Examples

Section titled “Examples”

Start a room and bring your friends in

Section titled “Start a room and bring your friends in”
/room design pixels42        create #design (or join it, if a friend made it) with passcode pixels42
/room squad                  switch to #squad, a room you're already in
/room                        list your rooms and their unread counts
/say standup in 5?           post to the current room without opening the pane
/who                         who's online, and in which rooms

Rooms from the prompt: join with a passcode, list, switch, post with /say, see who's online and pick a new name.

Share code and diffs

Section titled “Share code and diffs”
/chat-share                  the text you selected, or Claude's last code block, to the current room
/chat-share #design          the same, to #design
/chat-share diff             all your uncommitted changes
/chat-share diff src/a.ts    only src/a.ts
/chat-share diff src/a.ts #design
/chat-share send             post what the preview showed
/chat-share cancel           drop it

If what you share looks like it holds an API key, a token, a private key or a secret from an env file, the preview says so and asks you to send twice.

Claude writes a debounce helper. /chat-share shows a preview of its code block and /chat-share send posts it. /chat-share diff does the same for an uncommitted change. In the pane both appear as cards, the diff colored, and a friend replies.
Sharing Claude's code block and an uncommitted diff: a preview first, then a card in the room.

Stay focused

Section titled “Stay focused”
/chat dnd on                 no toasts, and friends see you as busy
/chat dnd auto               the same, but only while Claude works on something longer than 30 seconds
/chat dnd off                back to normal, with one summary of what you missed
/chat notify on              a toast when someone writes @yourname
With /chat dnd on, the band above the prompt turns grey and shows a muted count while a friend writes, with no toast. After /chat dnd off, one toast sums up the missed messages and the pane shows them.
Do not disturb: the band stays grey while sam writes, and one toast sums it up after.
