Command Details¶
/help¶
Displays a list of all available commands with brief descriptions. Aliases: /h, /?.
/init¶
Generates an AGENTS.md file tailored to the current codebase. This file provides context about the project structure, conventions, and key files to help the AI understand the project better.
/resume¶
Opens an interactive session picker (in TUI mode) or lists sessions for selection (in stdin mode). Use this to continue a previous conversation. Alias: /r.
/sessions¶
Lists all saved sessions with their IDs, models, and timestamps. Alias: /s.
/compact¶
Forces conversation compaction. This summarizes older messages to reduce context window usage. Normally, compaction triggers automatically when the conversation exceeds approximately 80,000 tokens or 40 messages. Use this command to trigger it manually.
/clear¶
Clears the terminal screen. The conversation history is preserved; only the display is cleared.
/copy¶
Copies the last assistant response to the system clipboard. Alias: /c.
/model¶
Displays the currently active model name and provider. Alias: /m.
/rename¶
Renames the current session. Prompts for a new name in TUI mode.
/quit¶
Exits Rusty. The current session is saved automatically before exiting. Aliases: /exit, /q.

In TUI mode, slash commands support tab completion. Type / and press Tab to cycle through available commands. Partial commands can also be completed:
