Two surfaces: briglia subcommands in your shell, and /commands inside a conversation. The chat commands are one shared set — everything that works on Telegram works in the terminal, and vice versa.
Shell: briglia …
Command
What it does
briglia · briglia chat
Interactive chat with Briglia (the default command).
briglia setup
Setup wizard: providers, keys, permissions, channels. Re-run any single section later.
briglia daemon
Headless mode: no local chat, messaging channels (Telegram) only. One conversation-owning instance at a time — briglia and briglia daemon share state, the second refuses to start.
briglia doctor [--online]
Check configuration, permissions and toolchain; --online also probes the configured services. Exit code 1 if problems were found.
briglia upgrade [-y] · briglia update
Update to the latest signed release; -y skips the confirmation.
briglia service install [--no-keepawake] | status | uninstall
Linux: run Briglia as an always-on systemd user service (auto-start at boot via linger; keep-awake support on Ubuntu Touch). Bare briglia service = status.
Linux: media/document tools — on Ubuntu Touch in an OTA-safe userdata prefix, no root.
briglia trigger <watcher-id> [payload…]
Post an event to an external-trigger watcher created by Briglia. Works even when Briglia isn't running.
briglia media-selftest
Verify the PDF/image pipeline (poppler/ImageMagick on Linux).
briglia --version · briglia --help
Version and help.
Hidden but present: briglia setup-api (JSON setup surface used by the Ubuntu Touch app) and briglia bundle-check (used by the updater). Internal __… commands are self-tests.

menu marks the five commands shown in Telegram's “/” menu; /commands prints the full standard set below.

Power commands
Working but kept out of the table: /spend (shows today's and this month's spend with each limit; /spend turn|daily|monthly <usd|off> sets or removes a per-turn tool cap or a daily/monthly limit — all off by default; /more1, /more5, /more10 raise a reached daily/monthly limit for today/this month only), /hide and /show (privacy mode for local surfaces), /transcribe_openai. Aliases: /pulisci = /prune, /riavvia = /restart, /comandi = /commands, /continua = /continue.
Two-step commands
/setname <name> then /setname confirm; /importmind <path> then /importmind confirm; /deleteuserdata and /switchbot ask for a confirmation too. /upgrade and /restart refuse while a turn is running — /stop first.
