Slash Commands
Slash commands are available inside the Feynman REPL. They map to research workflows, project management tools, and setup utilities. Type /help inside the REPL for the live command list, which may include additional commands from installed Pi packages.
Research workflows
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/deepresearch <topic> | Run a thorough, source-heavy investigation and produce a research brief with inline citations |
/lit <topic> | Run a structured literature review with consensus, disagreements, and open questions |
/review <artifact> | Simulate a peer review with severity-graded feedback and inline annotations |
/audit <item> | Compare a paper’s claims against its public codebase for mismatches and reproducibility risks |
/replicate <paper> | Plan or execute a replication workflow for a paper, claim, or benchmark |
/recipe <task-or-paper> | Find ranked, implementable ML training recipes backed by papers, datasets, docs, and code |
/compare <topic> | Compare multiple sources and produce an agreement/disagreement matrix |
/draft <topic> | Generate a paper-style draft from research findings |
/autoresearch <idea> | Start an autonomous experiment loop that iteratively optimizes toward a goal |
/watch <topic> | Set up recurring research monitoring on a topic |
These are the primary commands you will use day-to-day. Each workflow dispatches one or more specialized agents (researcher, reviewer, writer, verifier) depending on the task. ML recipe and replication runs can inspect Hugging Face dataset metadata, repo files, and small Hub files when grounding implementation plans.
Project and session
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/log | Write a durable session log with completed work, findings, open questions, and next steps |
/jobs | Inspect active background work: running processes, scheduled follow-ups, and active watches |
/help | Show grouped Feynman commands and prefill the editor with a selected command |
/feynman-model | Open the model picker for the main default model and per-subagent overrides |
/init | Bootstrap AGENTS.md and session-log folders for a new research project |
/outputs | Browse all research artifacts (papers, outputs, experiments, notes) |
/search | Search prior session transcripts for past research and findings |
/preview | Preview the current artifact as rendered HTML or PDF |
Session management commands help you organize ongoing work. The /log command is particularly useful at the end of a research session to capture what was accomplished and what remains.
The /feynman-model command opens an interactive picker that lets you either change the main default model or assign a different model to a bundled subagent like researcher, reviewer, writer, or verifier.
Running workflows from the CLI
All research workflow slash commands can also be run directly from the command line:
feynman deepresearch "topic"
feynman lit "topic"
feynman review artifact.md
feynman audit 2401.12345
feynman replicate "claim"
feynman recipe "fine-tune a small model for math reasoning"
feynman compare "topic"
feynman draft "topic"This is equivalent to launching the REPL and typing the slash command. The CLI form is useful for scripting and automation.
See ML Training Recipe for the /recipe workflow and Hugging Face Hub for the dataset and repo inspection tools used by recipe and replication runs.
