Feature: Allow /model flag to accept inline prompt
Open 💬 0 comments Opened Jun 18, 2026 by gylmar-equipifi
Feature Request
Allow the /model command to optionally accept a prompt, enabling users to both switch models and submit an initial question in one command.
Example Usage
/model opus "explain this code"
/model sonnet --prompt "what's wrong here?"
Current Behavior
The /model flag only accepts the model name:
/model opusswitches to Opus- Prompts must be submitted separately in a new message
Desired Behavior
Enable submitting a prompt as part of the /model command to:
- Set the model
- Start a new thread/question with that model in a single step
This would streamline workflows where you want to quickly ask a question with a specific model without two separate commands.
Use Cases
- Quick model-specific queries from the command line
- Scripting or automation workflows
- Faster iteration when testing model responses
