command-development

What the skill teaches

A skill in the plugin-dev plugin from Anthropic's official Claude Code plugin directory that guides the agent in writing slash commands. It explains that commands are Markdown prompts addressed to Claude rather than to the user, where project, personal and plugin commands live, and that skill folders are now preferred over the older commands folder. It covers the optional frontmatter fields for description, allowed tools, model, argument hint and blocking model invocation, capturing arguments as one string or by position, including file contents with the at sign, running shell commands inline for context, grouping larger sets into namespaces, and the plugin root variable for bundled files. Examples and reference files cover advanced workflows and testing.
