Where should I store my custom Claude commands?

Project-specific commands should be placed in .claude/commands/ within your repository, while global personal commands belong in ~/.claude/commands/.

Can custom commands run terminal operations?

Yes, by using the ! prefix followed by a bash command. However, for security, you must explicitly list the permitted commands in the allowed-tools section of the file's frontmatter.

What is a Claude Code slash command?

A slash command is a user-invoked reusable prompt template stored as a Markdown file in the .claude/commands/ directory, designed for quick access to common instructions.

How do I pass arguments to a custom command?

You can use $ARGUMENTS to capture all input, or positional variables like $1, $2, and $3. You can also define default values using the syntax ${1:-default_value}.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the design and implementation of custom Claude Code slash commands for streamlined developer workflows.

About

This skill provides a standardized framework for creating, refining, and managing custom slash commands within Claude Code. It guides users through Anthropic's official specifications, including frontmatter configuration, complex argument handling using positional variables, and secure bash execution integration. By automating the boilerplate of Markdown-based command files, it enables developers to transform repetitive prompts and multi-step terminal operations into reusable, parameterized shortcuts that enhance both individual and team productivity.

Key Features

Intelligent argument handling setup including positional variables and default values
Secure bash execution configuration with granular tool restriction guidance
3 GitHub stars
Strategic guidance on choosing between commands, skills, and autonomous agents
Automated generation of command Markdown files with standardized frontmatter
Context-aware file referencing support using @file and glob pattern syntax

Use Cases

Transforming repetitive code review checklists into a parameterized /review command
Automating multi-step Git workflows and PR creation via custom CLI shortcuts
Creating project-specific environment setup and test runner commands for team onboarding
