# STscript Language Reference

# What is STscript?

It's a simple yet powerful scripting language that could be used to expand the functionality of SillyTavern without serious coding, allowing you to:

  • Create mini-games or speed run challenges
  • Build AI-powered chat insights
  • Unleash your creativity and share with others

STscript is built using the slash commands engine, utilizing command batching, data piping, macros, and variables. These concepts are going to be described in the following document.

STscript is still in active development. It's recommended to use the staging branch if you plan to use any of its features.

# Security precaution

With great power comes great responsibility. Be careful and always inspect the scripts before executing them.

# Hello, World!

To run your first script, open any SillyTavern chat and type the following into the chat input bar:

/pass Hello, World! | /echo
Hello World

You should see the message in the toast on top of the screen. Now let's break it down bit by bit.

A script is a batch of commands, each one starting with the slash, with or without named and unnamed arguments, and terminated with the command separator character: |.

Commands are executed sequentially, one after another, and transfer data between each other.

  1. The /pass command accepts a constant value of "Hello, World!" as an unnamed argument and writes it to the pipe.
  2. The /echo command receives the value through the pipe from the previous command and displays it as a toast notification.

Hint: To see a list of all available commands, type /help slash into the chat.

As constant unnamed arguments and pipes are interchangeable, we could rewrite this script simply as:

/echo Hello, World!

# User input

Now let's add a little bit of interactivity to the script. We will accept the input value from the user and display it in the notification.

/input Enter your name |
/echo Hello, my name is {{pipe}}
  1. The /input command is used to display an input box with the prompt specified in the unnamed argument and then writes the output to the pipe.
  2. Because /echo already has an unnamed argument that sets the template for the output, we use the {{pipe}} macro to specify a place where the pipe value will be rendered.

# Other input/output commands

  • /popup (text) — shows a blocking popup, supports lite HTML formatting, e.g: /popup <font color=red>I'm red!</font>.
  • /setinput (text) — replaces the contents of the user input bar with the provided text.
  • /speak voice="name" (text) — narrates the text using the selected TTS engine and the character name from the voice map, e.g. /speak name="Donald Duck" Quack!.
  • /buttons labels=["a","b"] (text) — shows a blocking popup with the specified text and button labels. labels must be a JSON-serialized array of strings or a variable name containing such an array. Returns the clicked button label into the pipe or empty string if canceled. The text supports lite HTML formatting.

# Arguments for /popup and /input

/popup and /input support the following additional named arguments:

  • large=on/off - increases the vertical size of the popup. Default: off.
  • wide=on/off - increases the horizontal size of the popup. Default: off.
  • okButton=string - adds ability to customize the text on the "Ok" button. Default: Ok.
  • rows=number - (only for /input) increases the size of the input control. Default: 1.

Example:

/popup large=on wide=on okButton="Accept" Please accept our terms and conditions....

# Arguments for /echo

/echo supports the following values for the additional severity argument that sets the style of the displayed message.

  • warning
  • error
  • info (default)
  • success

Example:

/echo severity=error Something really bad happened.

# Variables

Variables are used to store and manipulate data in scripts, using either commands or macros. The variables could be one of the following types:

  • Local variables — saved to the metadata of the current chat, and unique to it.
  • Global variables — saved to the settings.json and exist everywhere across the app.
  1. /getvar name or {{getvar::name}} — gets the value of the local variable.
  2. /setvar key=name value or {{setvar::name::value}} — sets the value of the local variable.
  3. /addvar key=name increment or {{addvar::name::increment}} — adds the increment to the value of the local variable.
  4. /incvar name or {{incvar::name}} — increments a value of the local variable by 1.
  5. /decvar name or {{decvar::name}} — decrements a value of the local variable by 1.
  6. /getglobalvar name or {{getglobalvar::name}} — gets the value of the global variable.
  7. /setglobalvar key=name or {{setglobalvar::name::value}} — sets the value of the global variable.
  8. /addglobalvar key=name or {{addglobalvar::name:increment}} — adds the increment to the value of the global variable.
  9. /incglobalvar name or {{incglobalvar::name}} — increments a value of the global variable by 1.
  10. /decglobalvar name or {{decglobalvar::name}} — decrements a value of the global variable by 1.
  11. /flushvar name — deletes the value of the local variable.
  12. /flushglobalvar name — deletes the value of the global variable.
  • The default value of previously undefined variables is an empty string or a zero of it is first used in the /addvar, /incvar, /decvar command.
  • Increment in the /addvar command performs an addition or subtraction of the value if both increment and the variable value can be converted to a number, or otherwise does the string concatenation.
  • If a command argument accepts a variable name and both local and global variables exist with the same name, then the local variable takes priority.
  • All slash commands for variable manipulation write the resulting value into the pipe for the next command to use.
  • For macros, only the "get", "inc", and "dec" type macro returns the value, "add" and "set" are replaced with an empty string instead.

