Jay examines the project and current changes, prioritizes consequential risks, coordinates the available sub-agents and reports back with evidence, trends and a qualified opinion on shipworthiness.
Install the appropriate CARBON edition in a supported host, open the project and use its command or skill picker. This booklet does not install CARBON or run tests.
Claude
Commands commonly use the plugin prefix, such as /carbon:carbon or /carbon:jay. Use the name shown by your installed plugin.
Codex
Choose the CARBON skill, or use its supported $carbon form. Names and invocation UI are host-controlled.
Other configured hosts
Use the installed integration’s prompt, command or tool picker. A slash shorthand in this guide is not a universal terminal command.
Your access, your limits
Keep your existing frameworks. Your host supplies tools and model access; model usage, credentials and permissions remain under that host’s policies.
Read results, not just green checks.
Observed
A check ran, with a recorded outcome and evidence.
Proposed
A test or fix is suggested. It has not yet established anything.
Blocked / untested
Access, tools or scope prevented execution. Missing evidence is not a pass.
Qualified confidence
A judgment tied to evidence, assumptions and known gaps—not a guarantee of defect-free software.
Contents
/j is an alias for /jay. These 60 chapters cover the current command surface.
CHAPTER 01 / 60 Core + Pro
/carbon
Test a project or verify a recent feature or bug fix with Jay: risk-based checks, reproducible findings and confidence in a visual report.
Jay · Your AI test managerStart & investigate
When to use it
You have a change to validate but do not yet know where testing effort belongs.
Before you start
Give Jay the changed area and the user outcome that must still work. Check that the report distinguishes executed checks from source inspection and deferred risks.
Try this in your coding agent.

When to use it
You want a testing conversation: what matters, what happened, or what to investigate next.
Before you start
Ask a question to discuss evidence, or explicitly ask Jay to test a target. A conversation does not silently authorize tests or fixes. /j is the same entry point.

When to use it
A consequential code property has a small, supported formal scope.
Before you start
Bare /proof ranks source-grounded candidates and attempts one supported property automatically. Lean is required. Toolchain installation needs approval. Supported restricted Python Boolean and finite JavaScript state-transition models are not general proofs of arbitrary application code.
Try this in your coding agent.

PROVED
The recorded model property holds in its stated domain under its assumptions.
COUNTEREXAMPLE
A concrete failure has replay evidence. Preserve the input and regression fixture.
UNPROVED
Unsupported semantics, missing Lean/isolation, unresolved obligations or budget exhaustion. Not automatically a bug.
STALE
The fingerprint or dependencies changed. Fresh preparation and checking are needed.
Lean is mandatory: no native-only fallback. New toolchain downloads/container setup need explicit permission. Default automatic verification is one bounded attempt; manual selection is opt-in. A successful setup or generated Lean file is not a proof result.
Illustrative Lean: a tiny status model
This teaching example is not runtime-generated output or proof of the application. It only demonstrates the shape of a narrow model claim.

When to use it
You have evidence but still need a reasoned shipping judgment.
Before you start
Start with intended outcomes and the costliest unanswered questions. Link each confidence judgment to fresh evidence, missing coverage and human assumptions; do not interpret it as a probability of having no defects.
Try this in your coding agent.

/carbon-agentic
Assess how easily AI agents discover, understand, and safely operate a website, API, tool interface, or other artifact. Test machine-readable semantics, documentation and contracts, real task completion, state and recovery, and applicable agent-readiness guidance; publish actionable feedback rather than testing an agent model itself.
Jay · Your AI test managerAI evaluations
When to use it
Other AI agents need to discover and operate your interface safely.
Before you start
Inspect semantic labels, contracts, task completion, state recovery and confirmation boundaries. This assesses the target interface, not a universal intelligence score for an agent model.
Try this in your coding agent.
/carbon-agentic Assess whether an AI agent can understand and safely navigate the product catalog.

Check: Run a bounded validation loop for src/cart using local tests only.
Review
Review: Run a bounded validation loop for src/cart using local tests only.
Next cycle
I’m choosing the next uncovered state transition rather than repeating the same happy path.
Budget stop
The loop stops at its budget and records the remaining gap. Scope, budget and stop controls constrain a real run.

Illustrated outcome
The loop stops at its budget and records the remaining gap.
Evidence to inspect
Assess change → local check → inspect failure → next check → budget stop.
Still untested / not established
Scope, budget and stop controls constrain a real run.
Ready. Read the full example or play its steps.
What a useful result contains
A bounded claim
For bounded cart validation loop, state the target, revision, environment and actual work performed. Keep planned, executed, blocked and untested work separate.
An inspectable trail
Assess change → local check → inspect failure → next check → budget stop. In a real run, retain the source, trace, screenshot or fixture behind the conclusion.
The qualification
Scope, budget and stop controls constrain a real run.
The next decision
Decide whether the evidence calls for a focused check, a reviewed fix or more context. Do not convert a plausible example into a verified finding.
Adapt the example to your project
Replace bounded cart validation loop with a real feature, path or decision in your project.
State the expected rule and its source. Include safe fixtures, constraints and a budget where appropriate.
Ask for exact evidence and remaining gaps. Approve consequential actions separately.

CHAPTER 56 / 60 Core + Pro
/carbon-background
Set up, pause, inspect or review Jay's bounded background checks after code changes.
Jay · Your AI test managerTesting operations
When to use it
You want opt-in checks while working between changes.
Before you start
Verify supported trusted host hooks, explicit project consent and saved limits. Keep pause/kill-switch controls available. Unsupported hosts should offer an explicit bounded run—not a hidden daemon.
Try this in your coding agent.
/carbon-background Show a proposed background-check scope for src/auth; wait for my consent to enable it.
Replace sample paths with your project. Slash names are shorthand; your host may use a plugin prefix or a skill picker. Invocation help →

/carbon-forever
Continuously expand test coverage and investigate bugs until stopped or an optional limit is reached.
Jay · Your AI test managerTesting operations
When to use it
You explicitly want ongoing discovery across successive coverage gaps.
Before you start
Two separate confirmations precede start or resume. Use optional time/cycle limits and inspect checkpoints. The host performs the work; the report is not a daemon that continues after quota or session interruption.
Try this in your coding agent.
/carbon-forever Keep investigating the disposable demo until I stop you; stay within that project.

Scope
I’m reviewing continuous disposable-demo investigation. I’ll keep the scope and permissions explicit.
First cycle
The first example cycle inspects cart quantities and totals.
Next gap
Refresh and retry paths follow the initial cart-total check.
Next cycle
I’m choosing the next uncovered state transition rather than repeating the same happy path.
Stop
Each cycle follows the next useful gap until stopped. This short illustration stops; real execution still respects permissions and stop controls.

/carbon-settings
Manage CARBON's private local test-execution profile and preferences.
Jay · Your AI test managerTesting operations
When to use it
You need to inspect or change local execution defaults.
Before you start
Review scope, browser permissions, credentials and limits in the protected local interface. Secrets belong in protected storage, not examples, screenshots or exported reports.
Try this in your coding agent.

/carbon-human
Ask, retain, and record the smallest set of project-specific human decisions that materially change CARBON confidence, readiness, risk, test selection, or release interpretation.
Jay · Your AI test managerTesting operations
When to use it
Business intent or risk tolerance cannot be inferred from code.
Before you start
Answer only consequential questions and retain unknowns explicitly. Human context informs the judgment; silence is not approval, and this command is not a mandatory gate for every test.
Try this in your coding agent.
