What is the benefit of using frontmatter in commands?

Frontmatter allows you to define metadata like argument hints for autocomplete, restrict which tools Claude can use, and specify which AI model should handle the command.

Can I run terminal commands within a slash command?

Yes, by using the '!' prefix followed by the bash command and ensuring the 'allowed-tools' section in the frontmatter includes 'Bash'.

Where should I store my custom Claude Code commands?

Project-specific commands go in '.claude/commands/', while personal commands available across all projects are stored in '~/.claude/commands/'.

How do I pass arguments to a custom command?

You can use '$ARGUMENTS' to capture all input provided after the command, or positional variables like '$1', '$2' for specific parameters.
