FAQPage Schema
How do I create Claude Code slash commands with proper structure?▼

Create commands by selecting a template (Basic, With Args, or Workflow), generating the command file in `.claude/commands/`, and structuring it with well-formed frontmatter, clear prompts, and consistent naming conventions that follow Claude Code standards.

What should I include in command frontmatter and validation?▼

Frontmatter must document arguments, define help text, and enforce naming standards. Validate your command against a standardized checklist covering structure, metadata completeness, and naming consistency before publishing.

Can I use templates to automate command generation?▼

Yes. Templates for Basic, With Args, and Workflow patterns automate file generation and enforce best practices, reducing manual setup and ensuring consistent structure across your command library.

What's the best way to document command arguments?▼

Document each argument in frontmatter with clear descriptions and type information. Use consistent naming and provide help text that explains purpose and expected values, making arguments discoverable and self-documenting.

When should I use the Workflow template instead of Basic?▼

Use the Workflow template when your command orchestrates multiple steps or requires sequential processing. Basic templates suit single-action commands; Workflow templates handle complex multi-step automation.
