+AnchorCli provides several slash commands for managing your session and interacting with the AI.
+
+## Available Commands
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/setup` | Run interactive TUI to configure API key and model (also accessible via `anchor setup` subcommand) |
+| `/help` | Show available tools and commands |
+| `/exit` | Exit the application |
+| `/clear` | Clear the conversation history |
+| `/status` | Show session token usage and cost |
+| `/compact` | Manually trigger context compaction |
+| `/reset` | Clear session and reset token tracker |

+# The Hashline Technique
+
+Hashline is AnchorCli's unique approach to safe, precise file editing.
+
+## How It Works
+
+Every line returned by file tools is prefixed with a content-derived hash anchor:
+
+```
+  function hello() {
+    return "world";
+  }
+```
+
+The format is `lineNumber:hash|content` where:
+- `lineNumber` is the current line number in the file
+- `hash` is an Adler-8 checksum derived from the line content and position
+- `content` is the actual line text
+
+## Editing with Anchors
+
+When editing, you reference these `line:hash` anchors instead of reproducing old content. Before any mutation, both the line number **and** hash are validated — stale anchors are rejected immediately.
+
+### Example
+
+To replace lines 2-3 from the example above:
+
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "replace_lines",
+  "path": "example.js",
+  "startAnchor": "2:f1",
+  "endAnchor": "3:0e",
+  "newLines": ["    return \"hello world\";"]
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+This eliminates:
+
+- **Whitespace/indentation reproduction errors** — No need to match exact spacing
+- **Silent edits to the wrong line** — Hash validation ensures you're editing the right content
+- **Entire-file rewrites** — Change just one line without touching the rest
+- **Line drift in batch operations** — BatchEdit validates all anchors upfront and applies changes bottom-to-top
+
+## Key Principles
+
+1. **Never include anchors in your content** — When using `replace_lines`, `insert_after`, or similar tools, the `newLines` parameter should contain raw source code only, WITHOUT the `lineNumber:hash|` prefix
+2. **Always validate before editing** — Re-read files to get fresh anchors if your previous anchors fail validation
+3. **Use BatchEdit for multiple changes** — This validates all anchors upfront and applies operations atomically

+# Available Tools
+
+AnchorCli provides a comprehensive set of tools for file operations, editing, directory management, and command execution.
+
+## File Operations
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `read_file` | Read a file (or a window) with Hashline-tagged lines |
+| `grep_file` | Search a file by regex — results are pre-tagged for immediate editing |
+| `grep_recursive` | Search for a regex pattern across all files in a directory tree |
+| `find_files` | Search for files matching glob patterns |
+| `get_file_info` | Get detailed file information (size, permissions, etc.) |
+
+## Edit Operations
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `replace_lines` | Replace a range identified by `line:hash` anchors |
+| `insert_after` | Insert lines after an anchor |
+| `delete_range` | Delete a range between two anchors |
+| `create_file` | Create a new file with optional initial content |
+| `delete_file` | Delete a file permanently |
+| `rename_file` | Rename or move a file |
+| `copy_file` | Copy a file to a new location |
+| `append_to_file` | Append lines to the end of a file |
+| `batch_edit` | Apply multiple replace/delete operations atomically in a single call |
+
+## Directory Operations
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `list_dir` | List directory contents |
+| `create_dir` | Create a new directory (with parent directories) |
+| `rename_dir` | Rename or move a directory |
+| `delete_dir` | Delete a directory and all its contents |
+
+## Command Execution
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `execute_command` | Run shell commands (with user approval) |
+
+## Tool Usage Guidelines
+
+- All file editing tools use **Hashline anchors** (`line:hash`) for precise, safe edits
+- Before any mutation, both the line number **and** hash are validated — stale anchors are rejected
+- `batch_edit` is preferred for multiple operations to prevent line drift
+- `grep_file` results are pre-tagged with anchors for immediate editing
