## Â Command parameters
Let's dive into something a little bit more advanced, like writing parameterized custom commands. Whenever you're working with these kinds of prompts, you need to pay extra attention to how you structure your prompts.

I will provide you with a transcript of the video, so that you can write a targeted comment. Here is the video transcript: {{youtube.transcript}} Additional instructions regarding the comment I’d like you to write: {{p1}} Comment:
Next, we will add a question for parameter. Hit the ADD PARAMETER button in the bottom right corner of the command window. A new input box will appear. In this case, the {{p1}} parameter will contain extra instructions, so we can simply label it Instructions . Parameter label or question will pop up when you run the prompt.
Give the command a name and hit SAVE COMMAND . Done! Now let’s test the command by navigating to a YouTube video, launch the prompt, input instructions, and wait for ChatGPT to write a comment. HARPA will extract video transcript, analyze it and write a comment for you. Here are some examples:
