Selected allows you to customize commands in two ways:
  1. Customize built-in commands - Modify the prompts of any of the customizable built-in commands with your own version to fulfill your specific needs. You can reset them to default at any time.
  2. Create custom commands - Build entirely new commands for your daily tasks that aren’t covered by the built-in commands.

​
Command Structure

Each command consists of two key components:
  • System prompt - Defines the overall behavior and role of the command
  • User prompt - Specifies what to do with the input (selected text, attachments, custom prompt)
You can use variables in your prompts to reference:
  • Selected text ({{selectedText}})
  • Attachment text ({{attachmentText}})
  • Custom input from the user ({{inputtedText}})
All available variables can be found in the Variables section of the Commands tab. You can add your own ones if needed.

​
