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.

/fork add tests for the invoice date formatter

Project

Command	Action
/project	Make a chat-only project a full project: Plan, Code, and Preview, with its code, keys, and data in step with the cloud
/reverse	Analyze an existing codebase and produce architecture context
/init	Have the agent write or refresh CLAUDE.md for this repository
/share	Open the project’s sharing controls in your browser
/publish [what changed]	Publish the app to its permanent address, or ship your latest changes there
/unpublish	Take the published app down; its address shows your latest draft again

Escape returns from project views to chat. Views require the corresponding project data.

In the Skills and MCP panels, press Enter or Space to toggle an entry, d to remove it, and o to open workspace Integrations in the browser. Connecting provider accounts happens on the web. These panels show your personal entries; use Project setup on the web for project entries and team settings.
