Slash commands

Slash commands run inside the TUI before a message is sent to the model.

Common commands:

/model chooses from configured model choices.
/model all [search] browses OpenRouter models and adds one to choices.
/connect connects a model provider.
/effort shows the current reasoning effort and accepted values.
/effort <none|minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh> sets reasoning effort for the active model provider.
/effort clear or /effort default removes the configured effort so provider defaults apply.
/reasoning is an alias for /effort.
/new clears the terminal and starts a fresh project-local session.
/fork clones the current session into a new project-local session and switches to it.
/queue <prompt> queues a follow-up prompt, or starts it immediately when idle.
/q <prompt> is a short alias for /queue.
/steer <prompt> sends best-effort guidance to the active turn, falling back to a queued follow-up if it is not consumed.
/skills opens the Skills overlay.
/skills list prints available skills.
/skills inspect <name> shows one SKILL.md.
/skill <name> [instruction] activates a skill.
/kb status shows files that are not current in the knowledge base.
/kb sync processes non-clean files into L1 knowledge entries.
/kb sync --full processes all in-scope project files.
/kb init creates Topchester project knowledge folders.
/kb reset deletes the local knowledge base and cache.

none is an explicit reasoning effort value. Use clear or default when you want to remove the config field instead.

Type /effort or /reasoning with a trailing space to list all accepted effort values in the suggestion panel. Continue typing to narrow the list, then press Tab to complete the selected value.

/model, /connect, /effort, /reasoning, /new, /fork, /restore, /queue, /q, and /steer are TUI-only. In topchester run, Topchester prints a short message that says to use the interactive TUI.
