Slash Commands

Slash commands let you control your PizzaPi session directly from the chat input. Type / to open the command picker, then select or type a command.

Using the command picker

Opening the picker

Type / at the beginning of the chat input. A popover appears listing all available commands, grouped into sections:

• Commands — built-in session and UI commands
• Extensions — commands registered by Claude Code plugins
• Prompts — prompt template shortcuts
• Skills — skill-based commands from your configuration

The list filters as you type. For example, typing /mo narrows the list to /model.

Keyboard navigation

Key	Action
↑ / ↓	Move highlight through the list
Enter	Select the highlighted command
Escape	Close the picker

On touch devices, tap a command to select it.

Sub-command mode

Some commands (like /mcp) have sub-commands. When you select one of these, the picker stays open and shows the available sub-options. For example, selecting /mcp then shows status, reload, disable, and enable.

If a sub-command requires an argument (like /mcp disable), selecting it fills the input with the command prefix and positions your cursor to type the argument.

Built-in commands

Session management

Command	Description
/new	Start a new conversation. If linked child sessions are still active, a confirmation dialog appears first.
/resume [query]	Resume a previous session. Opens a session picker showing recent sessions with name, date, and path. Type to fuzzy-search by session name, ID, path, or first message.
/stop	Abort the current generation.
/restart	Restart the underlying CLI process.

Tip

/resume keeps the picker open so you can browse and filter sessions interactively. Select a session with Enter or click/tap it.

Model and reasoning

Command	Description
/model	Open the model selector dialog.
/cycle_model	Same as /model — opens the model selector.
/effort	Cycle through reasoning effort levels (low → medium → high).
/cycle_effort	Same as /effort.

Context and planning

Command	Description
/compact [instructions]	Compact the conversation context. Optionally pass custom instructions to guide summarization, e.g. /compact focus on the auth module.
/plan	Toggle plan mode. In plan mode, the agent explores and plans without making changes (read-only).

Session display

Command	Description
/name <name>	Set a display name for the current session, e.g. /name auth-refactor.
/copy	Copy the last assistant message to your clipboard.

Introspection

Command	Description
/plugins	List all loaded Claude Code plugins, including their commands, hooks, skills, agents, and MCP servers.
/skills	List all available skills from your configuration and plugins.
/sandbox	Show the current sandbox status — mode (none/basic/full), platform, and recent violations.

MCP server management

The /mcp command manages Model Context Protocol servers. Type /mcp (with a space) to see sub-commands:

Sub-command	Description
/mcp status	Show the status of all configured MCP servers.
/mcp reload	Reload MCP server configurations.
/mcp disable <name>	Disable a specific MCP server by name.
/mcp enable <name>	Re-enable a previously disabled MCP server.

Note

/mcp disable and /mcp enable require a server name argument. The picker fills in the command prefix — just type the server name and press Enter.

Agent sessions

Command	Description
/agents [name]	Start a new session as a named agent. Without an argument, opens a picker showing all available agent definitions. With a name, spawns directly, e.g. /agents reviewer.

The agent picker shows each agent’s name and description. Select one to start a new session with that agent’s system prompt.

Dynamic commands

In addition to the built-in commands above, three types of commands appear dynamically based on your configuration:

Skill commands

Skills defined in your ~/.pizzapi/skills/ directory (or registered by plugins) appear in the Skills group. They are prefixed with skill: internally but shown by their short name in the picker. Running a skill command sends its content to the agent.

Extension (plugin) commands

Claude Code plugins can register custom commands. These appear in the Extensions group. Each shows the command name and description provided by the plugin.

Prompt template commands

Prompt templates from your configuration appear in the Prompts group. Selecting one inserts the template content into the conversation.

/name deploy-fix              # Name the current session
/mcp status                   # Check MCP server health
/mcp disable filesystem       # Disable the "filesystem" MCP server
/agents reviewer              # Start a session as the "reviewer" agent
/effort                       # Cycle to the next reasoning effort level
/plan                         # Toggle read-only plan mode
/copy                         # Copy last response to clipboard
