Commands and shortcuts

Use slash commands and keyboard shortcuts to control a Vibe session without leaving the terminal.

Slash commands

Type / in the CLI prompt to open the slash-command picker. Autocomplete suggests matching commands as you type. The table below lists the built-in commands.

Tip

Skills can also expose themselves as slash commands. If you see a / command that isn't in this list, it likely comes from a local skill (check ~/.vibe/skills/ or your project's .vibe/skills/).

Keyboard shortcuts

Warning

Some shortcuts may not work in every combination of terminal emulator, SSH session, or terminal multiplexer (such as tmux). For the best experience, we recommend Ghostty, Kitty, WezTerm, or iTerm2.
