:cody help

:cody help prints the list of available commands and the current skill version. Useful when you’ve forgotten what’s available or want to confirm which version of Cody Product Builder is installed.

When to use it

• You want a quick reminder of the command surface.
• You want to confirm which version of the skill your agent loaded.

What it does

When you run :cody help, Cody:

1. Reads the version from its own SKILL.md frontmatter (metadata.version).
2. Prints a header along the lines of Cody Product Builder v<version> - Available Commands.
3. Lists every available command and a short description of what each does.

That’s it. No follow-up questions, no flow change. The skill stays in whatever state it was already in.

The command list

These are all the :cody commands Cody Product Builder responds to:

Command	What it does
:cody help	Shows help and every available command.
:cody plan	Starts the Plan phase and creates a new project.
:cody build	Starts or continues the Build phase. Creates the feature backlog if needed, then offers a new version, an existing version, or a patch.
:cody idea	Captures an idea to the backlog without breaking your flow, or views backlog items.
:cody prototype	Builds a throwaway prototype to test an idea. Independent of Plan and Build.
:cody refresh	Refreshes the agent’s memory about the project. Auto-detects brownfield projects.
