Commands and shortcuts
Updated for SystemSculpt 6.19.5 ·
Run SystemSculpt commands from Obsidian's command palette by searching for the exact label below; the palette shows SystemSculpt AI: before each one. Some commands appear only when the relevant feature or file is available. Assign your own global shortcuts through Obsidian's Hotkeys settings; the chat-local keys below are not global bindings.

Show load diagnostics (safe mode) is conditional. Debug/repair commands are not routine first-run requirements. Save audio summary applies to Audio Processor summary-producing outputs; it does not create a summary for clean-transcript output. Resume inbox transcription appears only after you choose Not now for audio files waiting to be transcribed.
