 The TUI has an extensible slash-command framework. Built-ins include `/help` (shortcut + command overlay), `/model` (models-only picker for connected accounts; **Alt+A** or `/connect` adds a provider), `/settings`, `/permissions`, `/plugins`, `/clear`, `/new`, `/compact` (fold conversation context now, optional trailing instructions to the summarizer; does not wait for the 60% occupancy governor; idle success shows the fold and does not start a new turn), `/mcp` (enable, disable, or remove servers), `/handoff [optional instructions]` (folds context through the shared operator pipeline, then immediately starts the next turn with the instructions as the inbound content — default copy when omitted; unlike `/compact`, which stops after the fold, handoff always re-infers, so the operator can pivot goals without `/clear`; a handoff issued mid-tool-batch queues behind the in-flight batch and whichever boundary fires first runs the single fold), and `/yolo` (`/yolo [on|off|toggle]`, bare `/yolo` toggles), plus a `/<name>` command per available workflow. `/yolo` persists skip-permissions to the active settings file. That file is the user-global `~/.corbits/settings.json` by default, making the setting machine-wide; explicit `--config <path>` selects a different active file, and `/yolo` writes that file. An ordinary TUI launch without the same `--config` returns to the user-global source and does not modify the custom file. `--dangerously-skip-permissions` and `--yolo` are process-only aliases. Secret-guard and authz still apply. When a session starts with its active persisted setting already on, the TUI and `corbits exec` warn that permission prompts are disabled by saved settings at the active settings path and direct the operator to edit that file to re-enable them. Plugins can register additional commands.
 
-**Default skills** exist out of the gate as first-party slash **actions**, not director names: `/implement`, `/plan`, `/refactor`, `/review`, `/pull-request`, `/issue`, `/docs`, `/interview`. Each one is a how-to playbook — the slash sends the skill body to the primary, which follows the steps. Skills do not assign identity or route the fleet; that stays on director system prompts. `/review` classifies the target first, then dispatches a selected fleet; `/pull-request` finds or opens the PR for the current branch, and `/review` takes a PR target and reviews it from a worktree; `/docs` is how to maintain PRODUCT / ARCHITECTURE / IMPLEMENTATION; `/implement` takes a plan and a ticket to a pushed branch (worktree, per-commit planner/build/reviewer loop, whole-branch review, push, hand off to `/pull-request`) — it does not steal planning from `/plan`. Substantial Builder work consumes a counsel / `/plan` plan first; tiny parent-DIY stays plan-optional. `/plan` authors an eng change plan (files, AC, non-goals, risks, ordered steps) and does not implement. `/issue` finds or creates the tracker issue: Linear MCP when available; otherwise it `ask_operator`s for the platform (GitHub etc.) and persists `Preferred issue tracker` in `.corbits/MEMORY.md` (GitHub via `gh issue create`). There is no first-party dispatch skill — Skywalker orchestrates natively. `style`, `philosophy`, and `typescript` stay `use_skill` only (`user-invocable: false`); `git-worktrees` is a background library that is not listed for `use_skill`.

 Providers are **models-first**: there is no standalone `/login` command. `/model` opens a **models-only list** (Recent, Favorites, then connected provider/model rows) — type-to-filter owns printable keys, so Connect is never a bare letter. **Alt+A** or `/connect` opens a dedicated add-provider selector over every first-class kind (OpenAI dual-path ChatGPT OAuth or API key, xAI, OpenCode Zen, Anthropic, Google, OpenCode Go, Z.AI Coding Plan, Ollama, Custom), each annotated with its live account count and never filtered out for “already connected.” **Alt+F** toggles favorite on the highlighted model. **Alt+D** persists the highlighted pair as the default without switching the live session. Advanced provider drill-down (edit/delete/tiers) stays on the advanced surface, not a bare printable key while the model list is filtering. OAuth providers open their existing browser login with a named account step so multiple accounts per kind coexist (`codex/work`, …). API-key providers use the same named-instance step before the key (auth-only form: instance name + key + fixed catalog base URL), so personal and team keys land as distinct catalog rows (`openai/default`, `anthropic/work`, …); reusing a name re-keys that instance after confirm. Custom remains a free-form single endpoint (full manual form). Successful connect refreshes the catalog and reopens the model list focused on the new account’s default model. OpenCode Go lists models from the live `/zen/go/v1/models` catalog (packaged seed on fetch failure), routes each by its protocol metadata (chat completions, OpenAI responses, or Anthropic messages) and can show subscription usage in the status bar when active (rolling 5h / weekly / monthly windows when the usage API responds; omitted on auth or network failure). When Go returns a quota or rate-limit error — including some HTTP 400 responses that carry limit payloads — Corbits classifies them so quota aborts cleanly and short provider rate limits remain retryable. On a free-tier or subscription quota hit, wait for the window to reset or use OpenCode Zen free models.

 - **Pragmatic over idealistic** - Don't propose changes for theoretical purity
 - **Simple is usually harder than easy** - Favor designs that are genuinely simple, not just quick
 - **Do no harm** - Consider risks to stability and correctness
