Commands overview

A reference for every slash command in Claurst, how the command system works, and where to find detailed documentation.

Claurst exposes its functionality through slash commands — short directives you type directly in the terminal prompt, prefixed with /.

CLI flags

The claude binary accepts these flags, sourced from crates/cli/src/main.rs:

Flag	Short	Default	Description
<PROMPT>		—	Initial prompt (enables headless/print mode)
--print	-p	false	Send prompt and exit without opening the TUI
--model	-m	claude-opus-4-6	Model to use for this session
--permission-mode		default	One of: default, accept-edits, bypass-permissions, plan
--resume		—	Resume a previous session by ID
--max-turns		10	Maximum number of agentic turns
--system-prompt	-s	—	Custom system prompt (replaces the built-in one)
--append-system-prompt		—	Text to append to the system prompt
--no-claude-md		false	Disable CLAUDE.md memory file loading
--output-format		text	One of: text, json, stream-json
--verbose	-v	false	Enable verbose logging
--api-key		—	API key (overrides ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
--max-tokens		32000	Maximum tokens per response
--cwd		—	Working directory to use
--dangerously-skip-permissions		false	Bypass all permission checks (danger!)
--mcp-config		—	Inline MCP server definitions as a JSON string
--no-auto-compact		false	Disable automatic context compaction

Headless example:

claude --print "What does this codebase do?" --output-format json

Resume a session:

claude --resume <session-id>

How slash commands work

Type / at any prompt to open the command palette. As you type, Claurst uses fuzzy matching to narrow the list — you don’t need to type the full name. For example, /comp matches /compact.

# Open the command palette
/

# Show the full list of commands and keyboard shortcuts
/help

Aliases are supported. /reset, /new, and /clear all do the same thing. Where a command has aliases they are listed in its documentation.

Commands are loaded lazily. The command registry only loads a command’s full implementation when you first invoke it, so startup time is not affected by the number of available commands.

Command types

Internally, every command is one of three types. You don’t need to think about this during normal use, but it explains why some commands open interactive panels while others return text immediately.

Type	Behavior
local	Runs synchronously and returns text or a compact result
local-jsx	Renders an interactive terminal UI component
prompt	Expands to a prompt sent to the AI model

Plugin-contributed commands

Plugins can register their own commands. When a command comes from a plugin, its source is shown next to the description in /help. Plugin commands follow the same prefix and fuzzy-match rules as built-in commands.

To install plugins and browse available community commands, use /plugin.
