Slash Commands

Purpose

Turn a workflow you repeat into a command you invoke. A slash command is an explicit, user-triggered prompt — as distinct from a skill, which the model decides to load on its own.

When to Use

• A prompt you find yourself retyping.
• A multi-step workflow with a fixed shape: review, release, triage, summarize.
• A team workflow that everyone should run the same way.
• Anything you want to invoke deliberately, rather than have the model choose.

Capabilities

• Command authoring with arguments.
• Composing tool calls and shell commands into a workflow.
• Scoping: project-level, personal, or bundled in a plugin.
• Distinguishing command from skill.
