Command Reference

Flint contributes its commands under the Flint: category in the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P). Many commands are context-driven — they act on a tree item or editor selection and appear in right-click menus rather than the palette.

Prerequisites

Connectivity requirements vary by group. Configuration, project, resource, resource.json, search, and script commands work offline with a valid flint.config.json. The default language server needs a configured gateway and API token. Designer, tag, and live Perspective profiling commands need the Designer Bridge module and a running, connected Designer — see Connecting the Designer.
