Prompt commands
Steer one Claude Code prompt with AutoMode am: commands. Force a model or effort, run or skip the workflow, continue after a pause, restore after /clear.
Start a prompt with am: to steer that one prompt. The next prompt routes as usual.

Slash commands still count
Your own /model and /effort choices are pins. AutoMode reads them and keeps them until you change them, or until am:reset.
