Slash Command Encoder (Enhanced)

Overview

Creates fast, scriptable /command interfaces for micro-skills, cascades, and agents. This enhanced version includes automatic skill discovery, intelligent command generation, parameter validation, multi-model routing, and command chaining patterns.

Philosophy: Expert Efficiency

Command Line UX for AI: Expert users benefit from fast, precise, scriptable interfaces over natural language when performing repeated operations.

Enhanced Capabilities:

• Auto-Discovery: Scans and catalogs all installed skills automatically
• Intelligent Routing: Commands invoke optimal AI/agent for task
• Parameter Validation: Type-checked, auto-completed parameters
• Command Chaining: Compose commands into pipelines
• Multi-Model Integration: Direct access to Gemini/Codex via commands

Key Principles:

1. Fast and unambiguous invocation
2. Self-documenting through naming
3. Composable and scriptable
4. Type-safe parameter handling
5. Muscle memory for power users

When to Create Slash Commands

✅ Perfect For:

• Operations performed repeatedly (daily/weekly)
• Workflows that need exact parameters
• Tasks requiring scriptable automation
• Commands that compose into pipelines
• Expert user shortcuts

❌ Don't Use For:

• One-off exploratory tasks
• Operations needing natural language nuance
• Tasks better suited to interactive dialogue

Enhanced Creation Workflow

Step 1: Auto-Discovery Phase

Scan Installed Skills:

# Discovery algorithm
scan_directories:
  - ~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md
  - .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md

extract_metadata:
  - name (command base)
  - description (help text)
  - inputs (parameters)
  - outputs (return types)
  - integration_points (routing)

Catalog Generation:

discovered_skills:
  micro_skills: [extract-data, validate-api, refactor-code, ...]
  cascades: [audit-pipeline, code-quality-swarm, ...]
  agents: [root-cause-analyzer, code-reviewer, ...]
  multi_model: [gemini-megacontext, codex-auto, ...]

Step 2: Command Design (Enhanced)

A. Naming Conventions

Category Prefixes:

# Data operations
/extract-json, /validate-csv, /transform-xml

# Code operations
/lint-python, /test-coverage, /refactor-imports

# Agent invocation
/agent-rca, /agent-reviewer, /agent-architect

# Multi-model
/gemini-search, /codex-auto, /claude-reason

# Workflows
/audit-pipeline, /deploy-prod, /quality-check

Naming Rules:

• Verb-noun pattern: /validate-api, /extract-data
• Agent prefix: /agent-<specialty>
• Model prefix: /gemini-*, /codex-*
• Workflow descriptive: /audit-pipeline
• Max 3 words, hyphenated

B. Parameter Design

Parameter Types:

positional:
  - file_path (required, validated)
  - target (required, validated)

flags:
  --strict: boolean
  --format: enum[json, csv, xml]
  --output: file_path

options:
  --config: json_object
  --schema: file_path
  --model: enum[claude, gemini, codex]

Validation Schema:

interface CommandParameter {
  name: string
  type: 'string' | 'number' | 'boolean' | 'file_path' | 'enum'
  required: boolean
  default?: any
  validation?: RegExp | ((value: any) => boolean)
  description: string
  completion?: () => string[]  // Auto-complete options
}

C. Multi-Model Routing

Model Selection Flags:

# Explicit model selection
/analyze src/ --model gemini-megacontext  # Large context
/prototype feature.spec --model codex-auto  # Rapid prototyping
/reason bug-report.md --model codex-reasoning  # Alternative view
/review code.js --model claude  # Best reasoning (default)

# Auto-select based on task
/analyze-large-codebase  # Auto-routes to gemini-megacontext
/rapid-prototype  # Auto-routes to codex-auto
/search-current-info  # Auto-routes to gemini-search

Step 3: Command Implementation Structure

Command Definition Template:

command:
  name: /command-name
  version: 1.0.0

  description: |
    Brief description of what this command does

  category: data | code | agent | workflow | multi-model

  parameters:
    - name: input
      type: file_path
      required: true
      validation: file_exists
      description: Input file to process

