This skill contains shell command directives (!`command`) that may execute system commands. Review carefully before installing.

Diagnosing Command Configuration

Goal: reduce any /command problem to a single concrete fix.

A person inspects commands from the / menu (the Commands group) in the input box; an agent inspects by reading the command files at the locations below.

Two points that are often misunderstood: nested command names join with a colon (review/code.md becomes /review:code, not /review/code); and a command is a .md file whose file name is the command name.

1. Discovery order (earlier locations take precedence)

  1. Explicitly configured roots
  2. User ~/.zcode/commands
  3. User ~/.agents/commands
  4. Workspace .zcode/commands (from the current directory up to the repository root; every level counts)
  5. Workspace .agents/commands
  6. Enabled plugin command roots (lowest precedence)

Within a level, .zcode is scanned before .agents. Subdirectories are scanned recursively, and a nested path joins into the command name with a colon.
