Your agent has gotten to work… and you can see it's heading the wrong way. No worries: you're in the driver's seat. These commands let you stop, correct and adjust on the fly.
/stop — the handbrake 🟡
Stops whatever it's doing right now. Handy if you gave it the wrong instruction or you can see it's getting tangled up.
/stopAfter hitting the brakes, ask it "what got done and what's still pending?" so you know where you'd left off.
/steer (or /tell) — adjust the wheel without stopping the car 🟡
You slip in a correction while it keeps working, without waiting for it to finish.
/steer Focus only on the PDF, leave the rest./queue — what it does if you message it mid-task 🟡
Decides how it handles messages that arrive while it's busy:
- steer: uses your message to guide it on the fly.
- followup: finishes the current task, then handles the new one.
- collect: gathers several messages and deals with them all at once (great in groups).
- interrupt: cuts off the current task and handles the latest one (for emergencies).
/tasks — what have you got on your plate? 🟢
Lists what it has running or in the background (an image, a long report…). Perfect for knowing whether something is still cooking.
The "more or less" dials
/think high🟡 — make it think harder (tough tasks)./think lowfor quick answers./fast🟡 — fast mode: prioritizes speed over depth./verbose off🟡 — controls how much technical detail it shows you. For day-to-day use, better off.
For something tough:/think high(or ask it to pick the mode). To get through something quickly:/fast.
