SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates and standardizes the creation of Claude Code slash commands by providing a clear template for frontmatter and XML bodies, reducing setup time and errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Frontmatter-driven commands: Define name, description, and optional restrictions to control behavior and discovery.
  • XML-structured bodies: Ensure every command exposes an <objective>, <process>, and <success_criteria>, with optional <context>, <verification>, <testing>, and <output> as needed.
  • Argument handling patterns: Supports simple $ARGUMENTS, positional arguments ($1, $2, $3), and file references, enabling flexible command design.
  • Reusable templates: Provide a consistent base for git, code reviews, and analysis tasks across projects.

Quick Start

Create a new slash command by adding a Markdown file under .claude/commands with YAML frontmatter and an XML body.
