Slash Commands

HivemindOS chat surfaces support two command families:

  • Dashboard shortcuts handled by the HivemindOS UI.
  • Hermes and gateway commands handled by the connected runtime.

Some commands are CLI-only or gateway-only. In the dashboard, unavailable commands may still appear as runtime help when the connected agent exposes them.

When a dashboard command and runtime command share the same name, the dashboard command handles it first in the HivemindOS chat surface. Use the runtime’s native CLI/TUI when you need the runtime-specific behavior for a colliding command such as /sessions or /usage.

/swarm-sim <scenario>   Launch a MiroShark simulation from the chat input and return the queued run status.
