Slash Commands

Slash commands are typed at the start of the chat box. A matching list opens as you type.

Command Reference

Command	Alias	Description	Example
/prompt	/p	Fill in a prompt template from the current persona	/prompt audit-directory
/workflow	/wf	Launch a chat workflow in the current session	/workflow morning-brief

Details

/prompt

Invoke a reusable prompt template defined on the active persona (or a specific persona). Prompt templates are Handlebars templates with optional parameters — they let you create repeatable, parameterized interactions.

/prompt audit-directory
/p audit-directory

When invoked, HiveMind OS looks up the template by ID on the current persona, renders any parameters (prompting you to fill them in if needed), and sends the result as your message.

TIP

Define prompt templates in your persona YAML under the prompts field. Each template has an id, name, template (Handlebars string), and optional input_schema for parameters. See the Prompt Templates Reference for full syntax details.

/workflow

List chat workflows and launch one in the current session.

/workflow
/wf morning-brief

Type /workflow or /wf, then part of the workflow name. Pick a row to open the launch dialog. The list only includes workflows that can run from chat. If none are available, the list stays hidden.

Other Capabilities

Most interactions with HiveMind OS happen through natural language conversation rather than slash commands. The agent has access to built-in tools for:

• Knowledge management — ask the agent to remember facts or query stored knowledge (tool: knowledge.query)
• File operations — read, write, search, and list files (tools: filesystem.read, filesystem.write, filesystem.search, filesystem.glob, etc.)
• Shell commands — execute commands in the terminal (tool: shell.execute)
• Web requests — fetch web pages and APIs (tool: http.request)
• Agent coordination — spawn, signal, and manage sub-agents (tools: core.spawn_agent, core.signal_agent, etc.)
• Workflows — launch and manage workflows (tools: workflow.launch, workflow.status)
• Scheduling — create scheduled tasks through conversation
• Communication — send messages through connected channels (tool: comm.send_external_message)

Simply describe what you need in plain language, and the agent will use the appropriate tools.
