What it does

This skill should be used when creating a Claude Code slash command. Use when users ask to "create a command", "make a slash command", "add a command", or want to document a workflow as a reusable command. Essential for creating optimized, agent-executable slash commands with proper structure and best practices.

Command Creator

This skill guides the creation of Claude Code slash commands - reusable workflows that can be invoked with /command-name in Claude Code conversations.

About Slash Commands

Slash commands are markdown files stored in .claude/commands/ (project-level) or ~/.claude/commands/ (global/user-level) that get expanded into prompts when invoked. They're ideal for:

  • Repetitive workflows (code review, PR submission, CI fixing)
  • Multi-step processes that need consistency
  • Agent delegation patterns
  • Project-specific automation

When to Use This Skill

Invoke this skill when users:

  • Ask to "create a command" or "make a slash command"
  • Want to automate a repetitive workflow
  • Need to document a consistent process for reuse
  • Say "I keep doing X, can we make a command for it?"
  • Want to create project-specific or global commands

Bundled Resources

This skill includes reference documentation for detailed guidance:

  • references/patterns.md - Command patterns (workflow automation, iterative fixing, agent delegation, simple execution)
  • references/examples.md - Real command examples with full source (submit-stack, ensure-ci, create-implementation-plan)
  • references/best-practices.md - Quality checklist, common pitfalls, writing guidelines, template structure

Load these references as needed when creating commands to understand patterns, see examples, or ensure quality.

Command Structure Overview

Every slash command is a markdown file with:

---
description: Brief description shown in /help (required)
argument-hint: <placeholder> (optional, if command takes arguments)
---

# Command Title

[Detailed instructions for the agent to execute autonomously]
