Built-in Commands

AstrBot commands are registered through the plugin system. To keep the core lightweight, only a small set of basic commands are loaded with AstrBot itself. Other management and extended commands have been moved into a separate plugin.

Use /help to view currently enabled commands.

[!NOTE]

1. /help, /set, and /unset are not shown in the /help command list by default, but they are still available.
2. If you change the wake prefix and remove the default /, commands must use the new wake prefix as well. For example, after changing the wake prefix to !, use !help and !reset instead of /help and /reset.

Core Built-in Commands

The following commands are shipped with AstrBot and loaded by default:

• /help: View currently enabled commands and AstrBot version information.
• /sid: View current message source information, including UMO, user ID, platform ID, message type, and session ID. This is commonly used when configuring admins, allowlists, or routing rules.
• /name: Set a display alias for the current UMO, which means one concrete group or private-chat message source on a platform, so it is easier to recognize in WebUI. This command requires admin permission.
• /reset: Reset the current conversation's LLM context.
• /stop: Stop Agent tasks currently running in the current session.
• /new: Create and switch to a new conversation.
• /dashboard_update: Update AstrBot WebUI. This command requires admin permission.
• /set: Set a session variable, commonly used for Agent Runner input variables such as Dify, Coze, or DashScope.
• /unset: Remove a session variable.

These commands are located in:

astrbot/builtin_stars/builtin_commands

Core Command Details

/sid

/sid shows information about the current message source. It mainly returns:

• UMO: The unified message origin of the current message. It is commonly used for allowlists and per-session config routing.
• UID: The sender's user ID. It is commonly used when adding AstrBot admins.
• Bot ID: The platform instance ID of the current bot.
• Message Type: The message type, such as private chat or group chat.
• Session ID: The platform-side session ID.

In group chats, if unique_session is enabled, /sid also shows the current group ID. This group ID can be used to allowlist the entire group.

Common uses:

• Add an admin: run /sid to get the UID, then add it in WebUI under Config -> Other Config -> Admin ID.
• Configure allowlists: use UMO or group ID to control which sessions can use the bot.
• Configure routing rules: use UMO to distinguish different platforms, groups, or private chats.

/name

/name sets a human-readable display alias for the current UMO. UMO stands for Unified Message Origin. It identifies one concrete message source in the form platform ID:message type:session ID, such as a QQ group, a Telegram group, or a private chat on a specific platform.

Raw UMOs are often long and are not always easy to recognize at a glance. After setting /name, AstrBot shows this alias first in WebUI UMO lists, session source selectors, cron delivery targets, conversation data, and other places where administrators need to identify or select a target session. This reduces the chance of choosing the wrong source when configuring routing rules, cron delivery targets, or per-session rules.

/name also records the readable auto name provided by the current platform when available, such as a group name in group chats or a sender nickname/ID in private chats. This lets WebUI show a readable name even when no manual alias has been set.

Usage:

• /name <alias>: Set or update the alias for the current UMO. This command can be used repeatedly; the latest value overwrites the previous alias.
• /name: With no argument, it does not modify the alias. It only shows usage, the current UMO, the current auto name, and the saved alias.

Display rules:

• If both alias and auto name exist, AstrBot displays alias (auto name).
• If only the auto name exists, AstrBot displays the auto name.
• If neither exists, AstrBot displays the raw UMO.

/name requires admin permission.

/reset

/reset resets the LLM context of the current session.

For AstrBot's built-in Agent Runner, it:

• Stops running tasks in the current session.
• Clears the context messages of the current conversation.
• Notifies long-term memory to clear the current session state.

For third-party Agent Runners such as dify, coze, dashscope, and deerflow, it:

• Stops running tasks in the current session.
• Removes the saved third-party conversation ID for this session, so the next turn starts a new conversation.

Permission notes:

• In private chat, regular users can use it by default.
• In group chat with unique_session enabled, regular users can use it by default.
• In group chat without unique_session, admin permission is required by default.
• If command permission settings have been customized, the actual configuration takes precedence.

/stop

/stop stops Agent tasks currently running in the current session.

It does not clear conversation history and does not create a new conversation. It only sends a stop request to tasks currently executing in this session.

For the built-in Agent Runner, /stop asks the Agent Runner to stop the current task.
For third-party Agent Runners such as dify, coze, dashscope, and deerflow, /stop directly stops registered running tasks in the current session.

If there are no running tasks in the current session, AstrBot will report that no task is running.

Built-in Commands Extension

Other commands that were previously shipped with the core have been moved to a separate plugin:

• builtin_commands_extension

This plugin provides extended commands for plugin management, Provider management, model switching, Persona management, and conversation management. Examples include:

• /plugin: View, enable, disable, or install plugins.
• /op, /deop: Add or remove admins.
• /provider: View or switch LLM Providers.
• /model: View or switch models.
• /history: View current conversation history.
• /ls: View the conversation list.
• /groupnew: Create a new conversation for a specified group.
• /switch: Switch to a specified conversation.
• /rename: Rename the current conversation.
• /del: Delete the current conversation.
• /persona: View or switch Persona.
• /llm: Enable or disable LLM chat.

Install or enable the builtin_commands_extension plugin if you need these extended commands.

Permission Notes

Some commands require AstrBot admin permission, such as /dashboard_update, /name, /op, /deop, /provider, /model, and /persona.

You can use /sid to get a user ID, then add it in WebUI under Config -> Other Config -> Admin ID.
