Summary
- Commands are Markdown files with optional YAML frontmatter that define reusable prompts executed by Claude; organize them in .claude/commands/ (project), ~/.claude/commands/ (personal), or plugin directories
- Support dynamic arguments via $ARGUMENTS, $1, $2 syntax and file inclusion with @file-path to pass context directly to Claude
- Configure tool access, model selection, and command descriptions through frontmatter fields like allowed-tools, model, and argument-hint
- Execute bash commands inline with !backtick syntax` to gather dynamic context (git status, environment state) before Claude processes the command
- Organize commands in flat or namespaced structures; plugin commands access ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} for portable resource references and integrate with agents, skills, and hooks