Now, let's consider the following example:

/input What do you want to generate? |
/setvar key=SDinput |
/echo Requesting an image of {{getvar::SDinput}} |
/getvar SDinput |
/imagine
  1. The value of the user input is saved in the local variable named SDinput.
  2. The getvar macro is used to display the value in the /echo command.
  3. The getvar command is used to retrieve the value of the variable and pass it through the pipe.
  4. The value is passed to the /imagine command (provided by the Image Generation plugin) to be used as its input prompt.

Since the variables are saved and not flushed between the script executions, you can reference the variable in other scripts and via macros, and it will resolve to the same value as during the execution of the example script. To guarantee that the value will be discarded, add the /flushvar command to the script.

# Arrays and objects

Variable values can contain JSON-serialized arrays or key-value pairs (objects).

Examples:

  • Array: ["apple","banana","orange"]
  • Object: {"fruits":["apple","banana","orange"]}

The following modifications can be applied to commands to work with these variables:

  • /len commands gets a number of items in the array.
  • index=number/string named argument can be added /getvar or /setvar and their global counterparts to get or set sub-values by either a zero-based index for arrays or a string key for objects.
    • If a numeric index is used on a nonexistent variable, the variable will be created as an empty array [].
    • If a string index is used on a nonexistent variable, the variable will be created as an empty object {}.
  • /addvar and /addglobalvar commands support pushing a new value to array-typed variables.

# Flow control - conditionals

You can use the /if command to create conditional expressions that branch the execution based on the defined rules.

/if left=valueA right=valueB rule=comparison else="(command on false)" "(command on true)"

Let's review the following example:

/input What's your favorite drink? |
/if left={{pipe}} right="black tea" rule=eq else="/echo You shall not pass \| /abort" "/echo Welcome to the club, \{\{user\}\}"

This script evaluates the user input against a required value and displays different messages, depending on the input value.

# Arguments for /if

  1. left is the first operand. Let's call it A.
  2. right is the second operand. Let's call it B.
  3. rule is the operation to be applied to the operands.
  4. else is the optional string of subcommands to be executed if the result of boolean comparison is false.
  5. Unnamed argument is the subcommand to be executed if the result of boolean comparison is true.

The operand values are evaluated in the following order:

  1. Numeric literals
  2. Local variable names
  3. Global variable names
  4. String literals

String values of named arguments could be escaped with quotes to allow multi-word strings. Quotes are then discarded.

# Boolean operations

Supported rules for boolean comparison are the following. An operation applied to the operands results in either a true or false value.

  1. eq (equals) => A = B
  2. neq (not equals) => A != B
  3. lt (less than) => A < B
  4. gt (greater than) => A > B
  5. lte (less than or equals) => A <= B
  6. gte (greater than or equals) => A >= B
  7. not (unary negation) => !A
  8. in (includes substring) => A includes B, case insensitive
  9. nin (not includes substring) => A not includes B, case insensitive

# Subcommands

A subcommand is a string containing a list of slash commands to execute.

  1. To use command batching in subcommands, the command separator character should be escaped like this: \|.
  2. Since macro values are executed when the conditional is entered, not when the subcommand is executed, a macro could be additionally escaped to delay their evaluation to the subcommand execution time: \{\{\macro\}\}.
  3. The result of the subcommands execution is piped to the command after /if.
  4. The /abort command interrupts the script execution when encountered.

