CLI commands
Terminal commands, keys, and launch flags.
Type / to open the command palette. Use the arrow keys to select, Enter to run, and Escape to dismiss. Commands that take text keep the composer open for the rest of the request. /help lists every command and key.
Work and models
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
/model | Choose one model for every phase, a model per phase, or reset to automatic |
/effort | Choose auto, low, medium, or high sprint effort |
/sprint <feature> | Launch a dedicated sprint in a new session |
/fork <prompt> | Start a task in a new isolated session |
/plan | Plan mode: each message changes the plan (flows, spec, roadmap, architecture) and no code runs. It stays on until /auto |
/auto | Auto mode, the default: the agent decides whether to answer, plan, or build |
A message that starts with >> also forks a task. Separate sessions use separate Git worktrees. Review their changes and integration result, particularly when tasks change related files.
