Where are custom slash commands stored?

Project-specific commands are stored in .claude/commands/ for team sharing, while personal, user-level commands reside in ~/.claude/commands/.

How do arguments work in custom commands?

You can use $ARGUMENTS to capture all text following the command, or use positional variables like $1, $2, and $3 to map specific user inputs to your prompt.

What are Claude Code slash commands?

Slash commands are specialized shortcuts that control Claude's behavior during interactive CLI sessions, allowing for quick execution of complex prompts, scripts, or system actions.

Can I run terminal commands inside a slash command?

Yes, you can prefix commands with an exclamation mark (!) within the markdown file to execute bash scripts and include their output directly in the AI's context.

What is the difference between a Skill and a Slash Command?

Slash commands require explicit user invocation (e.g., typing /review), whereas Skills provide domain-specific guidance and are automatically discovered by Claude based on the conversation context.

Productivity & Workflow

Optimizes developer workflows by enabling the creation, organization, and execution of custom slash commands within the Claude Code CLI.

About

The Slash Commands skill provides a comprehensive framework for extending Claude Code's interactive capabilities through custom-defined shortcuts. It allows users to create project-specific or global commands using Markdown, providing support for complex arguments, file references, and direct bash execution. By structuring common tasks—like PR reviews, unit testing, or environment checks—into simple slash commands, developers can significantly reduce repetitive prompting and ensure consistent execution of workflows across teams via shared configuration files stored in Git.

Key Features

Integrated Bash execution to include terminal output directly in prompts.
Support for positional arguments and catch-all variables for dynamic inputs.
Programmatic invocation via the SlashCommand tool for AI-driven automation.
0 GitHub stars
Custom command creation using simple Markdown files with frontmatter metadata.
Project-level and global command organization with directory-based namespacing.

Use Cases

Standardizing repetitive tasks like code reviews, unit test generation, and documentation updates.
Streamlining context management by using file references (@) within custom shortcuts.
Creating team-wide shortcuts for complex environment checks or build processes.
