Slash commands

Slash commands let you control Codex without leaving the thread composer. Available commands vary based on your environment and access.

Use a slash command

  1. In the thread composer, type /.
  2. Select a command from the list, or keep typing to filter (for example, /status).

You can also explicitly invoke skills by typing $ in the thread composer. See Skills.

Enabled skills also appear in the slash command list.

Available slash commands

Slash command Description
/feedback Open the feedback dialog to submit feedback and optionally include logs.
/mcp Open MCP status to view connected servers.
/plan-mode Toggle plan mode for multi-step planning.
/review Start code review mode to review uncommitted changes or compare against a base branch.
/status Show the thread ID, context usage, and rate limits.

The Codex app registers the codex:// URL scheme so links can open specific parts of the app directly.

Deeplink Opens Supported query parameters
codex://settings Settings. None.
codex://skills Skills. None.
codex://automations Inbox in automation create mode. None.
codex://threads/<thread-id> A local thread. <thread-id> must be a UUID. None.
codex://new A new thread. Optional: prompt, originUrl, path.

For new-thread deeplinks:

  • prompt sets the initial composer text.
  • path must be an absolute path to a local directory and, when valid, makes that directory the active workspace for the new thread.
  • originUrl tries to match one of your current workspace roots by Git remote URL. If both path and originUrl are present, Codex resolves path first.
