This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a slash command", "add a command", "write a custom command", "define command arguments", "use command frontmatter", "organize commands", "create command with file references", "interactive command", "use AskUserQuestion in command", or needs guidance on slash command structure, YAML frontmatter fields, dynamic arguments, bash execution in commands, user interaction patterns, or command development best practices for Claude Code.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Command Development for Claude Code ## Overview Slash commands are frequently-used prompts defined as Markdown files that Claude executes during interactive sessions. Understanding command structure, frontmatter options, and dynamic features enables creating powerful, reusable workflows. **Key concepts:** - Markdown file format for commands - YAML frontmatter for configuration - Dynamic arguments and file references - Bash execution for context - Command organization and namespacing ## Command Basics ### What is a Slash Command? A slash command is a Markdown file containing a prompt that Claude executes when invoked. Commands provide: - **Reusability**: Define once, use repeatedly - **Consistency**: Standardize common workflows - **Sharing**: Distribute across team or projects - **Efficiency**: Quick access to complex prompts ### Critical: Commands are Instructions FOR Claude **Commands are written for agent consumption, not human consumption.** When a user invokes `/command-name`, the command content becomes Claude's instructions. Write commands as directives TO Claude about what to do, not as messages TO the user. **Correct approach (instructions for Claude):** …

How to install
mdr add tzachbon/smart-ralph/Command Development@sha256:cf4372aa8f5e86efThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
