中文 | English

Summary

This source describes the interactive control surface inside the Codex CLI: slash commands are the mid-session levers for changing models, permissions, planning mode, thread state, review views, and diagnostic output without leaving the terminal.

Key Contributions

• Collects the built-in interactive commands into one reference layer.
• Makes session-state changes explicit: model choice, Fast mode, personality, planning, approvals, and config diagnostics can all be changed mid-run.
• Treats /compact, /diff, /review, /status, and /debug-config as operational tools for keeping long sessions understandable and verifiable.

Strongest Claims

• Interactive control is part of the Codex operating model, not just a UX convenience.
• Context compaction, diff review, and thread management need first-class commands because they are recurring session-maintenance actions.
• The safest way to change permissions in an active session is through a deliberate, inspectable control path.
