Slash Commands

What they are

Slash commands are predefined AI generation skills, each backed by a focused system prompt. They generate structured PM artifacts inside a note.

Available commands

Command	Output artifact	Default note colour
`/generate-prd`	Product Requirements Document (overview, goals, user stories)	Blue
`/generate-epic`	Epic with constituent stories and dependencies	Orange
`/generate-story`	User story with Given/When/Then acceptance criteria	Yellow
`/generate-decision`	ADR-style decision record	Purple
`/generate-feedback`	Feedback summary with themes	Blue
`/generate-dev-task`	Technical development task with implementation steps	Yellow
`/generate-qa-test`	QA test plan with scenarios and test cases	Green

How to use them

Open a note in the editor overlay.
In the AI prompt bar at the bottom, type the slash command, optionally with context:

/generate-prd based on the notes tagged Epic and the Feedback note

Hit Enter. The AI streams the generated artifact into the note.
The note's colour is automatically set to the command's defaultColor.

Autocomplete

Typing / in the prompt bar opens a command autocomplete dropdown. Use arrow keys to navigate and Tab or Enter to select.

Adding note context with hashtags

Reference other notes directly in your command:

/generate-story based on #User-Research-Themes and #Epic-Activation-Flow

The #Note-Title syntax resolves to the matching note by title (case-insensitive, hyphens → spaces) and injects its content into the prompt.

Skill architecture

Each slash command is backed by a SKILL.md file containing:

---
name: generate-prd
description: Generate a PRD with overview, goals, and user stories
defaultColor: blue
---
(Markdown system prompt body follows)

The Markdown body becomes the AI system prompt for that command. Skills are imported at build time via a webpack asset/source rule — no runtime file reads needed.

Adding a new command

Create lib/ai/skills/generate-{name}/SKILL.md with the YAML frontmatter above.
Add the command metadata to the SLASH_COMMANDS registry in lib/ai/commands.ts.
The new command will be available in autocomplete and via POST /api/canvas/note-ai/{name}.
Update this page with the new command and its output description.
