# Command Guidelines Author, merge, simplify, and distill reusable user-invocable prompt files (sometimes called slash commands, custom commands, or user prompts depending on the agent harness). ## Core Principles - **Generic by Default**: strip project-specific paths, domain terms, and tech names at author time so prompts reuse across projects - **Match Style and Voice**: preserve the target's structure, voice, formatting when merging - **Structure Integrity**: frontmatter, Arguments, and Delegation are the essential thin-command sections; the owning skill carries the procedure, output, and errors - **Safe Modifications**: preview changes (`--dry-run`) before applying - **Deletion-first editing**: a simplify or distill pass cuts at least as much as it adds, and reuses existing vocabulary rather than coining new terms; **skill-guide** owns this rule - **Bound the Body**: target 15-40 lines for a delegating command and <150 lines for a harness that cannot delegate - **Delegate, Don't Duplicate**: a command owns its argument contract and delegates the procedure to a guideline skill via the `Skill` tool; the skill is the single source of truth, the command a thin, stable interface - **Depend on Skills Two Ways**: depend **hard** (name the exact skill, and add it to the plugin's `dependencies` when the harness installs them) when one specific skill is always required, or **soft** (describe the capability and let the agent select an installed skill, degrading gracefully) wh
