Slash commands
Type
/ to see available commands with autocomplete. Installed skills may add their own commands to the same menu.
Keyboard shortcuts
When the reasoning selector is open, use the arrow keys or
J/K to move, Enter to apply the selection, and Esc to close it without applying the pending change.
Menus use the arrow keys to move, Enter to choose, and Esc to close. The models settings menu also uses Tab and Shift+Tab to move between models, catalog, and hardware.
Input editing
Files and input
Type@ in the composer to mention a file or directory. Mentioned files are included as context for the agent.
You can paste or drag images into the composer. Large text pastes are collapsed into paste segments instead of filling the input.
Enter bash mode with /bash or start a message with ! to run a shell command directly.
Sessions
Magnitude saves conversations automatically. Use/resume or Ctrl+R to open recent conversations, or start a new one with /new.
When a conversation becomes too long for its model context, Magnitude compacts older work into a summary and continues the session.
Project instructions
Run/init to generate an AGENTS.md file for the current project. Use it to describe repository conventions, architecture, test commands, and anything agents should do or avoid.
Edit AGENTS.md like any other project file. Magnitude reads applicable instructions when working in the repository.
Environment variables
Magnitude checks those Hugging Face cache settings in the order shown. If none is set, it checks
~/.cache/huggingface/hub.
Files and directories
Magnitude creates~/.magnitude automatically.
Deleting
~/.magnitude/cache may cause hardware profiling and model evaluation to run again, but it does not delete downloaded models. Models managed by Magnitude are stored separately under ~/.magnitude/models.
