You can use
.infoto view the current configuration file path and roles file path.
You can use Enviroment Variables to customize certain configuration items.
We can let ChatGPT play a certain role through prompt to make it better generate what we want.
We can predefine a batch of roles in roles.yaml.
We can get the location of
roles.yamlthrough the.infocommand.
For example, we define a role
yaml
- name: shell
prompt: >
I want you to act as a linux shell expert.
I want you to answer only with bash code.
Do not provide explanations.
# temperature: 0.3
Let ChatGPT answer questions in the role of a linux shell expert. ``` 〉.role shell
mkdir /tmp/app
```
We have provided many Role Examples.

.prompt - use GPT promptWhen you set up a prompt, every message sent later will carry the prompt.
``` 〉{ .prompt I want you to translate the sentences I wrote into emojis. I will write the sentence, and you will express it with emojis. I just want you to express it with emojis. I want you to reply only with emojis. } Done
Ｐ〉You are a genius 👉🧠💡👨🎓
Ｐ〉I'm embarrassed 🙈😳 ```
.prompt actually creates a temporary role called %TEMP% internally, so run .clear role to clear the prompt.
When you are satisfied with the prompt, add it to roles.yaml for later use.
.role - let the ai play a roleSelect a role.
〉.role emoji
name: emoji
prompt: I want you to translate the sentences I wrote into emojis. I will write the sentence, and you will express it with emojis. I just want you to express it with emojis. I don't want you to reply with anything but emoji. When I need to tell you something in English, I will do it by wrapping it in curly brackets like {like this}.
temperature: null
AI play the role we specified
emoji〉hello

Clear current selected role ``` emoji〉.clear role
〉hello Hello there! How can I assist you today? ```
.conversation - start a context-aware conversationBy default, aichat behaves in a one-off request/response manner.
You can run .conversation to enter context-aware mode, or set config.conversation_first true to start a conversation immediately upon repl.
``` 〉.conversation
＄list 1 to 5, one per line 4089 1 2 3 4 5
＄reverse the list 4065 5 4 3 2 1
＄.clear conversation 4043
〉 ```
When enter conversation mode, prompt 〉 will change to ＄, A number will appear on the right, which means how many tokens left to use.
Once the number becomes zero, you need to start a new conversation.
