# Variables

> Insert current input, app context, and dates into reusable prompts.

Variables supply changing values to prompts and preferences that support templating. Open **Settings → Agents → Variables** to browse the available variables.

## Available context

## Use a variable

1. Open the AI Command, Agent instruction, or workflow field you want to customize.
2. Confirm that the field supports variables; use its picker when available.
3. Insert the appropriate value and test with harmless sample content.
4. Review whether an empty input or unavailable permission changes the result.

A text prompt can use supported template names such as:

```text theme={null}
Today is {{ now }}.
Rewrite the following input as a concise checklist:
{{ input_text }}
```

Variable availability depends on the command and context. Do not assume an ordinary text field evaluates templates. Screenshots and app content can require macOS permissions and a model that accepts the resulting input.
