REQ: Add explicit-command chat mode

[dmurat]

Issue

On numerous occasions, I forgot to add a slash in front of the aider command, which resulted in sending a request to LLM. I think it would be useful to have an explicit-command chat mode that will not do anything unless the prompt is prefixed with an aider command (/ask, /code, or any other).

Version and model info

Aider v0.56.0 Model: deepseek/deepseek-coder with diff edit format, prompt cache, infinite output Git repo: .git with 246 files Repo-map: using 2048 tokens, files refresh

Maybe related #1315

I can see similarities, but I think it is still different.

I'm looking for an explicit option to allow communication towards LLM. It can be either an explicit command, as I mentioned before. It can be an option to automatically add a slash in front of each Aider input. It can be an Aider question to the user to allow communication, or something similar.

Tnx

Thanks for trying aider and filing this issue.

I'm not sure this is likely to be in the roadmap for aider.

[dmurat]

Ok, I understand. Tnx, anyway.
