AWS amazonq documentation change

Service: amazonq · 2025-10-13 · Documentation low

File: amazonq/latest/qdeveloper-ug/q-in-IDE-chat.md

Summary

Updated documentation to replace command-based syntax with natural language requests for Amazon Q features. Changed section header from 'Chat commands' to 'Available features' and rephrased all feature descriptions to emphasize conversational interaction.

Security assessment

The changes focus on improving user experience by shifting from slash commands to natural language interactions. While the 'Code reviews' feature mentions security vulnerability detection, this is existing functionality being rephrased rather than a new security-related update. No vulnerabilities or security incidents are addressed in this documentation change.
