Inside the Flowly TUI, type / to run a command instead of sending a message to the agent. Type ? in an empty composer for a quick cheat sheet, or open the full help modal with /help (or F1).
Session
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/clear or /new | Reset the conversation (gateway-side, asks confirmation). /clear --yes skips the prompt. |
/retry | Re-submit the last user message (drops the stale assistant reply). |
/undo | Pop the last user + assistant turn; pre-fills the composer for edit-and-resubmit. |
/compact [hint] | Summarize history to save tokens. |
/sessions | Switch to a saved session. |
/status | Show the current model + session. |
/abort | Cancel the current turn. |
/quit | Exit. |
Model & persona
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/provider | Pick the LLM provider (arrow-key picker). /provider <key> switches directly; /provider off clears. |
/model | Pick a model from the active provider's catalog (live for OpenRouter). |
/assistants (/persona) | Pick a persona / assistant. |
/theme | Switch the TUI theme. /theme mono switches directly. |
Tools & integrations
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/integrations | Connect external services β Home Assistant, Linear, Trello, Google Workspace. |
/channels | Configure messaging channels β Telegram, Slack, Discord, Email, iOS/Web. |
/mcp | Manage MCP servers β enable / disable / remove, install from the catalog. |
/plugins | List installed plugins (bundled + user) and toggle them. |
/browser | Toggle the browser_tab tool; shows the Chrome extension link + live status. |
/computer | Explains that computer use (desktop control) needs the Flowly Desktop app β the terminal can't hold the required macOS permissions. |
/image <path> | Attach an image to the next message. /image clear removes pending images. |
/video <path> | Attach a video for analysis via video_analyze. |
/paste | Attach an image from the system clipboard. |
/skills [filter] | Search and manage skills the loader knows about (read-only; optional substring filter). Works in the CLI + gateway. |
/learn [--dry-run] [source] | Create or update a reusable skill from paths, URLs, notes, or the current conversation. |
/codex [on|off|sandbox|cwd|tools] | Manage the opt-in Codex runtime live (no restart). |
/<skill-name> | Invoke an installed skill for one turn (e.g. /research). |
/learn
Create or update a reusable skill from source material you provide:
/learn [source]
/learn --dry-run [source][source] can be a local path, directory, URL, pasted notes, or a phrase such as
"what we just did". With no source, Flowly uses the current conversation as the
material to distill.
Examples:
/learn the release checklist workflow from this conversation
/learn ~/work/internal-sdk/docs/auth.md
/learn https://example.com/api-guide and these notes: ...
/learn --dry-run ./runbooks/customer-escalation.mdNormal mode saves the skill through skill_manage: it lists existing
agent-authored skills to avoid obvious duplicates, creates or updates the skill,
writes supporting files when needed, and verifies the result. New or updated
skills appear in the TUI slash palette automatically after a successful
skill_manage or skill_improve write in the active session.
Dry run mode previews the same plan without writing. It may inspect sources and
list existing skills, but it must not call persistent skill_manage actions
such as create, patch, edit, write_file, or delete. The reply includes
the proposed skill name, create/update decision, full SKILL.md draft,
supporting file drafts, verification check, and the command to run when you want
to apply it.
Short alias: -n is accepted as a dry-run flag.
Permissions & activity
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/permissions (/policy) | Edit command permissions (security / ask / allowlist). |
/memory (/review) | Review the bot's pending memory candidates inline β keep / discard them one at a time. Pops automatically on open when the review queue is non-empty; Esc dismisses it until you re-enter the TUI. |

/activity | Open the activity / audit log (or F2). |
/artifacts | Open the artifacts gallery (or F4). |
