Say it once. It sticks.

Directives are the // commands that change how a session behaves: which model answers, how it writes, what it is allowed to touch. Use the built-in ones or write your own and they are there on every device.

Built-in and your own, side by side. Search by name or by what it does.

What the research actually found
“The custom GPT layer has been dead on arrival at every company I have talked to for a year. Distribution was always the product problem, not capability.”

What Overwatch does about it

The demand underneath "I want an agent marketplace" is not a directory of strangers' bots. It is reusable instructions of your own that follow you. Directives are exactly that: prompt, tools, model and intensity saved once and synced to every device.

What that gets you

10 / Directives
01

Built-in // directives

Route a message to a different engine, generate an image, run live research, change how hard it thinks. All from the message box.

02

Write your own

Turn a paragraph you keep retyping into a named directive. Call it by name from any session.

03

Browse and search

Every / command and // directive in one searchable palette, so you never have to remember the exact name.

How it works

In the app

Reusable instructions, not a bot store

A directive is a saved way of working: the instruction, the model, the intensity, the tools it may use. Yours, private, and available everywhere you sign in.

  • Named and callable from any session
  • Carries model and intensity with it
  • Scoped globally or to one folder
write your own
//ship-checkcustom
Verify it compiles, deploy, then confirm the change is live before you answer. Lead with the result.

A paragraph you keep retyping becomes one named directive.

The palette knows what exists

Hit the shortcuts panel and search. Every command and directive with what it does, so a new one is discoverable the day you write it.

  • Search by name or by what it does
  • Built-in and custom side by side
  • Insert straight into the message box
