A comprehensive, professional-grade command reference for controlling GPT behavior in high-stakes, multi-session, and precision workflows.
Designed for both casual and power users, it enables clear session hygiene, context management, output consistency, and advanced mode activation.
Each command is written with consistent syntax and [placeholders] for easy customization.


1. Fresh Start & Privacy

Command Purpose When to Use
Fresh session: ignore all prior chats, open windows, and stored memory. Ensures no context bleed from past conversations or active sessions. Beginning a new project or sensitive task.
Do not store, remember, or reuse anything from this session. Enforces full privacy lock, even if memory is enabled. Handling confidential or regulated material.
Ignore persistent memory for this session. Uses a clean slate without deleting stored memory. Testing a different style, workflow, or tone.

2. Context Restore

Command Purpose When to Use
Context restore: [paste key project instructions or summary] Instantly realigns GPT with a known setup or workflow. Continuing work from another session or device.
Load reference: [file name or text snippet] Sets a baseline reference document for the conversation. Working from a specific set of rules, templates, or data.

3. System Seed & Flow Control

Command Purpose When to Use
SYSTEM SEED INCOMING. Do not speak, summarize, or interpret. Await full upload. Prevents premature responses while you paste setup text. Multi-part prompts, large configs, or chained inputs.
Silent mode: do not respond until I type "GO". Acknowledge with "READY". Allows uninterrupted setup entry. Complex staging before first output.
Step confirm mode: confirm after each instruction before continuing. Ensures micro-control over generation steps. Precision-critical workflows or scripted builds.

4. Output Format Locks

Command Purpose When to Use
Respond only in [format], no extra commentary. Produces clean, copy-paste-ready output. Markdown, JSON, CSV, or code delivery.
All responses must be wrapped in a single Markdown block. Guarantees consistent output formatting. Structured exports or documentation.
Strict formatting mode: follow the provided structure exactly. Enforces a locked output schema. API-ready or machine-readable outputs.

5. Mode Toggles

Command Purpose When to Use
Fast Mode ON Short, efficient responses. Quick reference or triage.
Deep Mode ON Comprehensive exploration. Research, brainstorming, analysis.
Critique Mode ON Focused review of existing text. Editing, feedback, QA.
Simulation Mode ON β€” act as [role] until told otherwise. Consistent role-play or scenario testing. Training, narrative, simulations.

6. Precision & Stability

Command Purpose When to Use
Follow the next instructions with zero deviation. If unsure, ask first. Prevents interpretation drift. Style-sensitive or compliance work.
No drift mode ON Locks style fidelity. Brand-critical or regulated content.
Strict factual mode ON Minimizes speculative answers. Fact-checking, data integrity.

7. Advanced Seeds

Command Purpose When to Use
Multi-Role Panel: Roles = [list], Flow = [rules]. Begin only when seed is complete. Starts a multi-perspective simulation. Debate, creative ideation, scenario mapping.
Chained Logic Mode Avoids runaway generation. Complex workflows, logic chains.
Double-Blind Mode Reduces bias and priming. Testing reasoning integrity.
Zero-Assumption Mode Forces context validation. Ambiguous or high-risk queries.

8. Recovery & Diagnostics

Command Purpose When to Use
Emergency stop Halts an unwanted output in progress. Runaway or incorrect generation.
Undo last step Rolls back changes. Step-based work with revisions.
List all active modes/seeds. Displays current operational settings. Checking for conflicts before continuing.
Summarize session so far in 3 key points. Quick status check. Mid-session clarity or handover.

9. Quick-Start Scenarios

Scenario: Continue a paused project

Fresh session: ignore prior chats.
Context restore: [paste project summary].
Deep Mode ON.

Scenario: Sensitive research

Fresh session: ignore all prior chats, open windows, and stored memory.
Do not store, remember, or reuse anything from this session.
Strict factual mode ON.

Scenario: Multi-role analysis

Fresh session: ignore prior chats.
Multi-Role Panel: Roles = [Researcher, Skeptic, Strategist], Flow = [sequential critique].
Deep Mode ON.
