Interactive mode

About interactive mode

Auggie is an agentic terminal-based code assistant that has deep codebase knowledge powered by Augment’s context engine. Auggie can help you understand a new codebase, fix bugs quickly, and build new features faster. Auggie has access to your connected integrations and MCP servers and can pull in additional context or run tools to get your tasks done.

Using interactive mode

Run auggie without any mode flags to get the full-screen terminal user interface with rich interactive features, real-time streaming of responses, and visual progress indicators. This mode shows all tool calls, results, and allows ongoing conversation through an intuitive interface.

# Start Auggie in interactive mode

# Provide an initial instruction
auggie "Look at my open issues and prioritize the highest impact ones for me"

Custom and skill slash commands

In addition to the built-in commands above, the slash menu also lists:

Your custom slash commands — for example, .augment/commands/deploy-staging.md becomes /deploy-staging.
Your discovered skills — for example, a skill at .augment/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md becomes /my-skill. The /skills command opens a browser popover to discover what is available, but it is not required in order to invoke a skill.

Built-in slash commands take precedence over custom commands or skills with the same name, so choose names that do not collide with the commands listed above. For more information about slash commands, including how to create custom commands, see Custom Slash Commands.
