Chat commands
Everyday commands and the advanced /nookins command tree.
Documentation for Nookins 0.42.1-alpha.1 · Public alpha
These are commands typed into a Nookins conversation or owner console, not shell commands. The list is taken from the public command registry for 0.41.1-alpha.1. Conversation-scoped commands still require valid routing and their specific permissions; “owner” entries require the supported private owner context. /help shows everyday help, /calendar help and /sentinel help show capability-specific actions, and /nookins help DOMAIN explains an advanced domain.

Before using a command
/model validates exact provider/model IDs against the live catalog; unsupported reasoning effort can reject a change. /qr renders only on WhatsApp, with a 400-byte UTF-8 payload limit. /context dump is advanced owner-private diagnostics and can contain private prompt/context material; do not share its artifact publicly.
Task inspection is different from starting or cancelling a task. Settings, schedules and permission changes may require a reviewed proposal; typing a command does not bypass that review. A sender's role and quiet-hours policy are checked again before delivery. Read interaction rules and use the CLI reference for commands entered in a terminal.
