Create custom slash commands that extend Claude Code with reusable prompts and workflows.
Commands vs Skills
Critical distinction:
| Aspect | Commands (This Skill) | Skills |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Reusable prompts invoked by users | Capability packages auto-triggered |
| Invocation | Explicit: /command-name args |
Automatic (model-triggered by context) |
| Location | commands/ directory |
skills/ directory with SKILL.md |
| Structure | Single .md file |
Directory with resources |
| Arguments | $1, $2, $ARGUMENTS |
No argument system |
Commands are user-initiated. Skills are model-initiated.
