slash-IT

Writing complex prompts manually every time you need to reuse them is a waste of cycles. This skill converts your previous chat messages into persistent, reusable slash commands that live in your global or project-specific configuration.

What it does

• Instant Persistence saves your last message exactly as written to a named slash command.
• Prompt Optimization refines your previous message for clarity and grammar before saving.
• Dynamic Parameterization transforms static prompts into templates using $ARGUMENTS or positional variables like $1.
• Instructional Reshaping modifies the intent of a previous prompt based on new specific constraints.
• Command Management provides a searchable list of all active global and repository-specific commands.

How it works

1. Send a prompt to the agent that you want to reuse later.
2. Run create-cmd <name> to save it verbatim or use create-cmd-optimise to let the skill clean it up first.
3. Use create-cmd-args if you want to leave placeholders for future inputs.
4. Specify --global to use the command in any project or --project to keep it scoped to your current directory.

Frameworks & tools

The skill manages files within ~/.claude/commands/ or local .claude/commands/ directories. It is designed for environment-aware prompt management.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Manually copying prompts into a notepad or system file breaks flow. This skill automates the extraction and formatting of successful prompts into executable commands without leaving the terminal or chat interface.

Use cases

• Save a complex code review checklist as /review-pr.
• Create a parameterized /refactor $1 command for specific languages.
• Build a project-specific /tech-stack command that injects your local architecture details.
• List all available custom shortcuts when onboarding a new developer to a repo.

Known limitations

Requires specific directory permissions to write to ~/.claude/commands/. Parameters must be manually mapped if using advanced logic beyond simple variable substitution.