/if commands can be used as a ternary operator. The following example will pass a "true" string to the next command the variable a equals 5, and a "false" string otherwise.

/if left=a right=5 rule=eq else="/pass false" "/pass true" |
/echo

# Flow control - loops

If you need to run some command in a loop until a certain condition is met, use the /while command.

/while left=valueA right=valueB rule=operation guard=on "commands"

On each step of the loop it compares the value of variable A with the value of variable B, and if the condition yields true, then executes any valid slash command enclosed in quotes, otherwise exists the loop. This command doesn't write anything to the output pipe.

# Arguments for /while

The set of available boolean comparisons, handing of variables, literal values, and subcommands is the same as for the /if command.

The optional guard named argument (on by default) is used to protect against endless loops, limiting the number of iterations to 100. To disable and allow endless loops, set guard=off.

This example adds 1 to the value of i until it reaches 10, then outputs the resulting value (10 in this case).

/setvar key=i 0 |
/while left=i right=10 rule=lt "/addvar key=i 1" |
/echo {{getvar::i}} |
/flushvar i

# Arguments for /times

Runs a subcommand a specified number of times.

/times (repeats) "(command)" – any valid slash command enclosed in quotes repeats a number of times, e.g. /setvar key=i 1 | /times 5 "/addvar key=i 1" adds 1 to the value of "i" 5 times.

  • {{timesIndex}} is replaced with the iteration number (zero-based), e.g. /times 4 "/echo {{timesIndex}}" echoes the numbers 0 through 4.
  • Loops are limited to 100 iterations by default, pass guard=off to disable.

# Math operations

  • All of the following operations accept a series of numbers or variable names and output the result to the pipe.
  • Invalid operations (such as division by zero), and operations that result in a NaN value or infinity return zero.
  • Multiplication, addition, minimum and maximum accept an unlimited number of arguments separated by spaces.
  • Subtraction, division, exponentiation, and modulo accept two arguments separated by spaces.
  • Sine, cosine, natural logarithm, square root, absolute value, and rounding accept one argument.

List of operations:

  1. /add (a b c d) – performs an addition of the set of values, e.g. /add 10 i 30 j
  2. /mul (a b c d) – performs a multiplication of the set of values, e.g. /mul 10 i 30 j
  3. /max (a b c d) – returns a maximum from the set of values, e.g. /max 1 0 4 k
  4. /min (a b c d) – return a minimum from the set of values, e.g. /min 5 4 i 2
  5. /sub (a b) – performs a subtraction of two values, e.g. /sub i 5
  6. /div (a b) – performs a division of two values, e.g. /div 10 i
  7. /mod (a b) – performs a modulo operation of two values, e.g. /mod i 2
  8. /pow (a b) – performs a power operation of two values, e.g. /pow i 2
  9. /sin (a) – performs a sine operation of a value, e.g. /sin i
  10. /cos (a) – performs a cosine operation of a value, e.g. /cos i
  11. /log (a) – performs a natural logarithm operation of a value, e.g. /log i
  12. /abs (a) – performs an absolute value operation of a value, e.g. /abs -10
  13. /sqrt (a)– performs a square root operation of a value, e.g. /sqrt 9
  14. /round (a) – performs a rounding to the nearest integer operation of a value, e.g. /round 3.14
  15. /rand (round=round|ceil|floor from=number=0 to=number=1) – returns a random number between from and to, e.g. /rand or /rand 10 or /rand from=5 to=10. Ranges are inclusive. The returned value will contain a fractional part. Use round named argument to get an integral value, e.g. /rand round=ceil to round up, round=floor to round down, and round=round to round to nearest.

