You can build custom Claude slash commands by defining the command purpose, writing YAML frontmatter and body, handling arguments, and formatting everything as instructions for Claude. This skill provides structured workflows for creating single-phase, multi-phase, or skill-invoking commands.

Claude slash commands require YAML frontmatter, a body written as instructions for Claude, proper argument handling, and bash execution logic. Commands can be single-phase or multi-phase, and must pass validation checklists to ensure quality standards.

You validate slash commands by applying a comprehensive checklist that verifies correct formatting, effective structure, and proper instruction syntax. This ensures commands properly handle frontmatter, arguments, and multi-phase design.

The best way to improve existing Claude slash commands is using a structured approach to identify and fix issues in command structure, YAML frontmatter, argument handling, and bash execution. This ensures enhancements meet validation standards and best practices.

Yes, you can build multi-phase slash commands that invoke other skills. This skill facilitates multi-phase command design, allowing you to structure commands that execute in sequential phases and integrate with other skills for complex workflow automation.

Slash commands should be written as instructions for Claude because they function as workflow automation directives guiding Claude's processing logic, not as user-facing text. Writing explicit instructions ensures accurate bash execution, argument handling, and multi-phase command behavior.
