TLDR and conversation controls
Find the essentials, ask an aside, and resume long tasks more easily.
Automatic TLDR
With an auxiliary model configured, long answers above the threshold can receive an automatic TLDR. The full answer is retained. You can also request a summary at a chosen level of detail.
/tldr concise
/tldr default
/tldr detailedTemporary side questions
Use /btw for an aside without writing it to the main conversation. Consecutive side questions can form a temporary chain; the next regular message discards that chain.
/btw What does prefix caching mean here?Retry, continue, and edit again
- /continue: continue generation.
- /retry: retry your last input.
- /undo: undo the last conversation turn and return your input to the editor. It does not roll back files or Git changes.
- /compact: compact the conversation context.
Files, skills, and images
Type @ to mention a file and $ to select a skill. Models with image support accept dragged or pasted images; Ctrl+V can insert an image from the clipboard. Image support depends on the model.
Interrupting
Press Ctrl+C during streaming to cancel the response, or press Esc twice. Press Ctrl+C twice to exit Crux. After an interruption, inspect any changes tools have already made before continuing.
