Universal AI Command Reference

A joint research done by Bithost and Skillity to produce some useful commands, which can be used by any individuals to get best output from AI platforms.

A practical shorthand system for telling an AI what kind of response, structure, analysis, workflow, or visual explanation you want.

The basic syntax is:

/<command> <topic>

Examples:

/explain Blockchain
/visualexplain Computer
/mindmap Career Change
/swot Opening a Coffee Shop
/processmap How AI Works
/comparisonmap RAM vs ROM

These commands are prompt shortcuts, not universal hidden software commands. In systems that do not have native slash-command support, the AI interprets the command based on the command name and the instruction system provided to it.

The purpose is simple:

Instead of repeatedly explaining how you want an answer structured, use a short command that communicates the desired output format.

1. How the Command System Works

Every command has two parts:

/<command> <topic>

The command defines:

WHAT TYPE OF OUTPUT

The topic defines:

WHAT THE OUTPUT IS ABOUT

For example:

/visualexplain Computer

means:

Explain Computer as a visual educational infographic.

/comparisonmap RAM vs ROM

means:

Compare RAM and ROM using a structured visual comparison.

/processmap How AI Works

means:

Explain how AI works as a process diagram.

/swot Opening a Coffee Shop

means:

Create a SWOT analysis for opening a coffee shop.

2. How to Set It Up

You can use these commands directly in an AI chat.

For more consistent behavior, provide the AI with a master instruction.

Master Instruction

Copy this into the system/custom-instruction area of your preferred AI:

When a user starts a message with a forward slash followed by a word, treat that word as a command defining the requested output style or structure.

Everything after the command is the topic, subject, text, problem, question, or input that the command should operate on.

Use the command to determine the structure of the response.

Examples:

/explain Blockchain
/eli5 Interest Rates
/mindmap Career Change
/swot Opening a Coffee Shop
/processmap How AI Works
/comparisonmap RAM vs ROM
/visualexplain Computer
/architecture Web Application

Interpret unfamiliar commands reasonably from their names.

Do not treat the slash as a mathematical operator.

For text-based commands, produce a clear structured answer using headings, tables, lists, examples, or other appropriate formatting.

For visual commands, create the requested visual when image generation is available. If image generation is not available, create the clearest possible text-based diagram or visual representation.

Follow the command's intended structure while preserving factual accuracy.

If the user's request contains explicit formatting requirements, follow those requirements in addition to the command.

Do not invent information merely to fill a visual structure.

When the requested subject is ambiguous, ask for clarification only when necessary.

3. Command Syntax

The standard form is:

/<command> <topic>

You can also provide additional instructions after the topic:

/visualexplain Computer in simple English

/timeline History of Computers in Hindi

/comparisonmap RAM vs ROM for Class 8

/processmap How AI Works, 16:9 infographic

26. Platform Usage

The command concept is platform-independent.

The same syntax can be used on different AI platforms, but the level of native support may differ.

Claude

Claude supports native saved slash-command / prompt functionality.

Use its saved prompt or command feature when available.

Example:

/studyguide

can be saved with the full study-guide instruction and reused.

ChatGPT

Use:

• Custom Instructions
• Custom GPT
• Saved prompts where available

Put the master instruction from this README into the assistant's instruction layer.

Then use:

/visualexplain Computer

or:

/swot New SaaS Product

Gemini

Use:

• Gems
• Saved instructions/preferences

Create a Gem dedicated to these commands and provide the master instruction.

Then use:

/conceptmap Artificial Intelligence

or:

/processmap How AI Works

27. Visual Commands and Image Generation

When an image-generation model is available, visual commands should create a visual rather than merely describing one.

For example:

/visualexplain Computer

should ideally produce an educational infographic.

/timeline History of Computers

should ideally produce a chronological visual timeline.

/processmap How AI Works

should produce a visual process map.

/comparisonmap RAM vs ROM

should produce a visual comparison.

/architecture Web Application

should produce a system architecture diagram.

/erdiagram E-commerce Database

should produce an entity relationship diagram.

28. Optional Visual Instructions

Commands can be combined with additional visual requirements.

