Commands

Commands are single-file assets that define custom slash commands available to coding agents during a session.

Directory layout

commands/
├── deploy-all.md
└── review-pr.md

File format

Each command is a markdown file whose base filename becomes the slash command name. For example, deploy-all.md registers as /deploy-all. The file contains the instructions the agent follows when the command is invoked. Frontmatter is optional.

Deploy behavior

nd symlinks the individual file into the target location. Running nd deploy commands/deploy-all produces:

~/.claude/commands/deploy-all.md → <source>/commands/deploy-all.md
