Configuration
Commands & skills
Save reusable prompts and run them from the composer by typing /name. Commands and skills turn your repeated instructions into one-keystroke actions.
Commands vs. skills#
| Kind | What it is |
|---|---|
| Command | A reusable prompt. Running it expands its full prompt text into the composer, ready to send or tweak. |
| Skill | The same idea, tagged as a skill (with a badge in the menu) — handy for grouping richer, multi-step prompts. |
Creating one#
- 1Open the editorUse the + in the composer (Create command / Create skill), or Settings → Commands & Skills.
- 2Fill it inGive it a name (the
/nametrigger), a short description, and the prompt text that gets inserted. - 3SaveIt's saved instantly and appears under Your commands & skills in the slash menu.
Running one#
In any workspace, type / and start the name. Your custom commands appear at the top of the menu (skills carry a skill badge), above the built-in Claude Code slash commands. Selecting a custom command inserts its full prompt so you can review or edit before sending.
Built-ins too
The same menu also surfaces Claude Code's built-in slash commands discovered in the worktree. Those insert
/name verbatim and pass straight through to the CLI. See The agent chat → Slash commands.Managing#
In Settings → Commands & Skills you can edit or delete any saved command. Changes apply immediately across every workspace.
