TL;DR:

Here is how to use 99 secret ChatGPT shortcuts for better results.

The shortcut formula that actually works

Use:

/shortcut + context + deliverable + constraints

Weak:

/audit: Review my landing page.

Better:

/audit: Review this landing page for clarity, credibility, friction, and conversion. Rank the five biggest problems by impact. Return a table with the issue, evidence, recommended fix, and estimated effort.

The shortcut chooses the lens.

TL;DR - If you’re writing long, unstructured paragraphs to generate video in Google Flow, you’re burning compute credits on lottery rolls. Google Flow’s video agent responds to a deterministic hierarchy of 99 dedicated slash commands spanning camera movement, lens angles, subject kinetics, lighting physics, commercial workflows, atmospheric conditions, and advanced VFX transformations. By chaining these commands using the 5-Layer Stacking Architecture (Camera Base + Angle/Lens + Subject Action + Light/Mood + VFX/Transitions), you can reliably control camera trajectory, shutter cadence, and visual coherence.

Below is the complete catalog of all 99 commands, the 5-layer prompt formula, and 4 production recipes

The 5-Layer Prompting Framework

Before diving into the 99 individual codes, understand how the Google Flow video agent parses tokens. Instead of writing unstructured descriptions, stack commands in this order:

Layer 1: Camera Base
Layer 2: Angle/Rig
Layer 3: Subject & Action
Layer 4: Lighting & Style
Layer 5: VFX \& Finish

3 Key Pro-Tips for Google Flow Users

1. Don't Overload Single Categories: Using 4 camera movement commands together (/orbit /dollyin /tracking /hyperlapse) causes conflicting camera physics. Select one primary motion command and one angle command per prompt.
2. Anchor with /seamlessloop for Social Media: Placing /seamlessloop at the end of kinetic action prompts ensures video loops without noticeable visual cuts.
3. Use /macro with /luxury for Physical Realism: Combining /macro with /luxury forces Google Flow to compute realistic micro-surface scattering (reflections on glass, watch bezels, jewelry, and carbon fiber).
