# Output Targets

Promptfire supports multiple output targets so you can tailor context for different LLMs.

## Built-in Targets

| Target | Tokens | Format | Strategy |
|--------|--------|--------|----------|
| **Promptfire** | 200,000 | XML | Summarize headers |
| **GPT-4o** | 128,000 | Markdown | Summarize headers |
| **Compact** | 8,000 | Plain | Drop sections |

## Configuration

Each target can be configured with:

- **Name** - Display name (e.g., "Claude", "GPT-4")
- **Max tokens** - Token limit for truncation
- **Format** - `markdown`, `xml`, or `plain`
- **Strategy** - `summarize-headers`, `drop-sections`, `truncate`
- **Wrapper** - Prefix/suffix text around content (e.g., `<context>...</context>`)
- **Output path** - Custom folder for this target's file output (overrides the global output folder)

## Primary vs Secondary Targets

- **Primary target** output goes to your clipboard.
- **Secondary targets** are saved as files in the configured output folder (or the target's custom output path).

This lets you generate context for multiple LLMs in a single action.

## Output Folder

Configure where secondary target files are saved in **Settings > Promptfire > Output Targets**. Individual targets can override this with their own **Output path** setting.

## Export Profiles

Export profiles bundle targets into named groups for one-click multi-format export.

### How It Works

1. Create a profile in **Settings > Output > Export Profiles** (e.g., "Full LLM Export")
2. Select which targets the profile includes (e.g., Claude XML + GPT Markdown + Gemini Compact)
3. Choose which target's output goes to clipboard (primary)
4. Set the profile as **active** in the "Active export profile" dropdown
5. Run the command:

```
Ctrl+P > "Promptfire: Export context (multi-target)"
```

The context assembles normally, each target processes it with its own format and truncation, the primary target goes to clipboard, and the rest are saved as files.

### Built-in Profile

| Profile | Targets | Primary |
|---------|---------|---------|
| **Full LLM Export** | Promptfire (XML), GPT-4o (MD), Compact (Plain) | Promptfire |

Add it via **Settings > Output > Export Profiles > "Add Built-in Profiles"**.

### Profile Dropdown in Generator

When you have profiles configured, the generator modal shows a **Profile** dropdown above the target checkboxes. Selecting a profile pre-selects its targets for quick access.

### Edge Cases

- If the active profile references a target that was deleted, that target is skipped with a notice
- If a profile's primary target was deleted, the first available target in the profile becomes primary
- Deleting a target automatically cleans it up from all profiles
