Slash commands
Quick reference for in-chat slash commands in Mind CLI
Overview
Slash commands are special commands you can use within an interactive chat session to quickly perform actions without leaving the conversation. They start with a forward slash (/) and provide shortcuts for common tasks.
Using slash commands
Slash commands are available in interactive chat mode:
Available commands
/help
Switch to the Help Agent to ask questions about Mind CLI features.
/quit
Exit the interactive chat session. Aliases: /exit, /q.
/clear
Clear the current conversation display history.
/context
Manage context files and view token usage: /context show, /context add "pattern", /context remove <path>, /context clear.
Rules live in .mind/context.json, so they travel with the project. Matched files are re-read at the start of every turn, and capped at roughly 30,000 estimated tokens — past that, whole files are left out rather than truncated, and /context names them.
/model
Select an AI model or set default: /model set-current-as-default.
/agent
Manage agents: /agent list, /agent create <name>, /agent swap <name>.
/effort
Set reasoning effort level (low, medium, high, xhigh, max).
/rewind
Fork conversation at an earlier turn to explore a different path.
/spawn
Run a parallel agent session with an isolated task.
/tools
View and reset permissions: /tools reset clears all runtime permissions.
/mcp
View MCP servers and registry status.
/theme
Switch the colour palette — dark, light, safe, or system. Applies on restart.
