Typing / in the SoloEnt chat box gives you quick access to the default commands, installed skills, and installed workflows available in the current project. The list that opens when you type a slash in the chat box: three default commands and the installed skills

Default commands

/init — initialize SOLOENT.md

SOLOENT.md is the control panel for a writing project, and the AI’s long-term memory: it records your story DNA, tracks progress, and keeps a long work consistent.
To keep everyday writing lean, SoloEnt no longer generates SOLOENT.md for every project. Create it by hand when the project needs it. Short works and non-fiction can do without.

/compact — compact the context by hand

Above the chat box you can see how much context the current window has used, for example 38.5k / 128.0k — used on the left, the session’s ceiling on the right. The Agent compacts automatically as you approach that ceiling, and you can run /compact yourself at any time.

Preinstalled skills

/create-skill — the skill that builds skills

In any situation, you can ask SoloEnt to turn what you just did into a reusable Skill, and the Agent calls this preinstalled skill to create it.
Once a process works the way you want, just say “turn that into a skill”. The experience you build up becomes reusable automation.

Installed skills and workflows

Plugins installed from the Marketplace add their skills and workflows to the / list automatically. To activate one, pick it from the list — it stays at the head of the input box as a tag — then write your prompt after it and send them together. The chosen /read-book-generate-cover skill sitting at the head of the input box, followed by the prompt make a cover for this book For example, pick /read-book-generate-cover and write “make a cover for this book”, and the Agent follows that skill’s process to read the manuscript and generate a cover.
Workflows are being retired from the Agent. Package new reusable processes as Skills.

Built-in workflows

The two processes below ship as built-in workflows. They are retiring along with workflows in general, and plugins will take over:

/review - Quality Assurance

The /review command runs a multi-layered quality assurance process on your chapter:
  • Word count: Checks if chapter length matches your target
  • Outline alignment: Verifies the chapter follows your planned outline
  • Story continuity: Compares with story outline and act structure
  • Chapter flow: Checks consistency with previous chapter
  • Character integrity: Verifies characters act according to their profiles
  • World rules: Ensures no violations of established world-building
  • Style guide compliance: Checks against your stylistic guidelines (Section 5 of SOLOENT.md)
  • Character voice: Ensures characters speak and act consistently
  • Tone consistency: Verifies the chapter maintains the intended atmosphere
  • Hook quality: Ensures chapter ends with a compelling hook
  • Ending pitfalls: Flags repeated words, long inner monologues, or weak endings
  • Next chapter connection: Verifies smooth transition to next chapter
  • Originality check: Verifies text doesn’t reproduce copyrighted material
  • Repeated phrases: Detects overused words or phrases
  • Em dash overuse: Flags unnecessary em dash usage
  • List pattern abuse: Catches “word, word, word” patterns common in AI writing
We highly suggest you run /review after completing each chapter, before moving to the next. This catches issues early when they’re easier to fix.

/market - Publishing Strategy

The /market command analyzes your completed manuscript and generates a comprehensive publishing strategy:
  • Primary genre: Identifies your book’s genre and subgenre
  • Word count: Calculates per-chapter and total word count
  • Market category: Determines MG/YA/Adult and Fiction/Non-fiction classification
  • Logline: Crafts a one-sentence hook for your story
  • Main selling points: Identifies unique elements that make your book marketable
  • Comparable titles: Suggests “comp titles” for query letters
  • Best-fit route: Traditional, Hybrid, Self-publishing, or Fandom platforms
  • Rationale: Explains why this route fits your manuscript
  • Target platforms: Specific publishers, imprints, or self-publishing platforms
  • Next steps: Query letter, editing needs, cover design, etc.
  • Comparable titles: Books similar to yours and their success metrics
  • Timeline: Expected timeline to publication
  • Budget: Estimated costs (for self-publishing or hybrid routes)
Run /market when your manuscript is complete or near-complete. This helps you plan your publishing strategy before diving into the query process.
Output: The Agent generates a marketing plan saved to:
