/config
A Claude Code slash command, read out of the shipped bundle. No mined inventory carries it: everything below comes from what this site has written about it.
What it is
Open the [Settings](/docs/en/settings) interface to adjust theme, model, [output style](/docs/en/output-styles), and other preferences. From v2.1.181, pass one or more key=value pairs to set a setting directly without opening the interface, for example /config thinking=false. From v2.1.182, named shorthand keys are also accepted, such as /config theme=dark or /config model=sonnet. The key=value form also works in non-interactive mode (-p) and from the Claude mobile app via [Remote Control](/docs/en/remote-control). The key=value form can't turn on a setting that needs your confirmation in the panel, such as [autoContinueAtUsageLimit](/docs/en/interactive-mode#turn-automatic-continue-off), though it can turn one off. Run /config --help to list the keys it accepts. Alias: /settings

Presence across releases
The miner has never read a build containing this name. It is here because a changelog entry of ours names it, which is evidence that it existed and not evidence of which releases carried it. The inventory starts at v2.1.138 and everything older than that was never mined.

A reference table page is one whose own table defines this name, and it is where the description above came from. A page that mentions it carries the name somewhere in its text and may say nothing about it at all. Every page carrying it.
Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the slash command does. All slash commands.
