Can I run terminal commands inside a Claude command?

Yes, you can use bash execution syntax (backticks preceded by an exclamation mark) to gather dynamic context like git status or environment variables.

Where should I store my custom Claude commands?

Use .claude/commands/ for project-specific commands and ~/.claude/commands/ for personal commands available across all your projects.

What is a Claude Code slash command?

A slash command is a Markdown file containing a specific prompt that Claude executes during an interactive session to standardize and automate common tasks.

What is the purpose of YAML frontmatter in commands?

Frontmatter allows you to configure command metadata, define which tools Claude can use, specify the AI model, and provide autocomplete hints for arguments.

How do I pass dynamic arguments to a command?

You can use $1, $2, etc., for positional arguments, or $ARGUMENTS to capture the entire input string provided after the command name.
