FAQPage Schema

How do I create custom slash commands in Claude Code?▼

Create custom slash commands by writing Markdown files that define command logic, arguments, and actions. Store them in your project or user environment, then invoke them with the slash syntax. Commands support bash execution, file references, and frontmatter metadata for configuration.

Can I organize slash commands using namespacing?▼

Yes, organize custom slash commands in subdirectories to create namespaced commands like `/frontend:component` or `/review:pr`. This structure keeps commands logically grouped and easy to discover without cluttering your command namespace.

What can I do with bash execution and file references in slash commands?▼

Embed bash commands and file references directly within slash command definitions to create context-aware shortcuts. For example, fetch Git diffs or read project files automatically, then pass that data to Claude for analysis or processing.

Do custom slash commands work with plugins and MCP commands?▼

Custom slash commands work across built-in, plugin, and MCP slash commands in both project and user environments. You can create shortcuts that integrate with existing command ecosystems through the SlashCommand tool for programmatic invocation.

How do slash commands reduce repetitive typing in my workflow?▼

Slash commands turn complex, multi-step prompts into single-word shortcuts. Instead of retyping lengthy instructions, invoke a command once to execute the same task consistently, saving time and ensuring standardized processes across repeated actions.
