# Deadeye Help

Present this reference card, formatted cleanly:

## Coder mode

| Level | What it does |

|---|---|

| `spotter` | Builds what's asked, names the leaner alternative in one line |

| `marksman` | The lean-first ladder enforced. Default. |

| `sniper` | Maximum minimalism — one-liners, challenges the requirement itself |

- Switch: `/deadeye-coder spotter|marksman|sniper|off`

- Report current: `/deadeye-coder`

- Persist a default for new sessions: `/deadeye-coder default <level>`

(writes deadeye's own `~/.deadeye/config.json`, never Claude's settings)

- Turn off mid-session: say exactly `normal mode` or `stop coder`

## Commands

| Command | What it does |

|---|---|

| `/deadeye-status` | Modes, coder level, kill switches, catalog, daemon health |

| `/deadeye-config` | View or change any setting from chat (or just say what to change) |

| `/deadeye-route [task]` | Dry-run the routing decision with full reasoning |

| `/deadeye-stats [savings\|context]` | Decision-log reports: measured impact (default), token savings, per-session context breakdown |

| `/deadeye-coder [level]` | Switch/report the coder persona level |

| `/deadeye-mute [off]` | Session-scoped mute for advisories/nags (rewrites stay on) |

| `/deadeye-review [--repo]` | Over-engineering review of the working diff, or the whole repo with `--repo` |

| `/deadeye-guard` | Security review of the current diff -- injection, secrets, authz, crypto, exposure, deps, DoS |

| `/deadeye-pr [<PR>] [--post]` | PR review across four lenses -- over-engineering, correctness, performance, security |

| `/deadeye-debt` | Ledger of `deadeye:` shortcut markers |

| `/deadeye-help` | This card |

CLI-only: `deadeye lessons [reset]` inspects/clears the recorded routing

outcomes that bias future decisions. `deadeye update` updates the managed

binary directly (sha256-verified, atomic) — for Codex-only installs.

## Kill switches (env)

- `DEADEYE=off` — everything

- `DEADEYE_PREPROCESS=off` — context hygiene (output trimming + read/repeat advisories)

- `DEADEYE_GATE=off` — plan gate

- `DEADEYE_CODER=off` — coder persona

## Config

`~/.deadeye/config.json` (seeded with defaults on first run; project

overrides in `.deadeye.json`). Coder knobs: `coder.default_level`,

`coder.subagent_matcher`, `coder.injection_budget_tokens`,

`coder.security_osv` (`false` keeps the dependency check fully offline).

## Update

`/plugin marketplace update deadeye` then `/reload-plugins` — or enable

auto-update under `/plugin` → Marketplaces. Codex-only install: run

`deadeye update` instead (see CLI-only above).

One-shot: do NOT change any mode or write anything.
