Chat Slash Commands

Reference for interactive TUI slash commands and messaging daemon commands in XibeCode.

XibeCode has two slash-command surfaces:

Interactive TUI — xibecode chat / xc (this page, first half)
Messaging daemon — Telegram / Discord / Slack via xibecode daemon (second half + full daemon docs)

Interactive chat (TUI)

Autocomplete and input

Type / and a prefix: ↑/↓ cycles matching commands; Tab fills in the highlighted command.
Tab adds a trailing space after /model, /format, and /mode so you can type an argument immediately.
While the agent is running, your next line is queued (you see Queued message — will run next.) instead of interrupting; after the run finishes, that line is sent automatically.
During a run, Esc aborts the current turn (not the whole session).
Ctrl+C exits the chat app.

Status line

The footer shows model, format (auto | openai | anthropic), mode, and provider, plus idle vs working state (spinner and elapsed time when busy).

`/setup` — guided setup

Runs when you type /setup, or automatically on first launch if no API key is configured.

Flow

Provider preset (↑/↓, Enter, Esc cancels)
- Routing.run, zenllm.org, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Groq, DeepSeek, Google (Gemini), xAI (Grok), Moonshot (Kimi), Zhipu AI (z.ai), or Custom.
Base URL (Custom path, or skipped for presets)
API key — stored via ConfigManager
Fetch /models — OpenAI-style GET {baseUrl}/models
Pick a model — same apply path as /model

Item	What it does
Set Base URL (OpenAI format)	Prompts for URL
Set API key	Prompts for key
Pick model from `/models`	Requires base URL + key
Set provider	auto-detect, openai, anthropic, deepseek, openrouter, google, grok, kimi, zai, routingrun, zenllm, …
Set cost mode	`normal` or `economy`
Set economy model	Prompts for model id
Show config summary	apiKey, provider, model, costMode, baseUrl, requestFormat, sandbox/runtime
Close	Returns to chat

`/format`

No argument: prints current requestFormat and effective wire format.
/format auto | anthropic | openai — updates format and clears the cached model list.

`/model`

No argument: interactive picker, or /model <id> directly.
/model default restores the default model for the session/profile.

`/mode`

No argument: mode picker (agent, plan, review, …).
/mode <id> switches directly.

`/help`

Prints the shortcut list and notes vision: image paths or @path can attach pixels when the file exists.

`/memory`

/memory or /memory list — up to 10 project auto-memories (xc memory list for full list)
/memory dream — dream consolidation
/memory path — memory directory

Curated global MEMORY/USER is agent-driven (curated_memory tool); see Memory.

`/hooks`

/hooks or /hooks list — lifecycle hooks. Manage with xc hooks.

TUI command summary

Command	What it does
`/help`	Shortcuts + vision hint
`/mode`	Mode picker or `/mode <id>`
`/clear`	Transcript cleared divider (scrollback kept)
`/format`	Show or set wire format
`/model`	Model picker or `/model <id>`
`/setup`	Full setup wizard
`/config`	Quick config menu
`/memory`	`list` / `dream` / `path`
`/hooks`	`list`
`/cpull`	Pull sandbox workspace (`sandbox_full` only)
`/commit`	`git add` + commit
`/donate` / `/sponsor`	Opens donation site
`/exit`	Persist session, exit

`/cpull` (cloud TUI)

/cpull
/cpull --apply
/cpull --apply --full
/cpull --output .xibecode/sandbox-pull-manual
/cpull --apply --force

Only in cloud sandbox_full sessions. Without --apply, downloads to a timestamped folder. With --apply, merges new/changed files only; --apply --full overwrites like a full extract. See Cloud / E2B.

`/commit`

/commit
/commit fix: handle missing cloud session id

Runs git add ., then commits (auto message or provided message). No-op if nothing staged.

Plan mode questions

↑/↓ + Enter to choose; custom / type yourself for free text; Esc from custom returns to the list.

Messaging daemon (Telegram / Discord / Slack)

Full reference: Xibe Daemon. Summary:

Command	What it does
`/start` `/help`	Welcome / full help
`/new` `/reset` `/clear`	Clear conversation
`/stop`	Interrupt run + free chat immediately
`/status`	Workdir, busy, progress, sandbox id
`/queue` · `/queue <prompt>` · `/queue clear`	FIFO queue control
`/workdir [path]`	Project directory for this chat
`/progress on\|off`	Tool progress
`/level yolo\|default\|strict`	Approval / evidence rigor
`/model` `/models`	Model list / set (`--global` optional)
`/skills` `/skill <name>`	Skills catalog
`/cmd <command>`	Shell in workdir (no agent); aliases `/sh` `/shell`
`/update` · `/update yes` · `/update no`	CLI update (e2b: install + restart)
`/mode`	Runtime mode `default` \| `e2b`
`/sethome`	Cron delivery home
`/once` `/session` `/always` `/deny`	Approve/deny dangerous commands

Busy behavior (daemon)

Default steer: plain messages inject into the current run. Use /queue … for FIFO only, /stop to hard interrupt.

XIBECODE_BUSY_INPUT_MODE=steer|queue|interrupt
XIBECODE_CMD_TIMEOUT_MS=60000

Examples

/cmd ls -la
/cmd tail -n 40 ~/.xibecode/daemon/logs/daemon.log
/update yes
/queue run the unit tests after this finishes

Tips

Use /help anytime for the commands available on that surface (TUI vs Telegram menu).
Use /mode plan for design, then /mode agent to execute (TUI).
Use /cpull to bring sandbox work back without leaving cloud chat.
On Telegram, type / to open the bot command menu.
