Frequently asked questions

Are ChatGPT slash commands official?

No. ChatGPT has no built-in slash-command parser. These 'cheat codes' are community prompt shortcuts that work because the token clearly expresses intent.

Will these work on GPT-4o, GPT-5, Claude and Gemini?

Yes, mostly. Any modern LLM interprets these shortcuts because they're semantically clear. Output style may vary slightly per model.

Which cheat codes should a beginner memorise first?

Start with these 10: /eli5, /summary, /table, /bullets, /stepbystep, /rewrite, /improve, /actas, /examples, /deepdive.
