There isn't one.  If you want a universal prompt, the normal way to do
it is by putting it into the skeleton files so they'll be set in the
user's account at creation time by adduser (or by doing something
equivalent for other methods of adding users).  Users are, of course,
able to override this if they want, but normally that's the intended
behaviour anyway.

There are other options, like using login.conf(5) to set the variables
that define the prompt or compiling the shell in question to default
to your preferred settings.
