# Commands

> Powerful workflows at your fingertips with slash commands

SoloEnt includes built-in **slash commands** that give you instant access to professional writing workflows. Just type `/` in the editor to invoke these specialized tools.

<Note>
  Think of commands like power tools in your workshop. Instead of manually checking every detail, you invoke a command and let the Agent run a comprehensive workflow for you.
</Note>

## Built-in Commands

SoloEnt currently provides four official commands. Here is what each does at a glance:

| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **`/init`**    | Manually initialize the project memory file `SOLOENT.md` — see the [SOLOENT.md guide](/en/tips/SoloEnt)                        |
| **`/compact`** | Manually compact the current session's context to save tokens — see [Using the Context Window Wisely](/en/tips/context-window) |
| **`/review`**  | Run a multi-layered quality review on a chapter (details below)                                                                |
| **`/market`**  | Analyze your work's publishing/marketing strategy (details below)                                                              |

### `/review` - Quality Assurance

The `/review` command runs a multi-layered quality assurance process on your chapter:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="1. Basic Review">
    * **Word count**: Checks if chapter length matches your target
    * **Outline alignment**: Verifies the chapter follows your planned outline
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="2. Consistency Review">
    * **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
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="3. Writing Style Review">
    * **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
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="4. Chapter Ending Review">
    * **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
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="5. AI Writing Pattern Detection">
    * **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
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Tip>
  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.
</Tip>

**Output:**

The Agent generates a detailed review report saved to:

```
notes/review-chapter-{number}-{date}.md
```

### `/market` - Publishing Strategy

The `/market` command analyzes your completed manuscript and generates a comprehensive publishing strategy:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="1. Genre & Market Analysis">
    * **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
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="2. Story Elements Extraction">
    * **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
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="3. Publishing Route Recommendation">
    * **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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="4. Success Benchmarks">
    * **Comparable titles**: Books similar to yours and their success metrics
    * **Timeline**: Expected timeline to publication
    * **Budget**: Estimated costs (for self-publishing or hybrid routes)
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Tip>
  Run `/market` when your manuscript is complete or near-complete. This helps you plan your publishing strategy before diving into the query process.
</Tip>

**Output:**

The Agent generates a marketing plan saved to:

```
notes/marketing-plan-{date}.md
```
