# 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:

```markdown
---
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]
```