# Example 1: get an area of a circle with a radius of 50.

/setglobalvar key=PI 3.1415 |
/setvar key=r 50 |
/mul r r PI |
/round |
/echo Circle area: {{pipe}}

# Example 2: calculate a factorial of 5.

/setvar key=input 5 |
/setvar key=i 1 |
/setvar key=product 1 |
/while left=i right=input rule=lte "/mul product i \| /setvar key=product \| /addvar key=i 1" |
/getvar product |
/echo Factorial of {{getvar::input}}: {{pipe}} |
/flushvar input |
/flushvar i |
/flushvar product

# Using the LLM

Scripts can make requests to your currently connected LLM API using the following commands:

  • /gen (prompt) — generates text using the provided prompt for the selected character and including chat messages.
  • /genraw (prompt) — generates text using just the provided prompt, ignoring the current character and chat.
  • /trigger — triggers a normal generation (equivalent to clicking a "Send" button). If in group chat, you can optionally provide a 1-based group member index or a character name to have them reply, otherwise triggers a group round according to the group settings.

# Arguments for /gen and /genraw

/genraw lock=on/off stop=[] instruct=on/off (prompt)

  • lock — can be on or off. Specifies whether a user input should be blocked while the generation is in progress. Default: off.
  • stop — JSON-serialized array of strings. Adds a custom stop string (if the API supports it) just for this generation. Default: none.
  • instruct (only /genraw) — can be on or off. Allows to use instruct formatting on the input prompt (if instruct mode is enabled and the API supports it). Set to off to force pure prompts. Default: on.
  • as (for Text Completion APIs) — can be system (default) or char. Defines how the last prompt line will be formatted. char will use a character name, system will use no or neutral name.

The generated text is then passed through the pipe to the next command and can be saved to a variable or displaced using the I/O capabilities:

/genraw Write a funny message from Cthulhu about taking over the world. Use emojis. |
/popup <h3>Cthulhu says:</h3><div>{{pipe}}</div>
Cthulhu Says

# Prompt injections

Scripts can add custom LLM prompt injections, making it essentially an equivalent of unlimited Author's Notes.

  • /inject (text) — inserts any text into the normal LLM prompt for the current chat, and requires a unique identifier. Saved to chat metadata.
  • /listinjects — shows a list of all prompt injections added by scripts for the current chat in a system message.
  • /flushinjects — deletes all prompt injections added by scripts for the current chat.
  • /note (text) — sets the Author's Note value for the current chat. Saved to chat metadata.
  • /interval — sets the Author's Note insertion interval for the current chat.
  • /depth — sets the Author's Note insertion depth for the in-chat position.
  • /position — sets the Author's Note position for the current chat.

# Arguments for /inject

/inject id=IdGoesHere position=chat depth=4 My prompt injection

  • id — an identifier string or a reference to a variable. Consequent calls of /inject with the same ID will overwrite the previous text injection. Required argument.
  • position — sets a position for the injection. Default: after. Possible values:
    • after: after the main prompt.
    • before: before main prompt.
    • chat: in-chat.
  • depth — sets an injection depth for the in-chat position. 0 means insertion after the last message, 1 - before the last message, etc. Default: 4.
  • Unnamed argument is a text to be injected. An empty string will unset the previous value for the provided identifier.

# Access chat messages

# Read messages

You can access messages in the currently selected chat using the /messages command.

/messages names=on/off start-finish

  • The names argument is used to specify whether you want to include character names or not, default: on.
  • In an unnamed argument, it accepts a message index or range in the start-finish format. Ranges are inclusive!
  • If the range is unsatisfiable, i.e. an invalid index or more messages than exist are requested, then an empty string is returned.
  • Messages that are hidden from the prompt (denoted by the ghost icon) are excluded from the output.
  • If you want to know the index of the latest message, use the {{lastMessageId}} macro, and {{lastMessage}} will get you the message itself.

To calculate the start index for a range, for example, when you need to get the last N messages, use variable subtraction. This example will get you 3 last messages in the chat:

/setvar key=start {{lastMessageId}} |
/addvar key=start -2 |
/messages names=off {{getvar::start}}-{{lastMessageId}} |
/setinput

# Send messages

A script can send messages as either a user, character, persona, neutral narrator, or add comments.

