Muse supports the following slash commands across all personas.
/muse topic is the main command. Muse will check its knowledgebase for a match and display what it knows about the topic.
The /random command will display a random topic from the channel's persona knowledgebase. No campaign entries are included.
Topics in Muse can be public or private. Use the /public topic command to make a channel specific topic public. This command has no effect on persona topics.
Only members with the permission can use this command.
Topics in Muse can be public or private. Use the /private topic command to make a channel specific topic private. Private topics are only visible to channel admins. This command has no effect on persona topics.
Use the /campaign file command to upload custom entries to Muse. The entries will be specific to the channel where the command is issued. The command takes one parameter which is a YAML file containing the entries to add. See Campaign Entries for a entries will display a random persona's topic. Campaign topics are not included.
Use /about to learn of Muse's inspiration and history.
The /diagnostics command displays summary data about the current persona and campaign topics.
The /help command explains how to use Muse.
The /persona command is used to change the persona for the channel. Using the persona command without specifying a persona will display the current persona for the channel. Specifying a persona after the command will change the persona of the channel. For example, using /persona Blank Canvas to set the persona to Blank Canvas. See Personas for the list of the support personas.
Changing the persona does not remove any campaign entries.
See the bottom of the page for the list of the supported personas.
The /reset command will delete all campaign entries from the channel.
Channel administrators can customize the channel's topics by uploading their own campaign files.
It is not possible to edit a persona's entries, but you can overwrite them. Muse first searches campaign topics for a match. If it does not find one, Muse then searches the persona's topics. If you want to change the text of a persona's topic, include a topic with the same name and Muse will find that first and display that data.
If you want to remove a persona's topic, include a topic in your campaign file with a blank text entry. Muse will not display entries with blank text.
Use the /campaign command to upload campaign files.
Campaign files are YAML files. The yaml file is a dictionary. The key for each entry is the title and is used as the key in the look-up. The properties of the entries are:
