Codex's commands in Moontors

Works in Moontors

A Moontors view

  • /apps: The configuration view lists Codex’s apps while the session’s agent runs, as only Codex lists them, switched through Moontors’ overlay. Moontors couldn’t test it, as no account it records with has it.
  • /debug-config: /status shows Codex’s config layer stack, lowest precedence first, each layer enabled or disabled with its reason, and says when your organization’s requirements apply.
  • /diff: Moontors’ /diff shows this session’s changes.
  • /experimental: The configuration view lists Codex’s experimental features while the session’s agent runs, as only Codex lists them, switched through Moontors’ overlay.
  • /hooks: Moontors’ /hooks shows the hooks and switches them.
  • /mcp: Moontors’ /mcp shows the MCP servers and switches them, and /mcp login starts that server’s sign-in.
  • /memories: The configuration view shows whether Codex uses and makes memories, switched through Moontors’ overlay.
  • /plugins: Moontors’ /plugins shows the plugins and switches them.
  • /ps: The background tasks strip lists Codex’s background terminals and stops each one; it rests on Codex’s experimental API at the pin.
  • /pwd: /status shows the session’s folder. Also /cwd.
  • /skills: Moontors’ /skills shows the skills and switches them.
  • /status: Moontors’ /status shows the session’s agent, account, context and usage.
  • /usage: /status shows the usage and its limits.
  • /warnings: /status lists the warnings Codex sent during the session.

A setting

  • /daybreak: Kept on the session and applied at launch, offered once your own Codex turns cli_daybreak on and the account’s models offer Daybreak. It needs an eligible ChatGPT account, or an API key with Daybreak support. Moontors couldn’t test it, as no account it records with has it.

An action

  • /approve: Moontors lists the commands auto-review denied, and approves one retry of the one you pick; proven by Codex’s schema, not a recording.
  • /archive: Moontors’ archive also archives Codex’s thread.
  • /btw: Moontors’ /btw asks a side question that leaves the conversation as it is.
  • /cd: Moves the session to another folder, resuming Codex’s thread there; refused, with the reason, where it can’t be.
  • /clear: Moontors’ /clear starts a new conversation.
  • /compact: Moontors’ /compact summarizes the conversation to free up context.
  • /delete: Moontors’ delete also deletes Codex’s thread, and its subagents’ threads.
  • /export: Moontors’ /export saves the transcript as a Markdown file.
  • /goal: Moontors sets, shows, pauses or clears the session’s goal in Codex.
  • /init: Moontors’ /init writes the AGENTS.md file, in Codex’s own words.
  • /logout: Moontors’ /logout signs out of Codex.
  • /new: Moontors’ /clear starts a new conversation.
  • /recap: Moontors asks Codex for a short catch-up and the next step, as its own /recap does, without a turn in the conversation.
  • /rename: Moontors’ /rename renames the session.
  • /review: Moontors’ /review reviews this session’s changes.
  • /setup-default-sandbox: In the list on Windows only. Moontors runs Codex’s elevated sandbox setup, which Windows asks an administrator to allow once, then restarts this session’s agent to use it, keeping its conversation; other Codex sessions use it from their next start, unless your own Codex config picks another. The permission mode stays as it is. Codex’s own terminal offers it only while its sandbox runs degraded; Moontors lists it on any Windows. Tried on Windows 11.
  • /side: Moontors’ /btw asks a side question that leaves the conversation as it is.
  • /stop: Moontors’ /tasks goes to the background tasks strip, where each task’s Stop stops it; it rests on Codex’s experimental API at the pin. Also /clean.
  • /feedback: Opens Codex’s issue form in the browser.

Depends on your account

These work only where your account, Codex’s features or your settings turn them on; what decides each is named with it. Moontors shows each as your session has it.

  • /apps: The apps feature, signed in with ChatGPT.
  • /daybreak: The cli_daybreak feature, off by default, for an eligible account.
  • /goal: The goals feature, on by default.
  • /plugins: The plugins feature.
  • /usage: Signed in with ChatGPT.

Not in Moontors

Only in the terminal

They need Codex’s own terminal, which Moontors doesn’t show.

