Commands

A line that starts with / is a command. Anything else is sent to the assistant.

Command	Action
/help	show the command list
/init	analyse the project and write CC.md
/model [name]	show the current model, or switch to <name>
/clear	reset the conversation
/exit	quit (alias /quit)

Input box

The input box is visible at all times, including while the agent is working.

Key / input	Action
← / →	move cursor left / right
↑ / ↓	navigate input history
Home / End	jump to start / end of line
Delete	delete character at cursor
Backspace	delete character before cursor
Ctrl+C	cancel a running stream
Shift+Enter	insert a newline (multi-line input)
Enter	submit the line (queued if the agent is busy)
Esc	interrupt the running turn (no new message)
/btw <text>	interrupt the running turn; answer <text> next

Mid-turn input. A message submitted with Enter while the agent is working is queued and answered after the current turn finishes. Multiple messages queue in order. A line beginning with /btw <text> interrupts immediately and is answered next. Pressing Esc interrupts the current turn with no new message. In both interrupt cases, any partial work and tool results already produced are kept in the conversation history.

/init

/init asks the agent to inspect the repository — its layout, build process and conventions — and write a CC.md file. That file is then loaded as project context on every later run.

/model

/model with no argument prints the active model. /model <name> switches it; the new model takes effect on the next message.
