Slash commands

Slash commands are a powerful feature that allows you to control Claude's behavior during an interactive session. They serve as quick, flexible shortcuts for various actions and workflows.

Key Features:

• Built-in commands: Like /clear, /help, /model for core functionality
• Custom commands: User-defined, project-specific, or personal commands
• MCP commands: Commands provided by Model Context Protocol servers
• Customization: Support arguments, file references, bash command execution, and frontmatter configuration
• Flexibility: Can be simple single-line prompts or complex multi-step workflows

Slash commands provide a streamlined, programmable interface to enhance productivity and interaction with Claude. They're easily shareable across projects and teams.
