Commands and shortcuts
Most users can work entirely through normal language and UI controls. Slash commands provide deterministic access to state changes and selected tools.
Conversation-state commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
/cd <path> | Set the persistent tool working directory for this conversation. |
/pwd | Show the effective working directory. |
/agent_steps | Show the current agent tool-step cap. |
/agent_steps <4-60> | Set the cap for agent tool results in one turn. |
/think on | Ask a hybrid reasoning model to enable thinking for this conversation. |
/think off | Ask it to suppress thinking. |
/think auto | Restore the backend default and send no reasoning override. |
/think is advisory. Models without a controllable thinking mode ignore it. A strict remote endpoint that rejects the reasoning field may require /think auto.
Goal commands
/goal <objective>
/goal status
/goal pause
/goal resume
/goal continue
/goal verify
/goal rebuild contract
/goal clearTool-shaped slash commands
These user-entered commands use the same dispatcher, safety metadata, path checks, and approval behavior as Agent Mode:
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
/read <file> | Read a text file. |
/read_head <file> | Read the leading lines of a file. |
/ls [path] | List a folder. |
/grep <pattern> [path] | Search text in files. |
/open <path> | Open a file or folder in Windows. |
/cmd <PowerShell> | Run a command through the PowerShell policy. Clearly read-only commands can auto-run; broader valid commands require approval. |
/write, /overwrite_file, /mkdir, /edit, /delete | File mutation commands, subject to writable-root and approval rules. |
Document and data commands
The agent can use these tools directly. User-entered slash routing is strongest for the established PDF, CSV, and XLSX flows; DOCX and ZIP capabilities should generally be requested through Agent Mode.
/csv_inspect <file.csv>
/csv_report <file.csv>
/csv_to_xlsx <file.csv>
/xlsx_inspect <file.xlsx>
/xlsx_report <file.xlsx>
/xlsx_create_workbook ...
/pdf_extract_text <file.pdf>
/pdf_inspect_form <file.pdf>
/pdf_fill_form ...Agent-only capabilities also include docx_extract_text, docx_inspect, zip_inspect, zip_extract, Python helpers, personal notes, project notes, and webpage retrieval.
