## What it does

The skill structures repetitive workflows into markdown files placed in `.claude/commands/` or `~/.claude/commands/`. It inspects your git environment first to pick between project-scoped and user-wide storage.

During the prompt exchange, it collects arguments, steps, and tool boundaries, enforcing kebab-case file names. Built-in reference documents supply archetypes for iterative test fixing, task delegation, and direct script runs.

Running this outside a git workspace routes the command to your home directory by default. Once saved, the new shortcut is ready to trigger via its slash identifier.

## When to use it
- convert repeated prompt steps into a persistent slash shortcut
- structure positional and optional parameters for custom actions
- separate local repository actions from machine-wide user workflows
- write step-by-step guidance tailored for autonomous subagents

## Example prompts
- Turn my test and build workflow into a slash command
- Create a global command that runs linter checks across files
- Build a project command that takes a branch name argument
