Installation

Note: This repository uses the slash commands pattern. For a more modern approach, consider the Plugin Marketplace which provides similar functionality through a cleaner plugin architecture.

Slash Commands (This Repository)

hljs language-bash

# Navigate to Claude configuration directory
cd ~/.claude

# Clone the commands repository
git clone https://github.com/wshobson/commands.git

Plugin Marketplace (Alternative)

hljs language-bash

# Add the plugin marketplace
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/wshobson/agents

# Install plugin collections
/plugin install claude-code-essentials

Available collections include: claude-code-essentials, full-stack-development, security-hardening, data-ml-pipeline, infrastructure-devops, and more.

Command Invocation

Commands are organized in tools/ and workflows/ directories and invoked using directory prefixes:

hljs language-bash

# Workflow invocation
/workflows:feature-development implement OAuth2 authentication

# Tool invocation
/tools:security-scan perform vulnerability assessment

# Multiple argument example
/tools:api-scaffold create user management endpoints with RBAC

Alternative Setup (No Prefixes)

To invoke commands without directory prefixes, copy files to the root directory:

hljs language-bash

cp tools/*.md .
cp workflows/*.md .

# Then invoke directly
/api-scaffold create REST endpoints
/feature-development implement payment system

Command Selection Guidelines

Workflow vs Tool Decision Matrix

Criteria	Use Workflows	Use Tools
Problem Complexity	Multi-domain, cross-cutting concerns	Single domain, focused scope
Solution Clarity	Exploratory, undefined approach	Clear implementation path
Agent Coordination	Multiple specialists required	Single expertise sufficient
Implementation Scope	End-to-end features	Specific components
Control Level	Automated orchestration preferred	Manual control required

Workflow Selection Examples

Requirement	Recommended Workflow	Rationale
"Build complete authentication system"	`/workflows:feature-development`	Multi-tier implementation required
"Debug production performance issues"	`/workflows:smart-fix`	Unknown root cause, needs analysis
"Modernize legacy application"	`/workflows:legacy-modernize`	Complex refactoring across stack
"Implement ML-powered feature"	`/workflows:data-driven-feature`	Requires data science expertise

Tool Selection Examples

Task	Recommended Tool	Output
"Generate Kubernetes configs"	`/tools:k8s-manifest`	YAML manifests with best practices
"Audit security vulnerabilities"	`/tools:security-scan`	Vulnerability report with fixes
"Create API documentation"	`/tools:doc-generate`	OpenAPI/Swagger specifications
"Optimize Docker images"	`/tools:docker-optimize`	Multi-stage Dockerfile

Execution Best Practices

Context Optimization

Technology Stack Specification: Include framework versions, database systems, deployment targets
Constraint Definition: Specify performance requirements, security standards, compliance needs
Integration Requirements: Define external services, APIs, authentication methods
Output Preferences: Indicate coding standards, testing frameworks, documentation formats

Command Chaining Strategies

Progressive Enhancement: Start with workflows for foundation, refine with tools
Pipeline Construction: Chain commands in logical sequence for complete solutions
Iterative Refinement: Use tool outputs as inputs for subsequent commands
Parallel Execution: Run independent tools simultaneously when possible

Performance Considerations

Workflows typically require 30-90 seconds for complete orchestration
Tools execute in 5-30 seconds for focused operations
Provide detailed requirements upfront to minimize iteration cycles
Use saved context (context-save/context-restore) for multi-session projects

Technical Architecture

Command Structure

Each slash command is a markdown file with the following characteristics:

Component	Description	Example
Filename	Determines command name	`api-scaffold.md` → `/tools:api-scaffold`
Content	Execution instructions	Agent prompts and orchestration logic
Variables	`$ARGUMENTS` placeholder	Captures and processes user input
Directory	Command category	`tools/` for utilities, `workflows/` for orchestration

Development Guidelines

Creating New Commands

Workflow Development

File Creation: Place in workflows/ directory with descriptive naming
Agent Orchestration: Define delegation logic for multiple specialists
Error Handling: Include fallback strategies and error recovery
Output Coordination: Specify how agent outputs should be combined

Tool Development

File Creation: Place in tools/ directory with single-purpose naming
Implementation: Provide complete, production-ready code generation
Framework Detection: Auto-detect and adapt to project stack
Best Practices: Include security, performance, and scalability considerations

Naming Conventions

Use lowercase with hyphens: feature-name.md
Be descriptive but concise: security-scan not scan
Indicate action clearly: deps-upgrade not dependencies
Maintain consistency with existing commands

Troubleshooting Guide

Diagnostic Steps

Issue	Cause	Resolution
Command not recognized	File missing or misnamed	Verify file exists in correct directory
Slow execution	Normal workflow behavior	Workflows coordinate multiple agents (30-90s typical)
Incomplete output	Insufficient context	Provide technology stack and requirements
Integration failures	Path or configuration issues	Check file paths and dependencies

Performance Optimization

Context Caching: Use context-save for multi-session projects
Batch Operations: Combine related tasks in single workflow
Tool Selection: Use tools for known problems, workflows for exploration
Requirement Clarity: Detailed specifications reduce iteration cycles
