What is a Claude Code slash command?

A slash command is a reusable prompt stored in a markdown file that can be triggered in the Claude Code CLI using the /command-name syntax to automate specific developer tasks.

How do I include dynamic terminal output in a command?

You can use the exclamation mark prefix followed by backticks (e.g., ! `git status`) to execute a bash command and include its live output directly in your expanded prompt.

Where should I store my custom slash commands?

Store them in the .claude/commands/ directory for project-specific commands, or in ~/.claude/commands/ for commands you want accessible globally across all projects.

How do I pass parameters to my custom commands?

Use $ARGUMENTS for the entire input string or $1, $2, and $3 for specific positional arguments defined in your command's markdown file.

Can I restrict what tools Claude uses during a custom command?

Yes, you can use the 'allowed-tools' field in the YAML frontmatter to restrict Claude to specific tools like SequentialThinking or specific Bash operations like git commands.