  1. /send (text) — adds a message as the currently selected persona.
  2. /sendas name=charname (text) — adds a message as any character, matching by their name. name argument is required. Use the {{char}} macro to send as the current character.
  3. /sys (text) — adds a message from the neutral narrator that doesn't belong to the user or character. The displayed name is purely cosmetic and can be customized with the /sysname command.
  4. /comment (text) — adds a hidden comment that is displayed in the chat but is not visible to the prompt.
  5. /addswipe (text) — adds a swipe to the last character message. Can't add a swipe to the user or hidden messages.
  6. /hide (message id or range) — hides one or several messages from the prompt based on the provided message index or inclusive range in the start-finish format.
  7. /unhide (message id or range) — returns one or several messages to the prompt based on the provided message index or inclusive range in the start-finish format.

/send, /sendas, /sys, and /comment commands optionally accept a named argument at with a zero-based numeric value (or a variable name that contains such a value) that specifies an exact position of message insertion. By default new messages are inserted at the end of the chat log.

This will insert a user message at the beginning of the conversation history:

/send at=0 Hi, I use Linux.

# Delete messages

These commands are potentially destructive and have no "undo" function. Check the /backups/ folder if you accidentally deleted something important.

  1. /cut (message id or range) — cuts one or several messages from the chat based on the provided message index or inclusive range in the start-finish format.
  2. /del (number) — deletes last N messages from the chat.
  3. /delswipe (1-based swipe id) — deletes a swipe from the last character message based on the provided 1-based swipe ID.
  4. /delname (character name) — deletes all messages in the current chat that belong to a character with the specified name.
  5. /delchat — deletes the current chat.

# World Info commands

World Info (also known as Lorebook) is a highly utilitarian tool for dynamically inserting data into the prompt. See the dedicated page for more detailed explanation: World Info.

  1. /getchatbook – gets a name of the chat-bound World Info file or create a new one if was unbound, and pass it down the pipe.
  2. /findentry file=bookName field=fieldName [text] – finds a UID of the record from the specified file (or a variable pointing to a file name) using fuzzy matching of a field value with the provided text (default field: key) and passes the UID down the pipe, e.g. /findentry file=chatLore field=key Shadowfang.
  3. /getentryfield file=bookName field=field [UID] – gets a field value (default field: content) of the record with the UID from the specified World Info file (or a variable pointing to a file name) and passes the value down the pipe, e.g. /getentryfield file=chatLore field=content 123.
  4. /setentryfield file=bookName uid=UID field=field [text] – sets a field value (default field: content) of the record with the UID (or a variable pointing to UID) from the specified World Info file (or a variable pointing to a file name). To set multiple values for key fields, use a comma-delimited list as a text value, e.g. /setentryfield file=chatLore uid=123 field=key Shadowfang,sword,weapon.
  5. /createentry file=bookName key=keyValue [content text] – creates a new record in the specified file (or a variable pointing to a file name) with the key and content (both of these arguments are optional) and passes the UID down the pipe, e.g. /createentry file=chatLore key=Shadowfang The sword of the king.

# Valid entry fields

# Text manipulation

There's a variety of useful text manipulation utility commands to be used in various script scenarios.

  1. /trimtokens — trims the input to the specified number of text tokens from the start or from the end and outputs the result to the pipe.
  2. /trimstart — trims the input to the start of the first complete sentence and outputs the result to the pipe.
  3. /trimend — trims the input to the end of the last complete sentence and outputs the result to the pipe.
  4. /fuzzy — performs fuzzy matching of the input text to the list of strings, outputting the best string match to the pipe.
  5. /regex name=scriptName [text] — executes a regex script from the Regex extension for the specified text. The script must be enabled.

# Arguments for /trimtokens

/trimtokens limit=number direction=start/end (input)

  1. direction sets the direction for trimming, which can be either start or end. Default: end.
  2. limit sets the amount of tokens to left in the output. Can also specify a variable name containing the number. Required argument.
  3. Unnamed argument is the input text to be trimmed.

# Arguments for /fuzzy

/fuzzy list=["candidate1","candidate2"] (input)

  1. list is a JSON-serialized array of strings containing the candidates. Can also specify a variable name containing the list. Required argument.
  2. Unnamed argument is the input text to be matched. Output is one of the candidates matching the input most closely.

