# Story 241: /help Slash Command

## User Story

As a user, I want to type /help in the chat input so that I can see a list of available slash commands and what they do.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] User can type /help in the chat input
- [ ] A help overlay or panel displays all available slash commands with brief descriptions
- [ ] The overlay can be dismissed with Escape, Enter, or Space
- [ ] The slash command detection and dispatch mechanism is shared across all slash commands (reuse the same parser/router used by /btw and other slash commands — do not duplicate detection logic)

## Out of Scope

- TBD

## Rejection Notes

**2026-03-14:** Previous implementation was rejected. The frontend did nothing when the user typed `/help` — the slash command was not wired up in the UI at all. Ensure the full end-to-end flow works: typing `/help` in the chat input must visibly display the help overlay with slash command descriptions.
