/ to open Cotool’s slash command menu. Slash
commands are the fastest way to switch chat into a guided workflow without
leaving the composer.
What slash commands do
Cotool uses slash commands in two ways:- Guided workflows start a chat that is optimized for one job, such as creating an agent or ingesting a threat report into Hunt.
- In-place actions operate on the current conversation, such as compacting it so you can keep going with a shorter context window.

Tips
- Commands that require permissions can appear disabled until you have the right access.
/create-detectionis most useful after you have connected the destination platform you want to write into./create-agentcan read your existing agents. Name one as a starting point, for example “like our phishing triage agent, but for Slack reports”, and it drafts the new agent from that agent’s instructions and tools. It also tells you when an existing agent already does what you asked./hunt-intelworks with report URLs, pasted text, and chat attachments such as PDFs and Office documents./compactstays in the current chat instead of opening a new one.
