command-design is a command for Claude Code from peerjakobsen/smartspender. It costs 0 tokens per session (554 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design standard for slash commands, which are commands users invoke directly by typing a name such as /command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing command names, arguments, completion messages, and confirmation points for irreversible or login-related actions.
Why use it?
It helps commands stay focused, predictable, understandable, and safe when they need authentication or user confirmation.

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 A, and why

command-design scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 1mo 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Command Design Principles

Context

Commands are slash commands that users invoke directly. Each command triggers a specific workflow. This standard defines how to design commands that are intuitive and reliable.

Design Principles

One Command, One Job

Each command should do one clear thing. Don't combine unrelated actions.

Good: /smartspender:sync nykredit -- syncs transactions from one bank Bad: /smartspender:sync-and-analyze -- combining two distinct workflows

Predictable Arguments

Users should be able to guess valid arguments.

  • Bank commands accept bank IDs: nykredit, danske-bank
  • Time commands accept months: january, 2026-01
  • Service commands accept service names: netflix, spotify
  • Use all as a special argument when applicable: /smartspender:sync all

Clear Feedback

Every command should report what it did when finished.

Good: "Synced 47 new transactions from Nykredit (Jan 15 - Feb 1)" Bad: "Done."

Human-in-the-Loop by Default

Any step that requires authentication or irreversible action should pause for user confirmation.

Required handoff points:

  • Bank login (MitID)
  • Service login (for cancellation)
  • Final cancellation confirmation
  • Any action that spends money or changes account settings

Graceful Failure

Commands should handle common failures explicitly:

  • No internet / bank site down: "Could not reach Nykredit netbank. Please check your connection."
  • Session expired: "Bank session has expired. Please log in again with MitID."
  • No new data: "No new transactions found since last sync (Jan 28)."
  • MCP not configured: "Google Sheets MCP is not configured. Run /smartspender:add-account first."

Command Naming Rules

  • Use verbs for actions: sync, analyze, cancel
  • Use nouns for views: overview, report, subscriptions
  • Keep names short -- one word when possible
  • Use hyphens for multi-word: add-account
  • Namespace: all commands use /smartspender: prefix

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.

command-design is a command published in the GitHub repository peerjakobsen/smartspender (5 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 554 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
