What is cmd-helper?
cmd-helper is a dedicated utility designed to enhance the user interaction experience within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem. By providing a centralized command menu triggered by simple shortcuts like /c or /cmd, it eliminates the need for complex manual configurations during active sessions. It serves as a bridge between the user and the underlying agent protocols, allowing for rapid adjustments to the AI environment.
The skill is particularly effective for developers and power users who need to pivot between different Large Language Models (LLMs) or reset contexts without breaking their workflow. By integrating deeply with session management tools, cmd-helper ensures that environment state changes are handled gracefully and transparently.
cmd-helper Use Cases
- Rapidly switching between different AI models (e.g., Qwen, GLM, MiniMax) based on task requirements.
- Starting a fresh session using sessions_spawn when the current context becomes cluttered.
- Checking the real-time status of the current AI agent session.
- Resetting the existing session to clear history while maintaining current configurations.
- Accessing a quick-reference help menu for available agent commands.
How cmd-helper Works
- The user triggers the assistant by typing /c or /cmd into the chat interface.
- The skill intercepts the input and displays a structured ASCII command menu containing options for session control and model switching.
- The user selects a numerical option (e.g., 1 for 'new', 3 for 'model').
- If a model switch is requested, a sub-menu appears listing available models with their specific technical metadata (context window, multi-modal support, etc.).
- The skill executes the corresponding backend action, such as applying a gateway config.patch or spawning a new session.
- The user can enter 0 at any time to exit the command mode and return to standard interaction.
cmd-helper Setup
To enable cmd-helper within your Openclaw environment, ensure your agent has access to the session and gateway tools. Configuration is typically handled via the skill manifest.
# Example of checking session status which cmd-helper utilizes
openclaw session status
# The skill relies on gateway patches for model switching
openclaw gateway config.patch --model [model_name]
cmd-helper Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes interaction data based on session state and model metadata. It retrieves real-time info from the system to populate its menus.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Context Size | Displayed in the model list (e.g., 1M, 262K) |
| Capabilities | Icons indicating Text, Image, or Reasoning support |
| Session ID | Tracked via sessions_spawn for new instances |
| Current Model | Identified by a star symbol in the sub-menu |
cmd-helper Advanced Features
- Multi-model support: Integration with a wide array of flagship models including Qwen 3.5, GLM-5, and KIMI-k2.5.
- Dynamic configuration: Uses config.patch to modify default models on the fly without restarting the agent service.
- State awareness: Pulls 'Currently in use' information directly from session_status to prevent redundant model switching.
- Low-friction UI: Uses numerical inputs to minimize typing overhead in CLI environments.
