Hi Claude user, Codex/ChatGPT doesn't have those commands anymore....at least not in their app, perhaps maybe on the CLI....it's annoying
uhhmmm I did check if those worked in codex and google ai says:
If you are using OpenAI's Codex CLI, OpenAI's desktop terminal integrations, or other developer-focused AI toolkits, /compact and /clear are fully supported commands, but yes via web : ChatGPT does not have built-in native slash commands equivalent to /compact or /clear (typo of /clear) found in terminal-based coding assistants like Claude Code.
Maybe this helps ?
Equivalent Actions in ChatGPTEquivalent to /compact (Summarizing context): ChatGPT has no automatic conversation compression command. You must manually prompt the model by typing "Summarize our conversation so far and focus only on..." or start a fresh thread.
Equivalent to /clear (Wiping the screen/history): There is no /clear command in the web chat interface. To start completely fresh, you must click New Chat in the upper-left corner or bulk-delete your history via Settings > Data Controls > Delete all chats.

I think once you install Codex (or Claude Code) and connect your ChatGPT account, you'll never want to work over the web again. With Codex, you can work directly on existing folders, documents, databases, etc. — it's a hundred times more productive. As mentioned before, make sure to spend time following best practices to safeguard against errors the AI tool might make, etc."
