How does this skill help with debugging?

It identifies common points of failure in shell expressions and provides patterns to rewrite them so they handle empty results or missing files gracefully without crashing.

What are context expressions in Claude Code?

Context expressions are bash commands wrapped in backticks and prefixed with an exclamation mark (!) used in slash command files to dynamically provide Claude with relevant workspace data.

Why must these commands always exit with code 0?

Claude Code expects context gathering commands to succeed; if a shell command returns a non-zero exit code (error), it can cause the entire slash command to fail or halt the interaction.

Where are slash command files located?

Slash command definitions are typically stored as markdown files within the .claude/commands/ directory of your local project repository.

Optimizes Claude Code slash commands by implementing safe context expressions and robust bash execution patterns.

关于

This skill provides specialized guidance for developers creating custom slash commands within the Claude Code environment. It focuses on the technical nuances of writing resilient context expressions—specifically backtick-wrapped bash commands—that prevent execution failures by ensuring shell commands return success codes even when results are empty. By following these patterns, users can build more reliable workspace automations, master file discovery logic using find and ls, and effectively debug command execution errors in their .claude/commands configuration files.