Example:

/visualexplain Computer, 16:9, English

/timeline History of India, Hindi, 16:9

/processmap How AI Works, English, clean educational style

/comparisonmap RAM vs ROM, 16:9, suitable for YouTube

/architecture Odoo Architecture, dark technical style

Additional instructions may specify:

• Language
• Aspect ratio
• Audience
• Visual style
• Difficulty level
• Color preference
• Number of sections
• Level of detail
• Platform destination

29. Combining Commands

Commands should normally represent one primary output structure.

However, users can combine compatible instructions.

Examples:

/timeline + /visualexplain

Meaning:

Create a visual explanation organized chronologically.

/comparisonmap + /infographic

Meaning:

Create an infographic-style comparison.

/processmap + /visualexplain

Meaning:

Explain a process as an educational visual.

/deepdive + /conceptmap

Meaning:

Give a detailed explanation and organize the concepts visually.

/studyguide + /mindmap

Meaning:

Create a study guide around a central mind map.

When multiple commands are provided, the first command can define the primary output type while the others act as modifiers.

30. Commands That Work With Pasted Text

Some commands operate on the input rather than a topic.

Examples:

/rewrite [text]

/proofread [text]

/shorten [text]

/tone formal: [text]

/translate to Hindi: [text]

/categorize [list]

/explaincode [code]

/codereview [code]

38. Creating Your Own Command

The system is intentionally extensible.

A good custom command should answer:

What specific output shape do I want repeatedly?

For example:

/research

could mean:

Perform structured research with sources, key findings, competing viewpoints, and conclusions.

/brief

could mean:

Create a concise decision brief.

/spec

could mean:

Create a technical specification.

/prd

could mean:

Create a product requirements document.

/postmortem

could mean:

Analyze an incident with impact, timeline, root cause, contributing factors, and corrective actions.

/riskmap

could mean:

Visualize risks by likelihood and impact.

39. Custom Command Template

Use this format when defining a new command:

/command

Purpose:
What this command produces.

Input:
What the user should provide.

Output:
What structure the AI should return.

Example:
/command Example Topic

Example:

/riskmap

Purpose:
Map risks by likelihood and impact.

Input:
Project, system, business or decision.

Output:
Risk categories, probability, impact, priority and mitigations.

Example:
/riskmap SaaS Launch

40. Command Design Rules

Good commands should be:

Short

Prefer:

/roadmap

over:

/create-a-learning-and-implementation-roadmap

Memorable

The command should be obvious from its name.

Specific

Each command should have one primary purpose.

Reusable

The same command should work across many topics.

Predictable

The command should consistently produce the same type of structure.

Composable

Commands can optionally act as modifiers when appropriate.

41. Avoid Command Overlap

Keep commands distinct.

For example:

/explain

normal written explanation.

/visualexplain

visual explanation.

/conceptmap

relationship map.

/mindmap

idea map.

/processmap

process.

/flowchart

logic.

/architecture

technical structure.

/comparisonmap

visual comparison.

/timeline

chronology.

This distinction makes the command system easier to remember.

46. The Core Idea

The command is not the answer.

The command tells the AI how to shape the answer.

For example:

Computer

may produce a normal explanation.

/visualexplain Computer

asks for an educational visual.

/conceptmap Computer

asks for relationships.

/processmap How a Computer Works

asks for a process.

/anatomy Computer

asks for components.

/comparisonmap Computer vs Smartphone

asks for a comparison.

The subject can remain similar while the output structure changes completely.

47. Final Usage Pattern

The simplest way to remember the system is:

WHAT DO I WANT?
        +
WHAT IS THE TOPIC?

Examples:

/explain AI

/visualexplain AI

/conceptmap AI

/processmap How AI Works

/timeline History of AI

/comparisonmap AI vs ML

/architecture AI Application

/roadmap Learn AI

/quiz AI Fundamentals

One topic can therefore produce many useful formats simply by changing the command.

48. Final Principle

A good AI command should be:

Short
Memorable
Predictable
Reusable
Specific
Easy to discover
Easy to extend

The most important idea is not memorizing hundreds of commands.

It is understanding the pattern:

/<short command> <topic>

Once you know the pattern, you can create your own commands for tasks you perform repeatedly.

Examples:

/research
/brief
/spec
/prd
/postmortem
/riskmap
/audit
/strategy

The command system is therefore a reusable interface for communicating what kind of work you want the AI to perform, without repeatedly writing the same structural instructions.
