GETTING-STARTED

An introduction to custom slash commands, which are shortcuts that package repeated instructions into a single chat command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn and try commands such as starting a feature, checking project status, or asking for a simple explanation.
Why use it?
They reduce back-and-forth when starting work or checking a project. A command can group steps such as creating a branch, checking dependencies, and making a plan.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add commands/eddiebelaval/squire/getting-started
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/eddiebelaval/squire
Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,909 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan C 1 finding. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

GETTING-STARTED scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 422 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Getting Started with Your Slash Commands

Welcome to your personal command center! 🎮


🎯 What Are Slash Commands?

Think of them as macros or shortcuts for common tasks. Instead of explaining the same things over and over, just type a command and Claude knows exactly what to do.

Without Commands:

You: "I want to build a new feature. First create a branch,
     then plan it out, make sure dependencies are installed,
     and set up the structure..."

Claude: "OK, let me..." [Long back and forth]

With Commands:

You: /start new-feature

Claude: ✅ Branch created
        ✅ Dependencies checked
        ✅ Plan created
        Ready to build!

🚀 Try Your First Command

Let's test it right now!

Step 1: Test the /status command

Just type in chat:
/status

This shows your current project state. Try it!

Step 2: Try /explain

Type:
/explain what is a component

See how it explains in simple terms? That's the power of custom commands.


💡 The 5 Commands You'll Use Most

1️⃣ /start [feature-name]

Use when: Beginning any new feature

Example:

/start user-notifications

What happens: Creates branch, checks setup, plans work


2️⃣ /test

Use when: Need to verify something works

Example:

/test
Check if signup form works on mobile

What happens: Opens browser, tests it, reports results


3️⃣ /fix

Use when: Something's broken

Example:

/fix
Button doesn't click

What happens: Investigates, finds issue, fixes it, tests


4️⃣ /preview

Use when: Before committing changes

Example:

/preview

What happens: Shows what changed, runs checks, confirms ready


5️⃣ /ship

Use when: Feature is done, ready to deploy

Example:

/ship

What happens: Commits, creates PR, ready for review

Let's build a simple feature end-to-end:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

GETTING-STARTED is a command published in the GitHub repository eddiebelaval/squire (21 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,909 tokens. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

deck

Turn a markdown planning doc into a spec-grade 기획서 HTML — a buildless, self-contained document by default, or an on-screen slide presentation when you ask for one. Deterministic md→deck transform + a quality/gap lint; the raw markdown travels with it. Use whenever the user wants a planning document turned into…

regression

Run accumulated regression across scv/archive//TESTS.md (and optionally promote/) with supersede/obsolete skip graph. On failure, triage each slug via AskUserQuestion (regression / obsolete / flaky). Use whenever the user asks whether past features still pass, or before archiving anything — 'run the tests', 'is…

routine

Execute one maintenance routine defined in scv/routines/ .md (task + guardrails + exit-criteria contract), or list defined routines. SCV never schedules — pair with host features like /loop or cron yourself. Use whenever the user asks to run a recurring maintenance task, or asks what routines exist — not only when…

handoff

Declare that another repo needs corresponding development: write a handoff (+ decision + conversation) into the workspace root scv repo. Multi-repo (nested) only. Use whenever work in this repo implies a change another repo must make — not only when they type /scv:handoff. Never leave that dependency in prose; this…

status

Show raw changes since last index + list of active promote plans. Use whenever the user asks what is in flight, what changed, or where things stand — not only when they type /scv:status. Never summarize project state from memory; this command reads it.
