Slash commands

Type these in the prompt. /help lists everything that is currently registered, including commands added by plugins.

Command	Does
/help	list the available commands
/new	start a new chat (stops an answer that is still running; export first with /export_md)
/clear	same as /new
/export_md [file or folder]	save the chat as a Markdown file
/theme [name]	switch theme (no name lists the available themes)
/dev	toggle the AG-UI event inspector (d also works when the prompt is not focused)
/reasoning	show or hide the model's chain of thought
/demo [scene]	only with gentui --demo: play a scene (no name lists them)
/quit	exit

Other keys: Enter sends the message.

/export_md

Writes your messages, the agent's replies, its reasoning (when shown), tool calls with their results, and your approve / reject decisions, in the order they happened.

• With no argument the file is gentui-chat-<date>-<time>.md in the current folder.
• An argument ending in / (or an existing folder) saves into that folder; otherwise it is used as the file name.
• It never overwrites an existing file; it adds -1, -2, … instead.

Adding your own

Plugins can register commands with @register_command. See plugins.md.

Demo mode

gentui --demo needs no backend. It plays a scripted tour by itself: typing, approving a command, slash commands.

Run	Plays
gentui --demo	a menu to choose from
gentui --demo all	the whole movie
gentui --demo chat / approval / widgets / devtools	one scene
gentui --demo all --demo-speed 2	twice as fast

Inside the demo, /demo <scene> switches scene, and anything you type afterwards gets a canned reply.

Record and replay

gentui --record NAME saves the session, gentui --replay NAME plays it back. See replay.md.

gentui --prompts prompts.yml sends a YAML list of prompts for you (prompts), and gentui --compare a,b diffs recorded sessions side by side (compare).
