+### System-prompt instructions
+
+Use `systemPrompt` for a short inline instruction, or `systemPromptPath` to keep longer instructions in a file inside the plugin root. If both fields are present, the inline text appears first, followed by the file content. The file content is read when the plugin is installed or reloaded, so edits take effect only after `/plugins reload`. For example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "code-review",
+  "systemPromptPath": "./SYSTEM.md"
+}
+```
+
+System-prompt contributions take effect on both agent engines: the interactive TUI and `kimi -p` (the v1 engine), `kimi web`, and any CLI surface with `KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_FLAG=1` (the v2 engine).
+
+Each field — the inline `systemPrompt` and the `systemPromptPath` file — is limited to 32 KB (UTF-8 bytes): oversized content is ignored and reported in the plugin diagnostics. Across all enabled plugins, one prompt build injects at most 64 KB of instructions; contributions beyond the budget are skipped with a warning, including a single plugin whose inline text and file together exceed that budget.
+
+New sessions and newly created agents read the contributions from the plugins currently enabled. An in-flight request keeps its existing system prompt. `/plugins reload` refreshes the plugin skill list and requests prompt rebuilds for live agents; use it when you need the change to converge deliberately before the next turn. On the v2 engine, installing, enabling, disabling, or removing a plugin updates the catalog immediately and a later prompt rebuild — for example after compaction or a tool-policy change — may pick up the new sections. The legacy engine keeps each live session's plugin snapshot until `/plugins reload` or a new session. A resumed session starts from its persisted prompt, and later rebuilds follow the engine-specific behavior above. Toggling a plugin's MCP server does not change system-prompt sections.
+
+The built-in agent prompt includes instructions from enabled plugins automatically. A custom `SYSTEM.md` or agent file owns its template, so include `${plugin_sections}` where plugin-contributed instructions should appear. If the custom template includes `${base_prompt}` and that effective default already contains the plugin block, do not add `${plugin_sections}` again. See [Custom agents and SYSTEM.md](./agents.md#overriding-the-main-agent-s-system-prompt-with-system-md) for the complete variable table.

+### 系统提示词指令
+
+短指令可以直接写在 `systemPrompt`，较长内容则用 `systemPromptPath` 指向 plugin 根目录内的文件。两个字段同时存在时，内联文本在前，文件内容在后。文件内容在安装或重载 plugin 时读取，因此修改文件后需要 `/plugins reload` 才会生效。例如：
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "code-review",
+  "systemPromptPath": "./SYSTEM.md"
+}
+```
+
+系统提示词贡献在两个 Agent 引擎上都生效：交互式 TUI 与 `kimi -p`（v1 引擎）、`kimi web`，以及 `KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_FLAG=1` 时的所有 CLI 界面（v2 引擎）。
+
+`systemPrompt` 字段与 `systemPromptPath` 文件各限制为 32 KB（UTF-8 字节）：超限内容会被忽略，并显示在 plugin 的 diagnostics 中。一次提示词构建最多注入所有已启用 plugin 合计 64 KB 的指令；超出预算的贡献会被跳过并给出警告——单个 plugin 的内联文本与文件合计超过该预算时同样整体跳过。
+
+新会话和新建 Agent 会读取当前已启用 plugin 的指令。正在进行的请求会继续使用已有的系统提示词。`/plugins reload` 会刷新 plugin Skill 列表，并请求重建活跃 Agent 的提示词；如果需要让变更在下一轮前明确收敛，请使用这个命令。在 v2 引擎中，安装、启用、禁用或移除 plugin 会立即更新 catalog，后续的提示词重建（例如压缩上下文或修改工具策略后）可能会读取新的指令。legacy 引擎会让每个活跃 session 保留自己的 plugin 快照，直到 `/plugins reload` 或创建新 session。从磁盘恢复的 session 会先使用持久化的提示词，后续重建再遵循对应引擎的行为。切换 plugin 的 MCP server 不会改变系统提示词指令。
+
+内置 Agent 提示词会自动包含已启用 plugin 的指令。自定义 `SYSTEM.md` 或 Agent 文件完全拥有自己的模板，因此应在希望出现 plugin 指令的位置加入 `${plugin_sections}`。如果自定义模板包含 `${base_prompt}`，且该有效默认提示词已经包含 plugin 块，就不要再重复加入 `${plugin_sections}`。完整变量表见 [自定义 Agent 与 SYSTEM.md](./agents.md#用-system-md-覆盖主-agent-的系统提示词)。
