Variables

A variable is a named piece of text you can drop into any profile’s rules or workflow step as {{name}}. Change the variable and every profile and step that uses it changes too.

Variables live in the Library, next to profiles and workflows. New variable creates one; Or start with offers three starters: tone, point of view and house style.

An example

What you write in a profile’s rules:

Write in {{tone}}. Keep each scene under {{scene_length}}, and follow {{house_style}}.

What the AI reads every time it runs:

Write in a dry, wry voice with short sentences. Keep each scene under 400 words, and follow American spelling, no em dashes.

Using them

• In a profile’s Behavior and rules or Search instructions, or a workflow step’s instructions, type {{ and pick the variable from the list.
• Preview shows the text with every variable filled in. A variable that does not exist is marked, so a typo never reaches the model silently.
• Copy a variable’s tag from the Library to paste it anywhere.

Good uses

• One voice across profiles. A tone shared by the narrator and the editor.
• House rules. Spelling, punctuation and formatting in one place.
• A project switch. Change point_of_view from first to third person and every profile follows.

Deleting a variable leaves its tag as plain text in the rules that mention it.
