+## Starting with 0.9.1
+
+Prompt prefixes and suffixes support FoundationaLLM variables for dynamic replacement at runtime. The variable format is `{{foundationallm:variable_name[:format]}}` where
+- `variable_name` is the name of the well-known variable.
+- `format` is the optional formatting applied to the value of the variable.
+
+The following variables are supported:
+
+| Name | Value | Example
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `current_datetime_utc` | The current UTC date and time. | `The current date is {{foundationallm:current_datetime_utc:dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy}}. This looks great.` -> `The current date is Sunday, December 15, 2024. This looks great.`
+
 ## Starting with 0.9.0
