# Slash Commands Reference
refactor: centralize slash command registry (#1603) * refactor: centralize slash command registry Replace 7+ scattered command definition sites with a single CommandDef registry in hermes_cli/commands.py. All downstream consumers now derive from this registry: - CLI process_command() resolves aliases via resolve_command() - Gateway _known_commands uses GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS frozenset - Gateway help text generated by gateway_help_lines() - Telegram BotCommands generated by telegram_bot_commands() - Slack subcommand map generated by slack_subcommand_map() Adding a command or alias is now a one-line change to COMMAND_REGISTRY instead of touching 6+ files. Bugfixes included: - Telegram now registers /rollback, /background (were missing) - Slack now has /voice, /update, /reload-mcp (were missing) - Gateway duplicate 'reasoning' dispatch (dead code) removed - Gateway help text can no longer drift from CLI help Backwards-compatible: COMMANDS and COMMANDS_BY_CATEGORY dicts are rebuilt from the registry, so existing imports work unchanged. * docs: update developer docs for centralized command registry Update AGENTS.md with full 'Slash Command Registry' and 'Adding a Slash Command' sections covering CommandDef fields, registry helpers, and the one-line alias workflow. Also update: - CONTRIBUTING.md: commands.py description - website/docs/reference/slash-commands.md: reference central registry - docs/plans/centralize-command-registry.md: mark COMPLETED - plans/checkpoint-rollback.md: reference new pattern - hermes-agent-dev skill: architecture table * chore: remove stale plan docs

Hermes has two slash-command surfaces, both driven by a central `COMMAND_REGISTRY` in `hermes_cli/commands.py`:

fix: save /plan output in workspace (#1381)
2026-03-14 21:28:51 -07:00
Installed skills are also exposed as dynamic slash commands on both surfaces. That includes bundled skills like `/plan`, which opens plan mode and saves markdown plans under `.hermes/plans/` relative to the active workspace/backend working directory.

feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway (#3262) * feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway Add gateway_config_gate field to CommandDef, allowing cli_only commands to be conditionally available in the gateway based on a config value. - CommandDef gains gateway_config_gate: str | None — a config dotpath that, when truthy, overrides cli_only for gateway surfaces - /verbose uses gateway_config_gate='display.tool_progress_command' - Default is off (cli_only behavior preserved) - When enabled, /verbose cycles tool_progress mode (off/new/all/verbose) in the gateway, saving to config.yaml — same cycle as the CLI - Gateway helpers (help, telegram menus, slack mapping) dynamically check config to include/exclude config-gated commands - GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS always includes config-gated commands so the gateway recognizes them and can respond appropriately - Handles YAML 1.1 bool coercion (bare 'off' parses as False) - 8 new tests for the config gate mechanism + gateway handler * docs: document gateway_config_gate and /verbose messaging support - AGENTS.md: add gateway_config_gate to CommandDef fields - slash-commands.md: note /verbose can be enabled for messaging, update Notes - configuration.md: add tool_progress_command to display section + usage note - cli.md: cross-link to config docs for messaging enablement - messaging/index.md: show tool_progress_command in config snippet - plugins.md: add gateway_config_gate to register_command parameter table

## Notes
feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway (#3262) * feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway Add gateway_config_gate field to CommandDef, allowing cli_only commands to be conditionally available in the gateway based on a config value. - CommandDef gains gateway_config_gate: str | None — a config dotpath that, when truthy, overrides cli_only for gateway surfaces - /verbose uses gateway_config_gate='display.tool_progress_command' - Default is off (cli_only behavior preserved) - When enabled, /verbose cycles tool_progress mode (off/new/all/verbose) in the gateway, saving to config.yaml — same cycle as the CLI - Gateway helpers (help, telegram menus, slack mapping) dynamically check config to include/exclude config-gated commands - GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS always includes config-gated commands so the gateway recognizes them and can respond appropriately - Handles YAML 1.1 bool coercion (bare 'off' parses as False) - 8 new tests for the config gate mechanism + gateway handler * docs: document gateway_config_gate and /verbose messaging support - AGENTS.md: add gateway_config_gate to CommandDef fields - slash-commands.md: note /verbose can be enabled for messaging, update Notes - configuration.md: add tool_progress_command to display section + usage note - cli.md: cross-link to config docs for messaging enablement - messaging/index.md: show tool_progress_command in config snippet - plugins.md: add gateway_config_gate to register_command parameter table

- `/skin`, `/tools`, `/toolsets`, `/browser`, `/config`, `/prompt`, `/cron`, `/skills`, `/platforms`, `/paste`, `/statusbar`, and `/plugins` are **CLI-only** commands.
- `/verbose` is **CLI-only by default**, but can be enabled for messaging platforms by setting `display.tool_progress_command: true` in `config.yaml`. When enabled, it cycles the `display.tool_progress` mode and saves to config.
