Writing Slash Commands

Create custom slash commands in `.claude/commands` directories to automate recurring tasks. Define commands with frontmatter configuration, argument handling, and bash integration to transform manual prompts into single, reusable invocations that apply consistent logic across projects.

Project-scoped commands live in `.claude/commands` within your project and apply only to that codebase, while personal commands reside in a user-level directory for access across all projects. Use project-scoped for team consistency and personal for individual workflows.

Yes. Use `$ARGUMENTS`, `$1`, `$2`, and numbered parameters to pass dynamic inputs, and reference files with `@` syntax to load content directly into your command prompt. This enables flexible, parameterized command templates.

Embed bash commands directly in your command files to fetch context, execute shell operations, or perform actions within your prompt. Bash integration runs automatically when the command is invoked, allowing dynamic context generation.

Yes. Create specialized commands like `/security-review [file]` or `/code-optimize` that combine file references, argument substitution, and your review prompts. This standardizes analysis and eliminates repetitive typing for common development tasks.

Basic familiarity with directory structure and frontmatter syntax helps, but the Skill supports straightforward markdown files with simple bash integration. Start with basic argument substitution before advancing to complex bash operations.
