrompt"] = "You are an expert in plain language. The user had a text translated into plain language and asks follow-up questions about the translation. Explain your choices and revise the translation when asked.",
+    -- ...
+}
+```
+
+- `CustomChatSystemPrompt` belongs to `"CUSTOM"` only, and `"CUSTOM"` needs it. Otherwise, as with an unknown value, AI Studio does not load the plugin.
+- AI Studio wraps the prompt for the chat with the same security preamble and postamble as your `SystemPrompt`, and the security audit checks it as well.
+- In the chat, the view of the complete system prompt names your assistant as the source of the prompt.
+- Direct chat launchers do not read these fields: their chat gets the prompt of its chat template, or the default prompt of AI Studio.
+- Requires AI Studio v26.11.1 or newer. Older versions ignore both fields, and their chats get the default prompt of AI Studio.

 ## Direct Launch into a Chat
 Assistant plugins can optionally skip the normal assistant page and open a chat directly from the tile. The chat either lives in a workspace or in none at all; everything else about the two behaviors is the same.