  • /copy: Copy the last response, or part of it. Select text in the transcript to copy it.
  • /exit: Exit Codex. A session runs until you archive it.
  • /ide: Add the current selection, open files and other context from your IDE. Moontors has no IDE connection; type @ in the composer to name a file.
  • /keymap: Remap the terminal’s shortcuts. It changes Codex’s terminal, which Moontors doesn’t show.
  • /pets: Choose or hide the terminal pet. It changes Codex’s terminal, which Moontors doesn’t show. Also /pet.
  • /quit: Exit Codex. A session runs until you archive it.
  • /raw: Turn raw scrollback on or off, for selecting text in the terminal. Select text in the transcript to copy it.
  • /statusline: Choose what the status line shows. It changes Codex’s terminal, which Moontors doesn’t show.
  • /theme: Choose a syntax highlighting theme. It changes Codex’s terminal, which Moontors doesn’t show.
  • /title: Choose what the terminal’s title shows. It changes Codex’s terminal, which Moontors doesn’t show.
  • /tui: Choose the terminal’s look for the next launch. It changes Codex’s terminal, which Moontors doesn’t show.
  • /vim: Turn Vim mode on or off in the composer. It changes Codex’s terminal, which Moontors doesn’t show.

Handed off elsewhere

They hand the session to another app or to Codex’s cloud.

  • /app: Continue this session in the Codex desktop app. The session runs in Moontors, which doesn’t hand it to another app.

Voice

They take your voice, which Moontors doesn’t listen to.

  • /voice: Start or stop voice input, or choose a voice. Moontors doesn’t take voice input.

Moontors has its own way

Moontors does the same from its own screens, named with each.

  • /agents: Open the agent command center. The transcript shows each subagent’s thread under the call that started it.
  • /daemon: Manage Codex’s local background server. Moontors runs Codex’s server for each session itself.
  • /fork: Fork the conversation. The session’s Fork button forks it into a new session.
  • /mention: Mention a file. Type @ in the composer to name a file.
  • /model: Choose the model and its reasoning effort. The model picker beside the composer sets the model and effort.
  • /permissions: Choose what Codex may do without asking. The permission mode picker beside the composer sets what the agent may do.
  • /plan: Switch to Plan mode. The permission mode picker beside the composer switches to Plan.
  • /resume: Resume a saved chat. Each session on the board keeps its conversation; open it to go on.
  • /subagents: Switch between this session’s subagents. The transcript shows each subagent’s thread under the call that started it.
  • /worktree: Start or continue a conversation in a new worktree. Create Session can run a new session in a worktree of its own.

Changes the vendor’s settings

They write Codex’s settings, which you change in Codex itself.

  • /import: Import setup, this project and recent chats from Claude Code. Moontors keeps its own copy of Codex’s config for its sessions, where an import wouldn’t last.

Never offered

No account can have these: they’re off in Codex’s released builds, internal to it, or only in its development builds.

  • /debug-m-drop: Drop memories, for debugging. It’s an internal command, marked not for use.
  • /debug-m-update: Update memories, for debugging. It’s an internal command, marked not for use.
  • /rollout: Print the path of the session’s rollout file. Codex’s released builds don’t have it.
  • /test-approval: Test an approval request. Codex’s released builds don’t have it.

Moontors’ own commands

Moontors runs these itself with Codex, which has no command of the name: /rewind, /memory, /add-dir, /context, /tasks, /subtask, /help. What each does is in Moontors’ conversation commands guide.

Not with Codex, as it can’t do them:

  • /autocompact, which Claude Code has
  • /branch, which Claude Code has
  • /commands, which Gemini CLI has
  • /fast, which Claude Code has
  • /output-style, which Claude Code has
  • /policies, which Gemini CLI has
  • /reload, which Claude Code has
  • /sandbox, which Claude Code has
  • /security-review, which Claude Code has
  • /settings, which Gemini CLI has
  • /tools, which Gemini CLI has

Not supported yet

A command Codex reports that this page doesn’t know yet, as a newer release brings, shows in the / list as “not supported yet” and can’t be run until a Moontors update adds it.
