3.2.5 Slash commands
Slash commands start with / in the AI Dock. They manage the current session, list skills, or temporarily switch models. They are not sent to the model and do not use tokens.
Command list
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
/help | Lists available slash commands and what they do |
/clear | Clears the current session’s reference context and restarts “empty” (history kept) |
/sessions | Lists past sessions; pick one to continue |
/skills | Lists skill IDs loaded in this session with short descriptions |
/model | Temporarily switches the model for this session only |
/reset | Resets Moss: clears context, reloads capabilities, re-probes devices |
Typical uses
/clear vs new chat
/clear drops reference context but keeps the session record—good for “new topic, same thread.” New chat is better for a fully new task. Pick what fits.
/skills to verify loading
If a skill seems absent (installed but unused), run /skills to see what is active.
Skills load on demand: only when your message matches a trigger keyword.
If wording and triggers disagree, adjust triggers in 3.11 Skill Workshop.
/model for a one-off stronger model
For heavy code generation, temporarily switch:
/model claude-sonnet-4-20250514
Takes effect immediately for this session only; does not change global defaults. New sessions revert to defaults.
/reset when Moss misbehaves
If Moss loops a failed step or drifts off-topic, /reset clears context, reloads tools, and re-probes the device—stronger than /clear.
