Reference for Claude Code slash commands, keyboard shortcuts, and input prefixes, plus the format for writing custom command skill files (SKILL.md frontmatter, triggers, args) in .claude/skills/ or plugin commands/ directories. Use when the user asks which slash command or shortcut does something, how to create or invoke a custom command, or how command resolution and plugin namespacing work.

## Custom Slash Commands

### Creating Custom Commands

Custom commands are skill files in `.claude/skills/` or plugin directories.

#### Skill File Format

```markdown
---
name: my-command
description: What this command does
triggers:
  - /my-command
  - /mc
args:
  - name: target
    description: Target to operate on
    required: false
---

# My Custom Command

Instructions for Claude when this command is invoked.

## Steps
1. Do this first
2. Then do this
3. Finally do this

## Rules
- Always follow this pattern
- Never do this other thing
```

#### Plugin Command Format

Commands in plugin `commands/` directories:

```markdown
# Command Name

Description of what the command does.

## Usage
\`\`\`
/plugin-prefix:command-name [args]
\`\`\`

## Arguments
- `arg1` — Description
- `--flag` — Description

## Implementation

When this command is invoked:
1. Step one
2. Step two
3. Step three
```

### Command Resolution Order

1. Built-in commands (highest priority)
2. Project skills (`.claude/skills/`)
3. Installed plugin commands
4. User-level skills (`~/.claude/skills/`)

### Invoking Custom Commands

```
# Direct invocation
/my-command

# With arguments
/my-command some-argument

# Plugin-namespaced command
/plugin-name:command-name

# Via Skill tool (programmatic)
Skill(skill="my-command", args="some-argument")
```

## Plan Mode Details

When `/plan` is active:
1. Claude analyzes the request
2. Writes a step-by-step plan to a plan file
3. Calls `ExitPlanMode` to present plan to user
4. User reviews and approves/modifies/rejects
5. On approval, Claude executes the plan

### Plan Mode Permissions
- Read-only tools work normally
- Write/Edit/Bash require plan approval first
- Use `AskUserQuestion` for clarifications during planning
- Use `ExitPlanMode` when plan is ready (not `AskUserQuestion`)

## Context Management Commands

### /compact
Compresses the conversation to free up context window space.

```
/compact                    # Default compression
/compact focus on the API   # Compress with focus on API-related content
```

**When to use:**
- Context window is getting large
- Conversation has covered many topics
- You want to focus on a specific area

**How it works:**
- Summarizes previous conversation
- Preserves key decisions and context
- Reduces token count significantly
- Maintains file state awareness

### /clear
Starts a completely fresh conversation.

```
/clear
```

**When to use:**
- Switching to unrelated task
- Want a clean slate
- Context is too polluted

**Difference from /compact:**
- `/compact` preserves summarized context
- `/clear` removes all context entirely
