Commands

XGopilot supports slash commands for structured, outcome-driven tasks. Each command is designed for a specific scenario — use the right one and you'll get a more precise result.

Quick Reference

/code — Write Code

One-line summary: Turn a description into a real pull request.

When to use it:

• The issue is clear enough and you want AI to write the implementation
• A PR review left comments that need to be addressed — ask XGopilot to make the changes

Usage:

/code

The search endpoint doesn't support filtering by date range.
Add a `from` and `to` query parameter to GET /api/search.

After submitting, XGopilot will clone the repo, write the code, run tests, and open a PR.

/plan — Design First

One-line summary: Get an implementation plan before writing any code.

When to use it:

• The requirement is complex and the team needs to align before coding starts
• You're unsure about the technical approach and want AI to analyze the options

Usage:

/plan

We need to migrate from JWT to session-based auth.
The existing User model should remain compatible.
Please outline the approach and list which files will change.

XGopilot responds with: architecture decisions, file-level change list, migration strategy, and risk notes. Once the team agrees, follow up with /code to implement.

/review — Code Review

One-line summary: Get a thorough AI code review on a PR.

When to use it:

• A PR is ready for review and you want a second opinion before human reviewers look at it
• You want to catch security issues, performance problems, or logic bugs early

Usage:

/review

Or focus the review:

/review Focus on the database transaction handling.

XGopilot reviews the diff for bugs, security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and code quality, then leaves inline comments.

/simplify — Refactor

One-line summary: Simplify overly complex code in a PR.

When to use it:

• The PR has working code but it's too verbose or hard to follow
• A function has grown too large and needs splitting

Usage:

/simplify The PaymentProcessor class is too large.
Please split it into smaller, focused functions.

XGopilot rewrites the code for clarity and pushes the changes to the existing PR branch.

/compact — Summarize & Reset

One-line summary: Summarize the current state of an Issue or PR and clean up bot comments.

When to use it:

• An Issue or PR has accumulated many comments and the current status is unclear
• After multiple rounds of AI interaction, you want a fresh context window

Usage:

/compact

XGopilot produces a summary comment covering what's been decided, what's pending, and what the next step is. Previous bot comments are cleaned up.

/close — Close

One-line summary: Let AI verify the issue is resolved and close it.

When to use it:

• An Issue has been addressed by a merged PR and you want AI to confirm and close it
• A PR is no longer needed

Usage:

/close The fix was merged in PR #234.

XGopilot verifies the context and closes the Issue or PR with a summary comment.
