Slash commands
How to invoke skills from chat. Autocomplete, arguments, aliases, and the difference between / and @.
#The basics
Type either prefix at the start of an empty message and the autocomplete menu appears. Use the arrow keys to navigate, Enter (or Tab) to select, Esc to dismiss.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| / | built-in skills | Routes to skills shipped with PromptFloe — /roast, /seo-audit, /eli5, etc. Also matches augmenters like /seo and /pwa. |
| @ | custom skills | Routes to skills you authored in your workspace. Scoped to your team — every workspace has its own @-namespace. |
#Anatomy of a slash command
A skill invocation has three parts:
/<alias> [args...]
@<alias> [args...]- Prefix —
/for built-in,@for custom. - Alias — the skill's short name. Case-insensitive.
- Args — everything after the alias. Free-form text passed to the skill verbatim.
#Examples
/roast
/roast https://eximgth.com/
/seo-audit
/eli5 explain like I'm a marketer
/competitor-research find me three competitors to this app/seo
/seo brand: PromptFloe, target: small SaaS founders
/marketing add Google Analytics + HubSpot lead form
/a11y
/pwa name: PromptFloe Studio@brand-voice rewrite the hero

- Fuzzy match —
/cmprstill surfaces/competitor-research. Type any subset of the alias. - Sample args — each row shows the most common argument shape so you don't have to remember.
- 🛠 badge — augmenters are marked. If you see it, expect file changes.
- "See all agents" footer — opens the Skills hub in a new tab.
#Intent suggestion
You don't always have to know the exact skill name. As you type plain prose, an NL classifier watches for skill-like intents and surfaces a chip below the input — for example, typing "make this more accessible" suggests /a11y.
Click the chip to insert the suggested command, or just hit Enter to send your prose as-is. The classifier is conservative: it only fires when confidence is high enough to be useful.
#Cancelling a running skill
Skills stream their output. While one is running you'll see a spinner in the result card and a Skip button. Click it (or press Esc) to abort the in-flight run. For augmenters, this also rolls back any pending file writes that haven't been committed yet.