# Quick Replies: script library and auto-execution

Quick Replies is a built-in SillyTavern extension that provides an easy way to store and execute your scripts.

# Configuring Quick Replies

In order to get started, enable open the extensions panel (stacked blocks icon), and expand the Quick Replies menu.

Quick Reply
Quick Reply

Quick Replies are disabled by default, you need to enable them first. Then you will see a bar appearing above your chat input bar.

You can set the displayed button text label (we recommend using emojis for brevity) and the script that will be executed when you click the button.

The number of buttons is controlled by the Number of slots settings (max = 100), adjust it according to your needs and click "Apply" when done.

Inject user input automatically recommended to be disabled when using STscript, otherwise it may interfere with your inputs, use the {{input}} macro to get the current value of the input bar in scripts instead.

Quick Reply presets allow to have multiple sets of predefined Quick Replies and switch between manually or by using the /qrset (name of set) command. Don't forget to click "Update" before switching to a different set to write your changes to the currently used preset!

# Manual execution

Now you can add your first script to the library. Pick any free slot (or create one), type "Click me" into the left box to set the label, then paste this into the right box:

/addvar key=clicks 1 |
/if left=clicks right=5 rule=eq else="/echo Keep going..." "/echo You did it!  \| /flushvar clicks"

Then click 5 times on the button that appeared above the chat bar. Every click increments the variable clicks by one and displays a different message when the value equals 5 and resets the variable.

# Automatic execution

Open the modal menu by clicking the button for the created command.

Automatic execution

In this menu you can do the following:

  • Edit the script in a convenient full screen editor
  • Hide the button from the chat bar, making it accessible only for auto-execution.
  • Enable automatic execution on one or more of the following conditions:
    • App startup
    • Sending a user message to the chat
    • Receiving an AI message in the chat
    • Opening a character or group chat
    • Triggering a reply from a group member
    • Activating a World Info entry using the same Automation ID
  • Provide a custom tool-tip for the quick reply (text displayed when hovering over the quick reply in your UI)
  • Execute the script for test purposes

Commands are executed automatically only if the Quick Replies extension is enabled.

For example, you can display a message after sending five user messages by adding the following script and setting it to auto-execute on the user message.

/addvar key=usercounter 1 |
/echo You've sent {{pipe}} messages. |
/if left=usercounter right=5 rule=gte "/echo Game over! \| /flushvar usercounter"

# Calling procedures

A /run command can call scripts defined in the Quick Replies by their label, basically providing the ability to define procedures and return results from them. This allows to have reusable script blocks that other scripts could reference. The last result from the procedure's pipe is passed to the next command after it.

/run ScriptLabel

Let's create two Quick Replies:


Label:

GetRandom

Command:

/pass {{roll:d100}}

Label:

GetMessage

Command:

/run GetRandom | /echo Your lucky number is: {{pipe}}

Clicking on the GetMessage button will call the GetRandom procedure which will resolve the {{roll}} macro and pass the number to the caller, displaying it to the user.

  • Procedures do not accept named or unnamed arguments, but can reference the same variables as the caller.
  • Avoid recursion when calling procedures as it may produce the "call stack exceeded" error if handled unadvisedly.

# Calling procedures from a different Quick Reply preset

You can call a procedure from a different quick reply preset using the a.b syntax, where a = QR preset name and b = QR label name

/run QRpreset1.QRlabel1

By default, the system will first look for a quick reply label a.b, so if one of your labels is literally "QRpreset1.QRlabel1" it will try to run that. If no such label is found, it will search for a QR preset name "QRpreset1" with a QR labelled "QRlabel1".

# Quick Replies management commands

# Create Quick Reply

  • /qr-create (arguments, [message]) – creates a new Quick Reply, example: /qr-create set=MyPreset label=MyButton /echo 123

Arguments:

  • label - string - text on the button, e.g., label=MyButton
  • set - string - name of the QR set, e.g., set=PresetName1
  • hidden - bool - whether the button should be hidden, e.g., hidden=true
