Command Variants

Most Hyprlayer commands have variants for different contexts.

Base Commands

The standard versions integrate fully with the thoughts directory. They read from and write to thoughts/, use shared templates, and sync artifacts.

/create_plan
/research_codebase
/describe_pr
/iterate_plan

_nt Variants (No Thoughts)

The _nt variants skip thoughts directory integration. Use these in repositories that don’t have Hyprlayer thoughts initialized.

/create_plan_nt
/research_codebase_nt
/describe_pr_nt
/iterate_plan_nt

These commands work the same way but don’t read from or write to the thoughts directory. Plans and research are produced in the conversation only.

_generic Variants

The _generic variants are designed for use outside of the Hyprlayer ecosystem entirely. They don’t assume any specific project structure or tooling.

/create_plan_generic
/research_codebase_generic

Available Variants

Base Command	_nt	_generic
/create_plan	/create_plan_nt	/create_plan_generic
/research_codebase	/research_codebase_nt	/research_codebase_generic
/iterate_plan	/iterate_plan_nt	—
/describe_pr	/describe_pr_nt	—

Commands like /commit, /implement_plan, /validate_plan, /create_handoff, /resume_handoff, /local_review, and /founder_mode do not have variants.

CI Variants

Two commands have CI-specific variants optimized for non-interactive environments:

• /ci_commit — Commits without interactive approval
• /ci_describe_pr — Generates PR descriptions in CI pipelines
