Slash commands Control a Flash conversation, prepare your project and manage configuration with commands.
Type / in a conversation to browse commands, or /help to list them. [ ] marks an optional argument and < > a value to fill in. Commands that open a control never run its operations on their own.
Command What it does /helpList the commands available here. /compactShorten what the model sees and continue the same task. /clearClear the conversation and start clean.
Command What it does /init [--force]Prepare the project: analysis, baseline build, connection profiles and the FLASH.md guide. --force rebuilds the analysis. /init --analyze-onlyRefresh the code analysis only, without changing FLASH.md. /platformShow the project’s target and framework. /systemShow your computer, toolchains and AI runtimes. /peripheralsOpen the component picker. Subcommands include add, add-mouser, manual, lookup, list, search, documents, attach, detach, resolve, remove and clear. /peripherals add-mouser <part number>Add a part by its manufacturer part number. Flash finds the part and fetches its datasheet. /peripherals manual <name> --file <path>Add a part with a datasheet you already have, as PDF or Markdown. /changesReview recent file changes. /buildOpen the build controls.
