What is the difference between a command and a skill?

Slash commands are ideal for quick, repeatable workflows that fit in a single file and require manual triggers. Skills are better for complex capabilities across multiple files that require automatic discovery based on context.

Where should I store my custom Claude Code commands?

Project-specific commands should be stored in .claude/commands/, while personal commands that you want to use across all projects should be placed in ~/.claude/commands/.

How do I ensure a custom command is safe to use?

Use the allowed-tools frontmatter field to restrict the command to specific bash operations and file tools. Always include preflight checks to validate the environment before execution.

How can I validate my command structure?

You can use the provided validation script with the --minimal flag to check your markdown file for required frontmatter, sections, and structural integrity during development.

Guides the design, implementation, and validation of custom slash commands for Claude Code workflows.

The Custom Command Architect skill provides a standardized framework for building efficient, repeatable slash commands within the Claude Code environment. It helps developers determine when to use commands versus skills, provides templates for preflight checks and context gathering, and integrates advanced prompt engineering patterns. By following its structured methodology, users can ensure their custom commands are explicit, safe to execute, and capable of leveraging subagent delegation for complex automation tasks.
