Slash Commands

Use Slash Commands in Agent Mode or Auto-Detection Mode to quickly run built-in actions or saved prompts without leaving the input field.

When using Agent Mode or Auto-Detection Mode, typing / in the input field opens the Slash Commands menu.

As you type, the menu filters results in real time, making it easy to find and run the command or prompt you need.

Static Slash Commands

Warp currently supports the following built-in Slash Commands:

Slash Command	Description
/add-mcp	Add a new MCP server.
/add-prompt	Add a new Agent Prompt in Warp Drive.
/add-rule	Add a new Global Rule for the Agent.
/compact	Free up context by summarizing convo history.
/create-environment	Create a Warp Environment (Docker image + repos) via guided setup. *
/create-new-project	Have the agent walk you through creating a new coding project. *
/diff-view	Open the diff view pane.
/fork	Forks the current conversation into a new thread with the full context and history of the original. You can optionally include a prompt that will be sent immediately in the forked conversation.
/fork-and-compact	Forks the current conversation and automatically compacts the forked version. Useful when you want a fresh, summarized starting point that preserves relevant context while trimming the rest.
/index	Index the current codebase using Codebase Context.
/init	Index the current codebase and generate an AGENTS.md file. *
/new-conversation	Start a new agent conversation.
/plan	Prompt the agent to do some research and create a plan for a task.
/open-project-rules	Open the Project Rules file (AGENTS.md).
/view-mcp	View the status of your MCP servers.

Slash commands marked with a * consume AI credits to complete the task.

Using Prompts via Slash Commands

In addition to static commands, the menu also shows Agent Prompts saved in your Warp Drive.

• These prompts can be custom ones you’ve created or ones shared with you.

• As you type after /, prompts are filtered dynamically, so you can quickly run them without leaving the input field.

Tips

• Context-aware: Many Slash Commands use your current working directory or file selection as context.

• Quick access: Use / from anywhere in Agent Mode or Auto-Detection Mode to avoid navigating through menus.

Example of using a Slash Command

Below is an example interaction when /init is ran:
