Commands & shortcuts
Trigger chat actions, document workflows, and diagnostics directly from the command palette or composer.
How commands are wired
SystemSculpt loads the commands below when the plugin starts. Each one lines up with the buttons and menus you see in Obsidian, so the behaviour here matches what happens in the app.
Use the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl + P) and type the command name, or pair it with ribbon icons you have enabled.
