@Mention
What Is @ Mention
When chatting with the AI, you can inject content from your novel as context to help the AI better understand your creative needs. Two types of references are supported:
- Module references: Use the @ symbol to reference characters, scenes, chapters, and other modules â their full content is passed to the AI's context window
- Text quotes: Select text passages from the editor to add to the conversation â the AI can analyze and work with specific paragraphs
Module References
What You Can Mention
You can @ any module in your current novel, including:
| Type | Example | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Characters | @Lin Waner | Let AI understand personality and background for in-character dialogue |
| Scenes | @Imperial Palace | Provide environment details for accurate descriptions |
| Organizations | @Royal Guard | Reference organizational structure and members |
| Props | @Imperial Seal | Access prop attributes and history |
| Settings | @Magic System | Ensure content follows world-building rules |
| Chapters | @Chapter 3 | Reference existing chapter content for continuity |
The module selector groups items by type for quick navigation.
How to Add
There are three ways to add modules as context for AI conversations:
Method 1: Trigger with @
- Type
@in the AI assistant input field - A dropdown appears showing all modules in the current novel (grouped by type)
- Continue typing to fuzzy-search and filter
- Click or press Enter to select a module
- The selected module appears as a badge in the input field
Method 2: Toolbar + Button
Click the + button on the left side of the AI assistant input field to open the same module selector dropdown. Selected modules appear as badges in the input field.
Method 3: Context Menu / Shortcut
Right-click any module in the module tree on the left panel and select "Add to Chat"; or select a module and press âL to add it quickly.
Text Quotes
In addition to referencing entire modules, you can also quote specific text passages from the editor:
Select a text passage in the editor, then right-click and choose "Add to Chat" (or press âL). The selected text will be added as a quote badge in the AI assistant input field, displayed as đ Chapter X, chars Y-Z, indicating the chapter and character position of the quote.
Keyboard Shortcut
| Shortcut | Context | Effect |
|---|---|---|
âL | Module selected in the module tree | Add the selected module to the chat |
âL | Text selected in the editor | Add the selected text as a quote to the chat |
Manage Referenced Content
Selected modules appear as green badges in the input field, while text quotes appear as đ badges. Click the à on a badge to remove it. You can mention multiple modules and text passages in a single message to freely combine context.
Context Injection
When you send a message, all referenced content is injected into the AI's system prompt:
- Module references: Injected as "Referenced Materials", including each module's title, type, and full content
- Text quotes: Injected as "Text Quotes", including chapter info, character positions, and the actual text content
- Overly long content is automatically truncated, preserving key information
- Referenced content is sent alongside your message text, so the AI understands both "what you're saying" and "what you're referencing"
Use Cases
Character Dialogue Generation
@ two characters to have AI generate dialogue based on their personalities
@Lin Waner @Fan Xian Write a dialogue for their first meeting at the tavern
The AI reads both characters' full profiles (personality, speech patterns, background) and generates in-character dialogue.
Plot Continuation
@ a chapter outline or the previous chapter for AI to continue writing
@Chapter 5 Based on this chapter's ending, write the opening of Chapter 6
Setting Consistency Check
@ world-building settings to have AI verify content
@Magic System Does the spell usage in this battle scene follow the established rules?
Cross-Module Analysis
@ multiple modules to analyze relationships between them
@Lin Waner @Fan Xian @Emperor Qing Analyze the power dynamics between these three characters
Tips
- Be precise: Only @ modules relevant to the current task â avoid injecting too much unrelated content that wastes the context window
- Combine with skills: When triggering a skill (e.g.,
/character-operations), @ relevant characters so the AI can operate more precisely - Best in Agent mode: In Agent mode, AI can act on referenced content by calling tools; in Ask mode, it only uses references to inform answers
