💖 NAME 💖

/caps — the Profanity /caps command, bestie. That's it, that's the whole name 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so this is the one that lets you peek at what client software a contact or a room member is running 👀 like, what app are they using on the other end? /caps tells you. no cap.

and here's the cute part: if you're in a private chat that got initiated from a chat room</>, you don't need to pass any parameter at all — it just knows 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/caps

/caps <fulljid>|<nick>

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • <fulljid> — use this when you're chillin' in the console or a chat window and you wanna see the capabilities for a specific full JID. drop the whole user@server/resource situation in there and you're golden ✨
  • <nick> — use this one when you're in a chat room and you wanna see the capabilities of one specific member. just the nickname, nothing extra 💅

💜 EXAMPLES 💜

/caps ran@cold.sea.org/laptop

/caps ran@cold.sea.org/phone

/caps aegir

lowkey iconic, right? three lil examples, three lil vibes — two full JIDs (one laptop, one phone, ran is booked and busy 💀) and one plain nickname when you're in a room 🌈

and that's the whole page, bestie! this one comes to you from the Profanity XMPP client manual, man(1) section, version 0.18.2, dated 2026-06-08 🎀 go forth and vibe check some capabilities, mwah 💖✨
