Slash Commands

Type / in any agent chat input to open a command palette. Slash commands execute instantly — no LLM round-trip, no credits consumed — giving admins fast access to agent state, configuration, and session controls.

Using Slash Commands

Click the chat input and type /. A palette floats above the input showing all commands available for this agent and context. Continue typing to filter (e.g. /sta narrows to /status). Use arrow keys to navigate, Enter or Tab to select, Escape to dismiss.

Commands are backend-only by default — they appear in the wp-admin chat but not in frontend shortcodes or modal widgets unless you explicitly enable frontend access under Agent Builder → Tools → Slash Commands.

Session Commands

These commands run entirely in the browser — no server call is made.

Command	Description
/clear	Clear the conversation history and start a fresh session.
/help	List all available slash commands for this agent and context.
/history [count]	Show the last N turns of the current conversation (default: 10).
/export	Download the current conversation as a Markdown .md file.
/compact	Summarise and compress conversation history to save context space. Calls the server.
/debug	Toggle debug mode — show tool call names and arguments inline in responses.

Agent Commands

These commands call the server and return structured output without consuming LLM credits.

Command	Description
/status	Show agent model, plan, credits used today, and daily quota.
/credits	Show remaining Agentic AI credit balance with per-service breakdown.
/model	Show the LLM model and provider this agent is currently using.
/tools	List every tool this agent has access to and its enabled state.
/capabilities	Full capability stack: tools, skills, channels, and WordPress abilities.
/prompts	Show the suggested prompt buttons configured for this agent.
/agent <agent-id>	Switch to a different agent mid-conversation.
/task <task-id>	Trigger a named scheduled task for this agent on demand.

Admin Commands

These commands are restricted to the wp-admin backend and cannot be enabled on the frontend.

Command	Description
/audit	Show the last 10 tool calls from the audit log for this agent.
/deploy	Show the active deployment channels and surfaces for this agent.

Managing Slash Commands

Go to Agent Builder → Tools → Slash Commands to:

• Enable or disable any command globally.
• Set which contexts a command appears in: Backend (wp-admin) and/or Frontend (shortcodes, modal widget).
• Override settings per-agent — expand any agent row to toggle individual commands independently from the global setting.

Per-agent settings take precedence over global settings. Disabling a command for a specific agent hides it from that agent’s palette without affecting others.

Testing via WP-CLI

Server-side slash commands can be tested from the terminal without a browser using the wp agent slash-command subcommand.

List all commands

wp agent slash-command --list

Outputs a table of all 16 commands with their category, contexts, execution mode (client/server), and enabled state.

Run a command

wp agent slash-command status wordpress-assistant
wp agent slash-command tools seo-assistant
wp agent slash-command credits
wp agent slash-command audit wordpress-assistant
wp agent slash-command agent wordpress-assistant --args="seo-assistant"

Test frontend context

wp agent slash-command status wordpress-assistant --context=frontend

Commands disabled for the requested context will return a warning. Client-side commands (/clear, /help, /export, /debug, /history, /prompts) have no server logic and can only be verified in the browser.
