Use Command Template

I need to create a new command using the standard template for: $ARGUMENTS

Your Task

Create a new Claude Code command following our established patterns and templates.

Execution Steps

1. Determine Command Type

   • Parse command purpose from $ARGUMENTS
   • Identify appropriate category (analysis/development/quality/etc)
   • Choose suitable command name (verb-noun format)

2. Apply Template

   • Start with base template from command-template.md
   • Customize sections for specific command purpose
   • Ensure all required sections are included
   • Add command-specific flags if needed

3. Configure Integration

   • Check command-patterns.yml for workflow placement
   • Identify prerequisite commands
   • Define what context this command produces
   • Add to appropriate workflow chains

4. Create Command File

   • Determine correct folder based on category
   • Create .md file with command content
   • Verify @include references work correctly
   • Test with example usage

Template Structure

The standard template includes:

• Purpose (single sentence)
• Task description with $ARGUMENTS
• Phased execution steps
• Context preservation rules
• Expected output format
• Integration guidance

Best Practices

• Keep commands focused on a single responsibility
• Use clear verb-noun naming (analyze-dependencies, create-component)
• Include at least 3 example usages
• Define what gets cached for reuse
• Specify prerequisite and follow-up commands

Example Usage

# Create a new analysis command
/development:use-command-template analyze API endpoints for rate limiting needs

# Create a new validation command
/development:use-command-template validate database migrations for safety

# Create a new generation command
/development:use-command-template generate Pydantic classes from API schema
