Slash Commands

Slash Commands are quick actions and saved prompts you can invoke by typing / in Agent Mode or Auto-Detection Mode. They provide instant access to built-in actions like starting conversations, creating environments, switching models, opening static flows, and running saved prompts from Warp Drive.

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.

/compact	Free up context by summarizing conversation history.
/compact-and	Compact the current conversation and then send a follow-up prompt.
/continue-locally	Fork the current cloud agent conversation into a local Warp session. See Handoff between local and cloud agents. Available while a cloud agent conversation is active.

Caution

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

Using Agent 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 run:
