The ones you pointed out are formatted strings for substitutions. They are part of the Sublime Text snippet substitutions, as documented - 

In addition to the place holder syntax, tab stops can specify more complex operations with substitutions. Use substitutions to dynamically generate text based on a mirrored tab stop.

The substitution syntax has the following syntaxes:

${var_name/regex/format_string/}
${var_name/regex/format_string/options}

So in your snippet, these are the substitutions - ${1/(T)|.*/(?1:s)/}, ${1:T}, ${1/(T)|(I)|.*/(?1:agName)(?2:d)/}.
