Render-mode limits

Fullscreen only: /find, /jump, /timeline, /theme, /tutorial, /workflows, /dashboard.
Minimal only: /expand, /edit-prompt.
Agent Dashboard only: /cd.
The menu hides commands that cannot run in the current render mode.

Conditional commands

These commands appear only when their runtime feature or capability is available.

When enabled, /auto switches to classifier-based permission mode; running it again returns to Ask.
When available, /recap requests a session summary outside the prompt queue; the result is not added to the model conversation. Its alias is /summarize.
When enabled, /voice starts or stops dictation; Esc stops recording and Enter stops and sends. Voice mode lasts for the current process and is not saved to config.toml.
When goal mode is enabled, /goal sets, checks, pauses, resumes, or clears an autonomous goal.
/memory, /flush, and /dream need memory; /loop needs the scheduler tool.

Unavailable commands are omitted

Voice keyboard shortcuts are disabled in the shipped template; /voice remains available when the voice feature is enabled. Image or video generation is denied by the shipped profile, so /imagine and /imagine-video stay hidden. Hidden diagnostics are not listed.

Skills as commands

An enabled skill with user-invocable: true appears in the same menu as /skill-name. Built-in names win collisions, so a project or plugin skill remains available through its qualified name such as /local:compact. Disable a skill through /skills to stop advertising its slash command.

For terminal input problems, run rightnow doctor and follow Troubleshooting. Shell commands are in the CLI reference; keys are in Keyboard Shortcuts.
