Subscriber Routing
Sometimes you want to work with a specific subscriber without going through your unreads. Maybe you want to follow up with a VIP, or someone on your team says "check on Alice." Subscriber routing lets you jump straight to any subscriber's context.
Sticky Context with /sub
The /sub command switches your entire focus to one subscriber.
/sub aliceYour prompt changes to show who you're focused on:
@alice>Now everything you type goes to Alice's AI session, with her full conversation history, profile, and preferences loaded. You can have a multi-turn conversation about Alice without repeating her name:
@alice> read her latest messages
@alice> send her something playful about the weekend
@alice> how much has she spent this month?Finding Subscribers
If you're not sure of the exact name, type /sub by itself:
/subThis shows your current context and lists known subscribers you can switch to.
You can also use tab completion. Type /sub followed by the first few letters and press Tab:
/sub ali<Tab>Whisper autocompletes to /sub alice. If there are multiple matches (like Alice and Alicia), it shows your options so you can pick.
Going Back
When you're done with a subscriber, return to the general prompt:
/sub clearYour prompt goes back to the default > and you're no longer focused on any specific person.
One-Off Routing with @mention
Sometimes you don't want to switch your whole context. You just need to fire off one quick instruction about someone. Use @mention for that:
@bob check his latest message and respondThis routes just that one instruction to Bob's AI session. Your sticky context stays wherever it was. If you were focused on Alice, you're still focused on Alice after the @bob instruction completes.
@mention works with tab completion too. Type @ and the first few letters, then press Tab.
When to Use Which
| Situation | Use this |
|---|---|
| Extended conversation about one subscriber | /sub alice (sticky context) |
| Quick check or single action for someone | @bob do something (one-off) |
| Working through unreads in order | /unreads or /review |
| Don't know who to focus on | /sub to see options |
Tips
- Use
/subfor VIP subscribers who need personal attention across multiple turns. - Use
@mentionfor quick tasks like "check his last message" or "send her a thank you." - Remember to
/sub clearwhen you're done so you don't accidentally send instructions to the wrong person. - Tab completion works for both
/suband@. Use it. It's faster and avoids typos.
