Skill Content

# Example Command (Skill Format) This demonstrates the `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` layout for user-invoked slash commands. It is functionally identical to the legacy `commands/example-command.md` format — both are loaded the same way; only the file layout differs. ## Arguments The user invoked this with: $ARGUMENTS ## Instructions When this skill is invoked: 1. Parse the arguments provided by the user 2. Perform the requested action using allowed tools 3. Report results back to the user ## Frontmatter Options Reference Skills in this layout support these frontmatter fields: - **name**: Skill identifier (matches directory name) - **description**: Short description shown in /help - **argument-hint**: Hints for command arguments shown to user - **allowed-tools**: Pre-approved tools for this skill (reduces permission prompts) - **model**: Override the model (e.g., "haiku", "sonnet", "opus") ## Example Usage ``` /example-command my-argument /example-command arg1 arg2 ```

command-creator

Authors Claude Code slash commands (`/name [args]` markdown files at `.claude/commands/<name>.md` or `<plugin>/commands/<name>.md`, plus the equivalent `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` directory format). Use whenever a new slash command is being designed, an existing command is being edited, an argument-driven workflow is being captured, shell injection is being added to gather live context (git diff, PR data, env), multi-phase command bodies are being structured, `argument-hint` and `arguments` frontmatter are being chosen, approval gates with AskUserQuestion are being inserted before destructive actions, or a command that fires the wrong way is being debugged. Triggers on "create a slash command", "build a /command", "add a plugin command", "make a /pr-summary", "write a command body", "shell injection in command", "argument design for command", "fix this command". Use even when the user does not say the word "command" but is asking for `/name` invocation with arguments, a side-effect workflow, or a context
