GAIA’s day-to-day workflows are discrete slash entries that show up in autocomplete as you type /gaia-. Six are commands (/gaia-plan, /gaia-spec, /gaia-audit, /gaia-fitness, /gaia-forensics, /gaia-harden). Three are skills (/gaia-wiki, /gaia-handoff, /gaia-pickup) that also respond to plain-English requests, not just the slash form.
| Command | What it does |
|---|
/gaia-spec | Run a Q&A to write and refine specifications. |
/gaia-plan | Plan known features. |
/gaia-handoff | Generate a session handoff document so context can transfer to a fresh session. |
/gaia-pickup | Restore context from the most recent handoff. |
| Command | What it does |
|---|
/gaia-audit | Audit memory, rules, and wiki for duplication, contradictions, stale entries, and unnecessary base context overhead. |
/gaia-fitness | Health check and auto-heal for the Claude integration surface. Triage, heal, verify, with a letter grade. |
/gaia-harden | Human-gated Policy-Memory Loop. Reviews recurring code-review-audit findings and drafts the lowest-context-weight enforcement form for your approval. |
/gaia-wiki | Wiki maintenance. With no arguments, runs the full chain. Each can also be invoked individually. |
| Command | What it does |
|---|
/update-deps | Bump outdated packages group-by-group, run migrations for major-version bumps, and validate the full quality gate. |
/update-gaia | Pull the latest GAIA release into your project without overwriting your customizations. |
| Command | What it does |
|---|
/gaia-forensics | If you encounter any issues with GAIA commands, this will triage the issue and submit a bug report. |
Each entry has a sensible default when called with no arguments. /gaia-wiki runs the full chain (sync, consolidate, lint). /gaia-audit researches, then asks before it applies. /gaia-harden defaults to its interactive review mode. /gaia-plan, /gaia-spec, and /gaia-forensics prompt for or infer what they need before continuing.
