Where should I store my custom commands?

Store project-specific commands in .claude/commands/ and global personal commands that you want available in every project in ~/.claude/commands/.

What is the purpose of 'allowed-tools' in the YAML frontmatter?

The 'allowed-tools' field specifies which capabilities Claude is permitted to use when running that specific command, such as Read, Write, or restricted Bash access (e.g., Bash(git:*)).

What is a Claude Code slash command?

A slash command is a Markdown file stored in your project or user directory that contains instructions for Claude to execute, allowing you to reuse complex prompts and automate repetitive tasks.

How do I pass arguments to a custom command?

You can use $ARGUMENTS to capture the entire input string, or use positional variables like $1, $2, and $3 to reference specific words or parameters passed after the command name.

Can I run shell commands inside a Claude command?

Yes, by using the syntax !`your-command`, you can execute bash commands inline to gather dynamic context like git status or environment variables before Claude processes the prompt.
