Provide in-app help for TUI slash commands
Product
Codex CLI / interactive TUI
Version
codex-cli 0.125.0
Problem
There is no discoverable single-step command to list all interactive TUI slash commands.
codex --help lists shell subcommands, but not the interactive slash commands. Inside the TUI, /help is unrecognized and tells the user to type /, which opens an interactive picker. That picker requires scrolling and is not easy to copy, export, or reference outside the TUI.
Reproduction
- Run
codex --no-alt-screen. - In the TUI, type
/helpand press Enter. - Observe:
Unrecognized command '/help'. Type "/" for a list of supported commands. - Type
/. - Observe: the slash command picker appears, but there is no single command that prints the full list.
Expected behavior
There should be a single-step way to view or copy all interactive TUI slash commands, for example /help, /commands, or codex commands, with descriptions.
Actual behavior
/help is unrecognized. / opens only an interactive picker.
Why this matters
Users can discover codex --help shell commands, but not all TUI-only slash commands such as /status, /fast, /feedback, /ps, /stop, /clear, and /personality.
