Names in this entry

slash/config
Open the Settings interface to adjust theme, model, output style, and other preferences. Pass one or more key=value pairs to set a setting directly without opening the interface, for example /config thinking=false, /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. The key=value form can't turn on a setting that needs your confirmation in the panel, such as autoContinueAtUsageLimit, though it can turn one off. Run /config --help to list the keys it accepts. Alias: /settings

Anthropic's note

Upstream's own release notes for v0.2.47 name something this entry names, so the two are probably about the same change. Probably: the pairing is made on a shared name rather than on the words around it.

Automatic conversation compaction for infinite conversation length (toggle with /config)

Is this right?

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.
