majiayu000 Beta Feature Activation
Activate early access to new Dex features using an activation code.
Usage
/beta-activate [CODE]
Or just /beta-activate and provide the code when prompted.
Process
Step 1: Get the Activation Code
If no code was provided with the command, ask:
What's your beta activation code?
> Enter your code (e.g., PILAUNCH2026)
Step 2: Validate the Code
Call the beta MCP to validate:
validate_beta_code(code="[USER_CODE]")
If invalid:
That code doesn't match any active beta features.
- Double-check for typos (codes are case-sensitive)
- Make sure you're using a current, unexpired code
- Contact support if you believe this is an error
If valid but already activated:
You've already activated [Feature Name]!
Run `/beta-status` to see your active betas, or `/pi` (example) to use the feature.
Step 3: Activate the Feature
If valid and not yet activated:
activate_beta_feature(code="[USER_CODE]")
Step 4: Show Welcome Message
Display activation confirmation:
# Welcome to [Feature Name] Beta!
**Version:** [version]
**Activated:** [timestamp]
## What You Can Do Now
[List capabilities from the feature config]
## Getting Started
[Read and display the instructions file content]
---
Have questions or feedback? Run `/beta-feedback [feature]` anytime.
Step 5: Load Instructions (if available)
Call:
get_beta_instructions(feature="[feature_key]")
If instructions exist, display them as part of the welcome message.
