The Cointacted Social Terminal includes a powerful, interactive help system that makes it easy for users to discover commands, explore features, and search functionality instantly.

You don’t need to memorize anything — the terminal can autocomplete your understanding on the fly.

This article explains all help commands with examples.

1. Show All Command Groups #

To view everything the terminal can do, type:

help

Example output:

Available command groups:

  CORE - 9 commands
  USER - 2 commands
  SITE - 2 commands
  WALLET - 6 commands
  NETWORK - 1 command
  CLIENT - 2 commands
  FUN - 3 commands
  ADMIN - 1 command

Tip: type 'help wallet' to see commands in a group.
Tip: type 'help search gas' to search commands by text.

This is the best starting point for new users.

2. Show Commands Inside a Specific Group #

You can view all commands inside any group by typing:

help <groupname>

Examples:

help wallet
help core
help fun
help admin

If you type:

help wallet

You get:

WALLET commands:
  wallet         - Show connected wallet address.
  chain          - Show connected chain info.
  gas            - Show current gas price.
  block          - Show latest block number.
  txcount        - Show your current transaction count (nonce).
  metamask       - Connect/disconnect MetaMask (same as MetaMask button).

This is extremely helpful for learning category-based commands.

3. Search Commands by Keyword #

You can search every command across all groups:

help search <keyword>

Examples:

help search gas
help search login
help search admin

This scans:

• command names
• command aliases
• text descriptions

And prints all matching commands.

This is perfect when you don’t remember the group or name of a command but remember part of what it does.

4. How the Help System Works Internally #

The help engine uses:

• The command registry
• Group metadata
• Aliases (help includes them)
• Natural string searches
• Permissions (admin commands appear only to admins)
• Add-ons (automatically inject their own groups and commands)

This means:

👉 When you install an add-on, it appears automatically in help and in search.
👉 When you add developer commands, they appear automatically too.

No configuration required.

5. Tips for Using the Help System #

• Use help often when testing or exploring
• Use help wallet to see all Web3-related commands
• Use help user to see what applies to the current account
• Use help search <word> when you forget the command name
• Add-ons will expand the help list automatically
