New features

Implemented commands from ShortlyAI (references #1 (comment)):

• Slash commands (commands explained here)
  • /instruct [instructions] - Use to give instructions on what the AI should write next (e.g. write about...)
  • /rewrite [text] - Rewrites text in a unique way (max 160 characters)
  • /shorten [text] - Shortens text to make it more concise (max 200 characters)
  • /expand [text] - Extends and develops text (max 120 characters)
• /// content seperators - Isolates content to prevent earlier sections of your writing from influencing the AI's output. For example, if the content above is a list, but you no longer wish to to write in a list format, this can be helpful.
