Command Orchestration Patterns

Commands can be used individually or combined in powerful patterns:

Sequential Execution

# Build → Test → Secure → Deploy pipeline
/api-scaffold user management API
/test-harness comprehensive test suite for user API  
/security-scan check user API for vulnerabilities
/k8s-manifest deploy user API to production

Parallel Analysis

# Multiple perspectives on the same codebase
/multi-agent-review comprehensive architecture and code review

/performance-optimization identify and fix bottlenecks
# Then consolidate findings

Iterative Refinement

# Start broad, then narrow focus
/feature-development implement payment processing

/api-scaffold backend payment API
/multi-agent-optimize optimize payment flow performance
/docker-optimize containerize payment service
/monitor-setup payment metrics and alerts

When to Use Workflows vs Tools

🔀 Workflows & Subagent Tools

• Problem-solving: Analyze and fix issues adaptively
• Multiple perspectives: Coordinate specialist subagents
• Complex tasks: Multi-step processes across domains
• Unknown solutions: Let subagents determine approach

🛠️ Specialized Tools

• Infrastructure setup: Configure environments
• Code generation: Create specific implementations
• Analysis: Generate reports without fixes
• Domain tasks: Highly specialized operations

Examples:

• "Implement user authentication system" → /feature-development
• "Fix performance issues across the stack" → /smart-fix
• "Modernize legacy monolith" → /legacy-modernize

🔧 Use Tools When:

• Specific expertise needed - Clear, focused task in one domain
• Precise control desired - Want to direct specific implementation details
• Part of manual workflow - Integrating into existing processes
• Deep specialization required - Need expert-level implementation
• Building on existing work - Enhancing or refining previous outputs

Examples:

• "Create Kubernetes manifests" → /k8s-manifest
• "Scan for security vulnerabilities" → /security-scan
• "Generate API documentation" → /doc-generate

Command Format

Slash commands are simple markdown files where:

• The filename becomes the command name (e.g., api-scaffold.md → /api-scaffold)
• The file content is the prompt/instructions executed when invoked
• Use $ARGUMENTS placeholder for user input

Best Practices

Command Selection

• Let Claude Code suggest automatically - Analyzes context and selects optimal commands
• Use workflows for complex tasks - Subagents coordinate multi-domain implementations
• Use tools for focused tasks - Apply specific commands for targeted improvements

Effective Usage

• Provide comprehensive context - Include tech stack, constraints, and requirements
• Chain commands strategically - Workflows → Tools → Refinements
• Build on previous outputs - Commands are designed to work together

Contributing

1. Create .md file in workflows/ or tools/
2. Use lowercase-hyphen-names
3. Include $ARGUMENTS for user input

Troubleshooting

Command not found: Check files are in ~/.claude/commands/

Workflows slow: Normal - they coordinate multiple subagents

Generic output: Add more specific context about your tech stack

Integration issues: Verify file paths and command sequence

Performance Tips

Command Selection:

• Workflows: Multi-subagent coordination for complex features
• Tools: Single-purpose operations for specific tasks
• Simple edits: Stay with main agent

Optimization:

• Start with tools for known problems
• Provide detailed requirements upfront
• Build on previous command outputs
• Let workflows complete before modifications

Adding a New Workflow:

• Focus on subagent orchestration and delegation logic
• Specify which specialized subagents to use and in what order
• Define coordination patterns between subagents

Adding a New Tool:

• Include complete, production-ready implementations
• Structure content with clear sections and actionable outputs
• Include examples, best practices, and integration points
