example-command

An example legacy slash command: a reusable Markdown instruction that runs when the user types a command beginning with `/`.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a reference when building or understanding commands in the `commands/` directory.
Why use it?
It shows how command settings, arguments, permitted tools, and model choices are declared in the older command-file format.

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.

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

example-command 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to example-command — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Example Command (Legacy commands/ Format)

Note: This demonstrates the legacy commands/*.md layout. For new plugins, prefer the skills/<name>/SKILL.md directory format (see skills/example-command/SKILL.md in this plugin). Both are loaded identically — the only difference is file layout.

This command demonstrates slash command structure and frontmatter options.

Arguments

The user invoked this command with: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

When this command is invoked:

  1. Parse the arguments provided by the user
  2. Perform the requested action using allowed tools
  3. Report results back to the user

Frontmatter Options Reference

Commands support these frontmatter fields:

  • description: Short description shown in /help
  • argument-hint: Hints for command arguments shown to user
  • allowed-tools: Pre-approved tools for this command (reduces permission prompts)
  • model: Override the model (e.g., "haiku", "sonnet", "opus")

Example Usage

/example-command my-argument
/example-command arg1 arg2
Changes

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.
