+ Browse and retrieve curated Desktop Commander prompts for various tasks and workflows.
+
+ IMPORTANT: When displaying prompt lists to users, do NOT show the internal prompt IDs (like 'onb_001').
+ These IDs are for your reference only. Show users only the prompt titles and descriptions.
+ The IDs will be provided in the response metadata for your use.
+
+ DESKTOP COMMANDER INTRODUCTION: If a user asks "what is Desktop Commander?" or similar questions
+ about what Desktop Commander can do, answer that there are example use cases and tutorials
+ available, then call get_prompts with action='list_prompts' and category='onboarding' to show them.
+
+ ACTIONS:
+ - list_categories: Show all available prompt categories
+ - list_prompts: List prompts (optionally filtered by category)
+ - get_prompt: Retrieve and execute a specific prompt by ID
+
+ WORKFLOW:
+ 1. Use list_categories to see available categories
+ 2. Use list_prompts to browse prompts in a category
+ 3. Use get_prompt with promptId to retrieve and start using a prompt
+
+ EXAMPLES:
+ - get_prompts(action='list_categories') - See all categories
+ - get_prompts(action='list_prompts', category='onboarding') - See onboarding prompts
+ - get_prompts(action='get_prompt', promptId='onb_001') - Get a specific prompt
+
+ The get_prompt action will automatically inject the prompt content and begin execution.
+ Perfect for discovering proven workflows and getting started with Desktop Commander.
