 8|# Slash Commands Reference
 9|
10|Hermes has two slash-command surfaces, both driven by a central `COMMAND_REGISTRY` in `hermes_cli/commands.py`:
11|
12|- **Interactive CLI slash commands** — dispatched by `cli.py`, with autocomplete from the registry
13|- **Messaging slash commands** — dispatched by `gateway/run.py`, with help text and platform menus generated from the registry
14|
15|Installed skills are also exposed as dynamic slash commands on both surfaces. That includes bundled skills like `/plan`, which opens plan mode and saves markdown plans under `.hermes/plans/` relative to the active workspace/backend working directory.
16|
17|## Interactive CLI slash commands
18|
19|Type `/` in the CLI to open the autocomplete menu. Built-in commands are case-insensitive.

21|### Session
22|
23|| Command | Description |
24||---------|-------------|
25|| `/new` (alias: `/reset`) | Start a new session (fresh session ID + history) |
26|| `/clear` | Clear screen and start a new session |
27|| `/history` | Show conversation history |
28|| `/save` | Save the current conversation |
29|| `/retry` | Retry the last message (resend to agent) |
30|| `/undo` | Remove the last user/assistant exchange |
31|| `/title` | Set a title for the current session (usage: /title My Session Name) |
32|| `/compress [focus topic]` | Manually compress conversation context (flush memories + summarize). Optional focus topic narrows what the summary preserves. |
33|| `/rollback` | List or restore filesystem checkpoints (usage: /rollback [number]) |
34|| `/snapshot [create\|restore <id>\|prune]` (alias: `/snap`) | Create or restore state snapshots of Hermes config/state. `create [label]` saves a snapshot, `restore <id>` reverts to it, `prune [N]` removes old snapshots, or list all with no args. |
35|| `/stop` | Kill all running background processes |
36|| `/queue <prompt>` (alias: `/q`) | Queue a prompt for the next turn (doesn't interrupt the current agent response). |
37|| `/steer <prompt>` | Inject a mid-run note that arrives at the agent **after the next tool call** — no interrupt, no new user turn. The text is appended to the last tool result's content once the current tool completes, giving the agent new context without breaking the current tool-calling loop. Use this to nudge direction mid-task (e.g. "focus on the auth module" while the agent is running tests). |
38|| `/goal <text>` | Set a standing goal Hermes works toward across turns — our take on the Ralph loop. After each turn an auxiliary judge model decides whether the goal is done; if not, Hermes auto-continues. Subcommands: `/goal status`, `/goal pause`, `/goal resume`, `/goal clear`. Budget defaults to 20 turns (`goals.max_turns`); any real user message preempts the continuation loop, and state survives `/resume`. See [Persistent Goals](/docs/user-guide/features/goals) for the full walkthrough. |
39|| `/resume [name]` | Resume a previously-named session |
40|| `/redraw` | Force a full UI repaint (recovers from terminal drift after tmux resize, mouse selection artifacts, etc.) |
41|| `/status` | Show session info |
42|| `/agents` (alias: `/tasks`) | Show active agents and running tasks across the current session. |
43|| `/background <prompt>` (alias: `/bg`, `/btw`) | Run a prompt in a separate background session. The agent processes your prompt independently — your current session stays free for other work. Results appear as a panel when the task finishes. See [CLI Background Sessions](/docs/user-guide/cli#background-sessions). |
44|| `/branch [name]` (alias: `/fork`) | Branch the current session (explore a different path) |
45|
46|### Configuration
47|
48|| Command | Description |
49||---------|-------------|
50|| `/config` | Show current configuration |
51|| `/model [model-name]` | Show or change the current model. Supports: `/model claude-sonnet-4`, `/model provider:model` (switch providers), `/model custom:model` (custom endpoint), `/model custom:name:model` (named custom provider), `/model custom` (auto-detect from endpoint). Use `--global` to persist the change to config.yaml. **Note:** `/model` can only switch between already-configured providers. To add a new provider, exit the session and run `hermes model` from your terminal. |
52|| `/personality` | Set a predefined personality |
53|| `/verbose` | Cycle tool progress display: off → new → all → verbose. Can be [enabled for messaging](#notes) via config. |
54|| `/fast [normal\|fast\|status]` | Toggle fast mode — OpenAI Priority Processing / Anthropic Fast Mode. Options: `normal`, `fast`, `status`. |
55|| `/reasoning` | Manage reasoning effort and display (usage: /reasoning [level\|show\|hide]) |
56|| `/skin` | Show or change the display skin/theme |
57|| `/statusbar` (alias: `/sb`) | Toggle the context/model status bar on or off |
58|| `/voice [on\|off\|tts\|status]` | Toggle CLI voice mode and spoken playback. Recording uses `voice.record_key` (default: `Ctrl+B`). |
59|| `/yolo` | Toggle YOLO mode — skip all dangerous command approval prompts. |
60|| `/footer [on\|off\|status]` | Toggle the gateway runtime-metadata footer on final replies (shows model, tool counts, timing). |
61|| `/busy [queue\|steer\|interrupt\|status]` | CLI-only: control what pressing Enter does while Hermes is working — queue the new message, steer mid-turn, or interrupt immediately. |
62|| `/indicator [kaomoji\|emoji\|unicode\|ascii]` | CLI-only: pick the TUI busy-indicator style. |
63|
64|### Tools & Skills
65|
66|| Command | Description |
67||---------|-------------|
68|| `/tools [list\|disable\|enable] [name...]` | Manage tools: list available tools, or disable/enable specific tools for the current session. Disabling a tool removes it from the agent's toolset and triggers a session reset. |
69|| `/toolsets` | List available toolsets |
70|| `/browser [connect\|disconnect\|status]` | Manage local Chrome CDP connection. `connect` attaches browser tools to a running Chrome instance (default: `ws://localhost:9222`). `disconnect` detaches. `status` shows current connection. Auto-launches Chrome if no debugger is detected. |
71|| `/skills` | Search, install, inspect, or manage skills from online registries |
72|| `/cron` | Manage scheduled tasks (list, add/create, edit, pause, resume, run, remove) |
73|| `/curator` | Background skill maintenance — `status`, `run`, `pin`, `archive`. See [Curator](/docs/user-guide/features/curator). |
74|| `/kanban <action>` | Drive the multi-profile, multi-project collaboration board without leaving chat. Full `hermes kanban` surface is available: `/kanban list`, `/kanban show t_abc`, `/kanban create "title" --assignee X`, `/kanban comment t_abc "text"`, `/kanban unblock t_abc`, `/kanban dispatch`, etc. Multi-board support included: `/kanban boards list`, `/kanban boards create <slug>`, `/kanban boards switch <slug>`, `/kanban --board <slug> <action>`. See [Kanban slash command](/docs/user-guide/features/kanban#kanban-slash-command). |
75|| `/reload-mcp` (alias: `/reload_mcp`) | Reload MCP servers from config.yaml |
76|| `/reload` | Reload `.env` variables into the running session (picks up new API keys without restarting) |
77|| `/plugins` | List installed plugins and their status |
78|

81|| Command | Description |
82||---------|-------------|

86|| `/platforms` (alias: `/gateway`) | Show gateway/messaging platform status |
