• {clipboard} - Will be replaced by the contents of the clipboard at the start of the recording. Can be useful if you want to copy a PR number or any other identifiable message that can be used in the file name
• {color} - Will be replaced with a random color
• {adjective} - Will be replaced with a random adjective
• {animal} - Will be replaced with a random animal
• {country} - Will be replaced with a random country
• {name} - Will be replaced with a random name

You can escape {} pairs by using double {{}}, so {{text}} will result in {text}
