What is the benefit of using 'context: fork' in a command?

Setting context to fork runs the command in an isolated sub-agent context, which prevents any side effects from impacting the main agent's state or history.

How do I pass arguments to a custom Claude Code command?

You can use $ARGUMENTS to capture the entire input string, or use $1, $2, etc., for specific positional arguments within your command's markdown file.

Can I execute shell commands within a slash command?

Yes, you can include dynamic Bash execution by prefixing backticked commands with an exclamation mark (e.g., !`git status`).

Where are project-specific slash commands stored?

Project-specific commands are stored as Markdown files within the .claude/commands/ directory of your project root.
