You can define your own slash commands as Markdown files.

Place .md files in .maki/commands/ in your project root. They appear in the palette as /project:<filename>.

Place .md files in ~/.maki/commands/. They appear in the palette as /user:<filename>.

Project commands override user commands with the same name.

.claude/commands/ directories are also supported for compatibility.

You can add optional metadata at the top of the file between --- lines to set name, description, and argument-hint:

---
description: Review code for issues
argument-hint: <file>
---
Review $ARGUMENTS and suggest improvements.

Use $ARGUMENTS in the command body. It gets replaced with whatever you type after the command name.

For example, /project:review main.rs replaces $ARGUMENTS with main.rs.
