Permissions & Approvals (/permissions)

Use /permissions to configure which actions require manual confirmation before AdaL proceeds.

Common uses:

• Keep shell commands gated behind approval
• Allow auto-apply for file edits in trusted workflows
• Review and adjust safety behavior before enabling faster execution modes

Tips

• Use /help for information of all slash commands.
• Run /init to generate AGENTS.md so that AdaL can understand your codebase better.
• Use /compact after a milestone is achieved to save context and stay focused, or switch to a larger-context model via /model when needed.
• Use /permissions before long tasks to match approval strictness to your risk tolerance.
• Use /cron to automate recurring tasks — training monitoring, data pipelines, literature reviews, and more.
