Quick-reference card for all Sina modes, skills, and commands. One-shot display, not a persistent mode. Trigger: /sina-help, "sina help", "what sina commands", "how do I use sina".

Display this reference card when invoked. One-shot, do NOT change mode or persist anything.

Levels

Level	Trigger	What changes
Lite	`/sina lite`	State assumptions; one cheap check; confidence label.
Full	`/sina`	Full scientific loop: hypotheses → experiment → uncertainty. Default.
Deep	`/sina deep`	Extended design, literature verification, full report, methods critique.
SOTA	`/sina sota`	Adds SOTA scientist-agent patterns: retrieval grounding, generate/debate/evolve, evaluator-driven search, independent review, safety checks.

Level sticks until changed or session end.

Skills

Skill	Trigger	What it does
sina	`/sina`	Scientific method mode. Evidence before claims.
sina-review	`/sina-review`	Hunt unsupported claims: `L42: guess. No repro. Run failing case.`
