Slash commands
In the interactive terminal UI (lily with no arguments), type / to bring up the command menu. Slash commands control the session, your account, and how the agent works — everything you can't say to the agent in plain language.
Type /help at any time for the built-in list. This page is the full reference, grouped by what each command is for.
Session & conversation
| Command | What it does |
|---|
/help | Show help and keyboard shortcuts. |
/clear | Clear the conversation history. |
/compact | Compact the context — summarize the conversation to free up room. |
/rewind | Rewind the conversation to an earlier message. /rewind lists messages, /rewind N drops everything after message N, /rewind undo restores them. |
/context | Show the full session context snapshot. |
/transcript | Open the current session's transcript file. |
/export | Save this conversation to a file. |
/quit | Exit Lily. |
/rewind rewinds the conversation, not your files — it doesn't undo edits the agent already made on disk.
Sessions
| Command | What it does |
|---|
/resume | Open the session picker to reopen a past session. |
/rename | Rename the current session. |
/save | Bookmark the session for easy access. |
/unsave | Remove the bookmark. |
/fork | Fork the session into a new window (optionally with a prompt). |
Model & reasoning
| Command | What it does |
|---|
/model | List or switch Pathvela models. |
/reasoning (or /thinking) | Show or change how reasoning is displayed (off / full / current). |
/plan | Produce a plan-only response, rendered as a plan card. Add a goal: /plan <goal>. |
/plan is a one-shot — it gives you a plan for the current request; it isn't a persistent "planning mode" you switch in and out of.
Working in your project
| Command | What it does |
|---|
/diff | Cycle or set the diff display mode (off / inline / full / pinned / file). |
/git | Show git status for the working directory. |
/commit | Make logical commits from your current changes. |
/commit-push | Make commits, then push. |
/test | Verify a claim or your current changes with layered tests. |
/review | Launch a one-shot review of your changes. |
/fix | Recover when the model can't continue. |
/improve | Autonomously improve the repository. |
/refactor | Run a safe refactor loop. |
/todos | Show the session to-do list as a card in the chat. |
/btw | Ask a side question in the side panel without derailing the main task. |
/find | Search the transcript (also Ctrl+F). |
/focus | Toggle a quieter transcript view. |

|---|
