Can I run shell commands within a Claude Code skill?

Yes, the skill supports dynamic context injection using backtick syntax, which allows you to run shell commands to gather data (like git diffs) before the content is sent to the model.

What is the difference between a command and a skill in Claude Code?

Commands are simple single-file workflows typically used for manual tasks like deployments, while skills are directory-based and can include supporting reference files, background knowledge, and automatic context loading.

How do I pass arguments to a custom command?

You can use the $ARGUMENTS placeholder in your skill content to capture user input. You can also access specific arguments using shorthand like $0, $1, or $2.

When should I use 'disable-model-invocation'?

You should set this to true for workflows with side effects, such as committing code, sending messages, or deploying, to prevent Claude from triggering the action automatically without a direct user command.
