Can this skill help me create my own commands?

Yes, it includes built-in guidance on the required markdown format and YAML frontmatter needed to register and document new workspace-specific commands.

What happens if I type a command as a message?

This skill detects the leading slash, explains that it looks like a command, and provides instructions or an option to execute it correctly instead of treating it as plain text.

Where does the skill look for commands?

It searches in your local .claude/commands/ directory, global ~/.claude/commands/, and within the command subdirectories of any installed plugins.

Why is this better than putting command help in the system prompt?

It saves valuable context window space by dynamically loading specific command information only when you need it, rather than keeping all documentation in the active prompt.

Does this skill support plugin-specific commands?

Absolutely; it automatically discovers, indexes, and provides help documentation for commands provided by third-party plugins installed in your environment.

Learning & Documentation

Guides users in discovering and correctly executing slash commands within the Claude Code environment.

This skill optimizes the Claude Code experience by intercepting slash commands typed as standard text messages, preventing execution errors and saving context window space. It serves as an interactive documentation layer that dynamically scans workspace-specific commands, global user commands, and installed plugins to provide real-time usage guidance, argument hints, and functional descriptions. By automating the discovery process, it ensures developers can efficiently navigate their custom toolset and leverage the full extensibility of Claude Code without manual documentation lookups.
