command-writing

command-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from event4u-app/agent-config. It costs 43 tokens per session (3,584 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for creating or substantially editing slash commands in an agent project. Slash commands are user-triggered instructions such as `/deploy` or `/review`.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or rewriting a command under `src/agent-src/commands/`, including its frontmatter, numbered steps, and safety checks.
Why use it?
It helps keep commands structured, safe, and distinct from skills that the agent selects automatically. It also helps decide whether a requested workflow should be a command at all.

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-writing 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 350 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

command-writing

When to use

  • Creating a new slash command in src/agent-src/commands/{name}.md
  • Rewriting an existing command (not a typo fix)
  • Deciding whether a request should be a command at all
  • Splitting an oversized command into smaller ones

Do NOT use this skill when:

  • The content is a constraint the agent must always honor → use rule-writing
  • The content is reference knowledge agents cite → use guideline-writing
  • The content is a triggered workflow invoked by the model → use skill-writing

Command vs skill — critical test

Intent Artifact
"User types /foo to explicitly run this" Command
"Agent picks this up from description match" Skill

A command is user-invoked and carries disable-model-invocation: true. A skill is model-invoked via description routing. If both audiences apply, author as a skill and add a thin command that delegates to it.

A command must EARN a top-level slot. Only three justifications qualify: flow-entry, state-query, or product-surface — everything else is a skill. Check before authoring: command-clusters § Command justification (ADR-048).

Categorize at creation (checklist). When you author a NEW top-level command, declare its justification as a category: in the frontmatter — the schema enum is flow-entry | state-query | product-surface:

  • flow-entry — a daily work starting point the user TYPES to begin (work, git-commit, review-changes).
  • state-query — a read-only check (agent-status, project-health, profile).
  • product-surface — a feature started deliberately (council, research, roadmap).
  • fits none → it is a skill. Don't add the command; author a skill.
  • genuinely ambiguous? Omit category: and note why — category: is OPTIONAL (validate-when-present); deferring is intentional, not forgotten.

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.

command-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository event4u-app/agent-config (10 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 3,584 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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.
