Slash commands

Slash commands control the shell and system (TUI only).

Discover

Command	Does
/help [<topic>]	Full command list + this slash list; pass a topic (e.g. /help export, /help model) for focused, per-topic help
/features	Feature toggles with live on/off state and what each does - alias /toggle
/dashboard [<project>]	Telemetry rollup: calls · tokens · cost · latency · errors; per-chapter/section breakdown when a project is named
/trace	The opt-in agentic controller’s action trace - the move it chose per unit (draft · gather research · read canon · …) and why
/config	Show model routing + settings files
/path …	Manage the export directory (read/write/move) - /path show (where exports go), /path default <dir> (set the global default), /path <project> <dir> (per-project), /path clear [project]; the bare/interactive menu can also MOVE existing exports to the new location

Configure

Command	Does
/model	Show per-agent model routing
/model <slug>	Route ALL agents to one model (any OpenRouter slug)
/model <agent> <slug>	Set one agent, persisted - e.g. /model critic openai/gpt-4o (agents include planner, writer, critic, judge, verifier, diagram, …; routing judge/verifier cross-family gives an independent eye)
/provider [<id>]	List or switch the model host - openrouter (default) or deepseek direct; persisted (direct DeepSeek guarantees the prompt cache)
/set <key> <value>	Change any setting live - e.g. /set deep_research true
/theme [<name>]	List or switch the 11 themes (palette + wordmark font + glyphs); includes highcontrast, the colourblind-safe Okabe-Ito theme (ok = blue, error = vermillion)
/mode [book|article]	What new creates by default
/auto [on|off]	Autonomous (never pause) vs manual (review each unit); aliases /autonomous, /manual
/agentic [on|off|llm|default]	Toggle the opt-in self-directing controller (plan §21, off by default); the bare command shows the current mode and what the learned trace policy concluded from your past runs

Projects & learning

Command	Does
/use <project> / /books	Set the active project · list all
/praise [N]	Mark a committed unit as great writing - saved to voice/, feeds the writer and the learner
/skills / /skill <name> / /seed-skills	Browse skills · show one · install built-ins (/seed-skills alias /seed)
/user <id>	Switch user (multi-tenant brains)

Chat session

Command	Does
/update [changes]	Describe what you changed/want reviewed - the assistant reads project state and advises
/retry	Resend your last chat message
/reset / /compact	Clear chat memory · compress it to one summary
/clear / /exit	Clear screen · quit

Safety

The chat assistant can run most commands for you (including /set, so you can change settings in plain English), but delete, write, and /user are never auto-executed, and creating a project requires your explicit typed go-ahead - both enforced in code, not by prompt.
