Slash Commands

Inside Claude Code, /z commands let you interact with the reviewer and control your monitoring session.

Command reference

/z spy

View the reviewer's transcript for the current session. Shows what was reviewed, what was blocked, and the reviewer's reasoning for each determination.

By default, shows the latest user turn. You can specify a turn number to view earlier turns.

/z ask

Ask the reviewer a question about the current session without changing its monitoring behavior. Use this to understand why the reviewer made a specific decision, or to get the reviewer's opinion on the agent's work.

/z ask Why did you block that last edit?

/z direct

Send a high-priority directive that overrides the reviewer's behavior for the rest of the session. Use this when you need the reviewer to stand down on a specific issue or change its approach.

/z direct Let the agent write to any file without blocking.

Directives are non-enforcing — the reviewer acknowledges and continues monitoring under the new instructions.

/z level

Adjust the reviewer's scrutiny level (1–5) on the fly. Higher levels increase intervention likelihood.

/z level 4

/z adversary

Switch the reviewer's behavioral profile mid-session. Context memory is preserved; only the operating rules change. Shows a list of available profiles to choose from.

/z cycle

Reset the reviewer's context window while keeping the same profile. The reviewer writes a handoff summary, a new session starts with that summary plus recent events, and monitoring continues with a fresh context.

Useful when the session has gone long and the reviewer seems stale or disoriented.

/z enable / /z disable

Enable or disable supervision for the current session or all sessions.

/z disable        # This session only
/z disable --all  # All sessions until re-enabled
/z enable         # Re-enable

/z session-id

Show the current session ID. Mostly useful for diagnostics.

/z oauth

Authenticate or re-authenticate with a model provider (currently OpenAI only).

/z update

Update the Zwischen client package and restart the daemon.

/z restart

Restart the Zwischen daemon without updating.