    - name: --strict
      type: boolean
      default: false
      description: Enable strict validation

    - name: --model
      type: enum
      options: [claude, gemini-megacontext, gemini-search, codex-auto]
      default: auto-select
          

  
           
         
       

  
    
       
       
       

  
         
       

  
        
           

  
     
     
     

Step 4: Command Chaining & Composition

Pipeline Patterns:

# Sequential pipeline
/extract data.json | /validate --strict | /transform --format csv > output.csv

# Parallel fan-out
/analyze src/ --parallel [/lint + /security-scan + /test-coverage] | /merge-reports

# Conditional branching
/validate input.json && /deploy-prod || /generate-error-report

# Multi-stage workflow
/audit-pipeline src/ \
  --phase theater-detection \
  --phase functionality-audit --model codex-auto \
  --phase style-audit \
  --output report.json

Composition Interface:

interface ChainableCommand {
  execute: (input: any) => Promise<CommandResult>
  pipe: (next: Command) => ChainableCommand
  parallel: (commands: Command[]) => ParallelCommand
  conditional: (condition: boolean, ifTrue: Command, ifFalse: Command) => ConditionalCommand
}

Step 5: Auto-Completion & Help

Completion System:

# File path completion
/validate <TAB>  # Shows files matching pattern

# Parameter completion
/analyze --<TAB>  # Shows available flags

# Model completion
/analyze --model <TAB>  # Shows [claude, gemini-megacontext, codex-auto, ...]

# Command discovery
/<TAB>  # Shows all available commands by category

Help Generation:

/help command-name

  --phase theater-detection \
  --phase functionality-audit --model codex-auto \
  --phase style-audit --model claude \
  --output quality-report.json

Integration with Claude Code Command System

Command Registration

Auto-Registration Pattern:

# On skill installation, auto-register commands
.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md → parse → generate → .claude/commands/<command>.md

# Command file format
.claude/commands/validate-api.md:
---
name: validate-api
binding: micro-skill:validate-api
---
Validate API responses against OpenAPI schemas.
Usage: /validate-api <file> [--schema <schema>] [--strict]

Command Discovery

Discovery Mechanism:

on_startup:
  - scan ~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md
  - scan .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md
  - parse metadata (name, inputs, category)
  - generate command definitions
  - register with Claude Code CLI
  - build auto-completion index

on_update:
  - watch for skill changes
  - regenerate affected commands
  - update completion index

Parameter Validation

Validation Pipeline:

interface ValidationPipeline {
  // Type checking
  validateTypes: (params: any) => ValidationResult

  // File existence
  validatePaths: (paths: string[]) => ValidationResult

  // Enum constraints
  validateEnums: (values: any) => ValidationResult

  // Custom validators
  validateCustom: (value: any, validator: Function) => ValidationResult

  // Aggregate results
  aggregate: () => ValidationResult
}

// Before command execution
const result = validate(command, parameters)
if (!result.valid) {
  throw new ValidationError(result.errors)
}

Command Chaining Patterns

Pattern 1: Sequential Pipeline

# Data processing pipeline
/extract-json data.json | \
/validate-api --schema openapi.yaml | \
/transform-json --format csv | \
/generate-report --template summary

Pattern 2: Parallel Fan-Out

# Parallel quality checks
/analyze src/ --parallel [
  /lint-code,
  /security-scan --deep,
  /test-coverage,
  /complexity-analysis
] | /merge-reports --format html

Pattern 3: Conditional Branching

# Deploy based on quality
/validate-quality src/ && \
  /deploy-prod --environment production || \
  /generate-quality-report --notify team

Pattern 4: Iterative Refinement

# Refactor until quality threshold met
while [[ $(quality-score) -lt 85 ]]; do
  /refactor-code src/ --model codex-auto
  /test-coverage src/
done

Pattern 5: Multi-Model Cascade

# Research → Design → Implement → Test
/gemini-search "Best practices for feature X" | \
/agent-architect "Design feature X with best practices" | \
/codex-auto "Implement designed feature" | \
/functionality-audit --model codex-auto | \
/style-audit
