Where are custom Claude Code commands stored?

Commands are stored as Markdown files within the .claude/commands/ directory of your project.

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

Slash Commands are manually invoked by the user using a forward slash, whereas Skills are automatically activated based on the conversation context.

How do I access arguments passed to a slash command?

You can access parameters using positional variables like $1 and $2 for specific inputs, or $ARGUMENTS to capture the entire input string.

Can I execute shell commands from within a custom slash command?

Yes, you can use the '!' prefix in the command body to execute bash scripts or CLI tools directly through Claude Code.

What is required in the command's YAML frontmatter?

At minimum, a command requires a 'name' (matching the filename in kebab-case) and a brief 'description' of its action.
