Flags
Flags are CLI-style modifiers that can be used alongside Airbox verbs to further customize the output or provide more detailed instructions
Syntax
-short -lang=es -model=claude-sonnet-4-7 -m gpt-5.4
Boolean (true/false) flags have no value. Key-value flags use =. Use -m= as shorthand for -model=.
Supported flags
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
| -short | Keep the response very short (also implied by #tldr) |
| -lang=es | Target language for #translate |
| -model=name | Use a different model from your connection default for this email only |
| -m=name | Shorthand for -model |
| -file | Also attach the reply as a file (defaults to airbox-reply.md) |
| -file=name.ext | Attach the reply as a file with this name; the extension sets the type (e.g. .csv, .md, .txt, .json) |
Examples
Subject: (* @claude #summarize -short *) Subject: @claude #translate -lang=es Subject: @openai -model=gpt-4.1-mini #decide Subject: @claude #extract the line items as CSV -file=invoice.csv
The model name must be one your provider accepts. Your connection's dashboard default still applies when you omit -model.
