# Commands Reference

> Every slash command in Shapes: generate images, search the web, manage memory, and control which Shapes respond. The complete, at-a-glance command list.

Commands are quick actions you type right in the chat box. Type `/` to open the command menu and pick one. It shows the commands available in that chat.

<Info>
  Some commands target a specific Shape (you'll pick one, e.g. `@shape`), and some are owner-only. The tables below note both.
</Info>

## Images & web

| Command             | What it does                                            | Owner only? |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| `/imagine <prompt>` | Ask a Shape to generate an image from your description. | No          |
| `/web <query>`      | Have a Shape search the web for something.              | No          |

## Memory

| Command     | What it does                                                                  | Owner only? |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| `/sleep`    | Save the current conversation into the Shape's long-term memory.              | No          |
| `/wack`     | Clear a Shape's short-term memory for a fresh start. Long-term memories stay. | Yes         |
| `/wack-all` | Clear short-term memory for **every** Shape in the chat.                      | Yes         |
| `/reset`    | Erase a Shape's long-term memories for this chat.                             | Yes         |

<Tip>
  Confused about which command wipes what? `/wack` = forget the recent conversation. `/reset` = forget the lasting memories. `/sleep` = remember this. Full detail in the [Memory Guide](/memory).

## Shapes in the chat

| Command                | What it does                                       | Owner only? |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| `/activate <@shape>`   | Make a Shape respond to every message in the chat. | Yes         |
| `/deactivate <@shape>` | Stop a Shape from auto-responding.                 | Yes         |
| `/thread`              | Start a thread, e.g. `/thread @shape hi`.          | No          |

You can activate up to five Shapes in a chat. Activated Shapes reply to messages in turn; you can also `@mention` any Shape to call on it directly. See [AI Group Chats](/ai-group-chats) for how multiple Shapes share a chat.

## Moderation

| Command          | What it does                                   | Owner only? |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| `/purge <count>` | Delete the most recent messages from the chat. | Yes         |

For the rest of the moderation tools (slow mode, character limits, blocked words, and bans), see [Chats 101](/chats-101).
