Slash commands

Type a slash command at the prompt of an interactive session. They work the same in the terminal UI and the line mode.

Command	Aliases	What it does
/model [provider/model]		Show the models of every provider, numbered, or switch the model
/model <number>		Switch to a model from the last /model listing
/mode [ask|edits|autopilot]		Show or change the permission mode
/agents		Show subagents, their status and what they are doing
/compact		Summarize the conversation to free context
/clear	/new	Start a new agent in this tab; the current one stays saved
/resume [id]		List recent sessions, or resume one
/sessions		List recent sessions
/cost	/usage	Token usage and cost of this session
/mcp		Connected tool servers and their tool counts
/memory		Saved memories
/web		Show the web UI’s address
/context		What this tab loaded: instruction files, docs, index, skills, commands and plugins. Answered without a model call.
/help	/?	List commands
/exit	/quit, /q	Quit this terminal; agents keep working in the daemon

Your own commands, your skills and the commands and skills of your plugins run the same way: /release-notes 2.0, /ponytail-review, /release-tools:release-notes 2.0. See Your own commands.

The full-screen UI adds two:

Command	What it does
/cd [folder]	Open a folder in a new tab; without a folder, the folder browser
/jobs	The jobs view: background processes the agents started

Notes

• In the full-screen UI, /model without an argument opens the model picker, /resume without an id and /sessions open the session list, /agents opens the agents view, and /help the key reference. Typing / shows matching commands as you type.
• /model with a new model applies from the next message. The model picker in the terminal UI and the model menu in the web UI do the same.
• /mode changes the mode of this tab, subagents included. /mode yolo and /mode auto mean autopilot.
• /cost prints input, cached and output tokens and the cost: input 3312 · cached 0 · output 366 · $0.0024.
• /web prints the daemon’s web UI address with its token. Approvals appear in every connected client, and the first answer wins. In a session running in its own process (when the daemon cannot be reached), /web starts a web UI for that session instead.
• /resume without an id lists the 10 most recent sessions; /sessions lists 20.

Your own commands

Anything that is not a built-in command runs a custom command, if one has that name:

Kind	Where it comes from
Markdown commands, Claude Code’s format	~/.malac/commands/, ~/.claude/commands/, <project>/.claude/commands/, <project>/.malac/commands/
TOML commands, Gemini CLI’s format	~/.gemini/commands/, <project>/.gemini/commands/
Skills	Every skill, as /<skill name>
Plugins	/<plugin>:<command> and /<plugin>:<skill>; the part after : alone when no other command has it

The command’s text goes to the agent after what you typed; $ARGUMENTS (or {{args}} in TOML) is the rest of the line. /help and the terminal UI’s completion list them, and /context shows where each came from. Writing them is covered in Writing agent types, skills and commands.

Keys

Key	Effect
Ctrl+C	Interrupt the current turn and every subagent it started
Ctrl+D	Exit (line mode)

The full-screen UI handles Ctrl+C differently: it stops a running turn, clears a prompt with text, and quits when pressed twice on an empty prompt. It has many more keys for its menus, tabs and transcript; see The terminal UI.
