Commands

Type a slash command at the start of your message to trigger special actions. The commands below are built in.

In addition, most skills can be run as /skill-name, so your own skills appear in the same menu. See the notes below for the exceptions.

Command Reference

CommandDescription
/reportCreate a Quarto document from the current conversation. Optionally add instructions after the command.
/notebookExport the conversation as a Jupyter notebook.
/savememoryCreate or update the project memory file. Add instructions to guide what gets saved.
/compactSummarize the conversation to reduce token usage. Previous messages are hidden but preserved.
/microcompactReplace tool results with placeholders to reduce token usage.
/planEnter Plan mode to design an implementation approach before making changes.
/newStart a new conversation, restoring your preferred model settings if configured.
/clearStart a new conversation, keeping the current model, thinking effort, and web search settings.
/contextShow session context and token usage for the current conversation.
/pluginOpen the plugin & marketplace manager to browse, install, update, and enable plugins. Also available as /marketplace.
/mcpOpen the session panel, which lists your MCP servers and their status, and lets you sign in to any that need authentication.
/aboutShow version and build information.
/trustMark the current workspace as trusted. Required for memory files and project-level skills.
/restrictedToggle restricted mode. When enabled, every tool call requires confirmation.
/sandboxToggle sandbox mode for shell commands. Uses OS-level isolation on macOS/Linux; on Windows, gates active-shell commands with a built-in allowlist.
/yoloToggle automatic tool confirmation. When enabled, the assistant runs tools without asking.

Usage

Commands can be used on their own or with additional instructions:

/report
/report Focus on the visualization section and include the final plot code
/savememory Remember that this project uses tidymodels for all modeling work

Notes

  • /report and /notebook use the report skill to generate documents.
  • /compact uses a fast model to summarize, so it completes quickly. The original messages are preserved — compaction just hides them from future requests.
  • /microcompact runs locally and does not send a message to the model. It is unavailable while the assistant is streaming.
  • Most skills can be run as a slash command (/skill-name), including your own custom skills. Skills marked user-invocable: false are hidden from the menu, project skills need a trusted workspace, and if a skill’s name matches a built-in command, the built-in command takes precedence. See Skills for how invoking a skill differs from letting the assistant load it automatically.
