At a glance

Create and use Claude Code slash commands - quick prompts, bash execution, file references

  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Built-in Commands, Creating Commands and Command File Format, plus 7 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Slash Commands is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. Create and use Claude Code slash commands - quick prompts, bash execution, file references

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Hooks and plugins. It works with Bash and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Context management for Claude Code. Hooks maintain state via ledgers and handoffs. MCP execution without context pollution. Agent orchestration with isolated context windows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins

Example prompts

  • “/slash-commands”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash, yaml and markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Slash Commands loads about 954 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 192 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~954

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Creating Commands

Project Commands
bash
mkdir -p .claude/commands
cat > .claude/commands/optimize.md << 'EOF'
---
description: Analyze code for performance issues
---

Review this code for:
- Performance bottlenecks
- Memory leaks
- Caching opportunities
EOF
Personal Commands
bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/commands
cat > ~/.claude/commands/review.md << 'EOF'
---
description: Security-focused code review
---

Check for vulnerabilities:
- Input validation
- SQL injection
- XSS risks
EOF

Command File Format

yaml
---
description: Brief description for /help
allowed-tools: [Bash, Read, Write]  # Optional
argument-hint: "[file] [type]"       # Optional
---

Your markdown instructions here.
Use $1, $2 for arguments or $ARGUMENTS for all.

Bash Execution

Run bash before loading prompt with ! prefix:

yaml
---
allowed-tools: Bash(git:*), Bash(grep:*)
description: Git commit helper
---

Current status: !`git status`
Staged changes: !`git diff --staged`
Recent commits: !`git log --oneline -5`

Based on these changes, suggest a commit message.

Rules:

  • Must declare allowed-tools: Bash(...) in frontmatter
  • Use backticks: !`command`
  • Output is included in Claude's context

File References

Include files with @ prefix:

markdown
Review against @.claude/STYLE_GUIDE.md

Compare:
- @src/old.js
- @src/new.js

Refactor files matching @src/**/*.util.ts

Arguments

yaml
---
argument-hint: "[pr-number] [priority]"
---

Review PR #$1 with priority: $2

# Or use all arguments:
Fix issue #$ARGUMENTS

Usage:

bash
/review-pr 456 high
# $1 = "456", $2 = "high"

Namespacing

Organize with subdirectories:

.claude/commands/
├── frontend/
│   └── component.md    → /component (project:frontend)
└── backend/
    └── endpoint.md     → /endpoint (project:backend)

MCP Slash Commands

MCP servers expose prompts as commands:

bash
/mcp__github__list_prs
/mcp__github__pr_review 456
/mcp__jira__create_issue "Bug" high
