Slash Commands

Slash commands are shortcuts that trigger specialized AI workflows. Type / in the chat input to see available commands, then select one from the popup.

How Slash Commands Work

When you type / in the chat input, a popup appears listing all available commands. Use Arrow keys to navigate and Enter or Tab to select.

When you select a command, a styled pill (e.g., /skill) appears in the input along with a placeholder prompt. Replace the placeholder with your actual request and press Enter to send.

Available Commands

/invoke-guide

Ask questions about Invoke's features, shortcuts, settings, agent modes, and workflows.

Examples:

• /invoke-guide What keyboard shortcuts are available?
• /invoke-guide How do I set up MCP servers?
• /invoke-guide What's the difference between Agent and Plan mode?

/summary

Condense the current conversation into a compact summary card.

The summary includes key topics discussed, decisions made, code changes, and outstanding tasks. Useful when your conversation is getting long and approaching context limits.

How to use: Type /, select summary from the popup, and press Enter. No additional input needed.

/skill

Create a new reusable AI skill — a knowledge bundle with instructions, scripts, references, and assets.

How to use: Select /skill from the popup, then describe what the skill should do:

/skill Create a code review skill that checks for security vulnerabilities and follows OWASP guidelines
Scope: Project

The AI will create a skill folder with a SKILL.md file and any necessary scripts or references.

/agent

Create a new custom agent with its own system prompt and tool access.

How to use: Select /agent from the popup, then describe the agent:

/agent Create a documentation writer agent that generates clear API docs with examples. It should only read and write files, no terminal access.

The AI will create the agent in Settings → Agents with the appropriate configuration.

/subagent

Create a new subagent — a specialized agent that the main Agent can automatically delegate tasks to during execution.

How to use: Select /subagent from the popup, then describe what it should handle:

/subagent Create a test writer subagent that generates unit tests following the project's existing test patterns
Scope: Project

Unlike custom agents (which you switch to manually), subagents are called automatically by the main Agent when it determines a task needs specialized handling.

/api

Scan the current project for API endpoints and add them to the Invoke API view.

How to use: Select /api from the popup, optionally describe which APIs to scan for:

/api Scan all REST endpoints in the Express server

Or leave the placeholder empty to scan the entire project. The AI reads your code, identifies endpoints, and adds them to the API view (Cmd+8) organized under base URLs with methods, headers, and request chaining.

Tips

• Use the popup — Always select from the / popup. Typing /skill manually sends it as plain text to the default agent.
• Replace the placeholder — After selecting a command, a bracketed placeholder appears. Replace it with your specific request before sending.
• Scope field — For /skill and /subagent, you can specify Scope: Project (current project only) or Scope: Global (all projects).
• Iterate — You can use the same slash command multiple times in a conversation to create multiple skills, agents, or subagents.
