#Codex Slash Commands

Slash commands are quick controls inside Codex conversations.

#How To Use Them

Type a slash command in the prompt box or CLI TUI, then follow the arguments or interactive choices.

#Common Slash Commands

Common commands include:

• /status: show current state.
• /model: switch or inspect the current model.
• /approvals: change approval behavior.
• /review: start a code-review pass.
• /goal: work toward a longer-running objective.

#Mode Switching (Local ↔ Cloud)

Some surfaces let you switch between local and cloud execution. Choose based on whether the work needs your machine or can run remotely.

#Goal Mode And Context

Goal mode is useful for longer work that may require several rounds. Give a concrete objective and let Codex continue until the goal is complete or genuinely blocked.

#Slash Commands vs $ Skills vs @ Mentions

• Slash commands control the current Codex session.
• $ Skills invoke specialized workflows.
• @ mentions bring in files, connectors, or context sources.
