Usage Tools

The usage tools cover session-level housekeeping: reading the built-in manual, inspecting how much the current session has consumed, clearing the conversation, and leaving the client. Like all local commands, they are handled locally and keep working even when the server or model status in the header is red.

/manual#

Opens the built-in user manual in a full-screen, two-pane viewer: the text of the selected section in the left pane and the table of contents in the right pane. The manual is embedded into the binary at compile time, so it is always available — no external files are read, and it works regardless of server or model state.

Switch sections with Alt+J/Alt+K, move the highlighted line with Up/Down, scroll with Alt+Up/Alt+Down or PageUp/PageDown, and pan long lines with Left/Right. Alt+S opens a search window over the entire manual (Enter jumps to the next match, Esc closes it). Alt+X (or Esc Esc) exits.

Examples

/manual

Natural-language forms:

manual
show manual
open manual

/usage#

Shows usage statistics for the current session. The report covers:

Examples

/usage

Natural-language forms:

usage
show usage

/clear#

Clears the current conversation. The in-memory conversation history is dropped so the next prompt starts a fresh exchange. The session itself is preserved; only the conversation context is cleared. To also return to the configured model and server, use /reload.

Examples

/clear

Natural-language forms:

clear
clear conversation
reset conversation

/quit#

/quit exits immediately, whereas Ctrl+C uses a two-step confirmation (press once to arm quit mode, then again within two seconds to exit). On exit the full resume command is printed:

orangu --resume 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

The resume command is not printed when the session had no LLM interaction and was on main, master, or outside a Git repository. In that case, the session directory is deleted silently.

Examples

/quit

Natural-language forms:

quit
exit
