Slash commands
Type / in the composer and an autocomplete menu appears (like Slack) — each command on one line with a short hint. Arrow keys / Enter / Tab pick one; Esc closes it.
/cron 1h <prompt>— schedule a job that runs<prompt>every interval (N+m/h/d, e.g.5m,1h,1d). See Cron./loop 1h <prompt>— alias of/cron./compact [focus]— compress the conversation context now (optional focus keeps that topic in full)./context— show how full the context is./model <name>— switch the model./init— analyse the working folder and write anotrack_coder.jsonproject‑memory file./clear— start a new chat./help— list the commands.
Working effectively
- Set the working folder first so the agent reads and writes in the correct place.
- Use Plan mode for risky work — review the plan, then switch to Auto or Ask to execute (see Agent).
- Turn on Clean for a tidy read, off when you want to see exactly what the agent did.
- Route hard steps to a bigger model with the agent's
run_on_model— keep a fast local model for routine work and escalate only when needed. - Give the agent your context once and ask it to remember it (see Memory); it recalls the note in later chats.
- Raise Effort for genuinely hard reasoning; keep it Off for quick questions.
That's the tour. Everything here runs on your machine — your data stays local.
