[DOCS] Model configuration docs omit `/effort auto` reset command
Documentation Type
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
Documentation Location
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/model-config
Section/Topic
Effort-level controls and reset behavior.
Current Documentation
The effort section currently documents:
Three levels are available: low, medium, and high.
And setting methods:
In/model: use left/right arrow keys to adjust the effort slider Environment variable: setCLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL=low|medium|high* Settings: seteffortLevelin your settings file
No /effort command entry or /effort auto reset behavior is documented.
What's Wrong or Missing?
Release v2.1.72 states users can run /effort auto to reset effort to default.
The model configuration page explains low/medium/high but omits the command-based reset path, leaving users without a documented way to return from an explicit override to automatic/default behavior.
Suggested Improvement
Add a short subsection under "Adjust effort level" that documents:
/effort low|medium|high(if supported command syntax should be listed explicitly)./effort autoresets to default model behavior.- How
/effort autointeracts with/modelslider andCLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
