Master slash commands
Slash commands give you keyboard access to almost every action in
ScaiWave. Type / in the composer; an autocomplete shows the
relevant commands.
Some commands are room-context-aware:
/titlein an AI room means "auto-title the conversation"; in a group room it sets the room name. The autocomplete tells you which is which.
The standard set#
Conversation control#

LLM-only commands#
These aren't typed by you — they're emitted by the AI in its reply, and the framework intercepts and executes them:
[/search <query>]— ask the AI to call the search plugin.[/note <title>]— ask the AI to save a note.[/todo <text>]— ask the AI to create a todo.
You'll occasionally see the AI write these inline in its reply if the tool-calling path isn't available; otherwise they're invisible.
Discovery#
