a search operator argument will be replaced by your mention name. Note that passing search
operators and options (e.g. --owner foobar) will use the options as extra filtering
in the client.

Templating variables:
%id Print ID of story
%t Print title/name of story
%a Print archived status of story
%T Print the team name
%o Print owners of story
%r Print the requester
%l Print labels on story
%u Print URL of story

Note that the $ string operator in bash is helpful in allowing \t (tab) and \n (newline) literals in the formatting string. Otherwise, you can actually just type a newline character.
The default sorting for stories found is state.position:asc,position:asc, which translates to "sort by associated state position ascending, then by story position ascending within the same state."
