Commands Cheat Sheet

Comprehensive list of all available commands

What are Slash Commands?
Think of slash commands as magic shortcuts 🪄 — just type /command and let AI do the heavy lifting! No coding required, just tell ClaudeKit what you want.

Example

/ck:cook "add a login button" AI builds the entire feature for you! 🎉
New Command Syntax

Quick reference if you're coming from an older version

All Commands → Skills: All legacy commands migrated to skills. You can use either /cook or /ck:cook, but using the /ck: prefix is recommended to avoid conflicts with Claude Code built-in commands.

Migration Reference

Old Command New Command
/debug /ck:debug
/plan /ck:plan
/code @plan.md /ck:cook @plan.md
/code:no-test /ck:cook add footer --no-test
/code:parallel /ck:cook refactor api --parallel
/code:auto /ck:cook add pagination --auto
/plan:fast /ck:plan --fast add auth
/plan:hard /ck:plan --hard migrate to microservices

Claude Code v2.1.1+: Skills invocable via /skill-name [args] or /ck:skill-name — both work identically. Prefer /ck: prefix for skills that conflict with Claude Code built-in slash commands (e.g. /ck:plan instead of /plan).

Understanding the Symbols

Each command card breaks syntax into small pieces: the command name, a subcommand, optional switches, and the parts you fill in yourself.

How to read command syntax
General template
/<command> [subcommand] [your request] --flag

Start with the full command name, such as /ck:plan or /ckm:seo. If the syntax includes a subcommand, put it after the command name. Replace [] with your real request, then add any flag you need.

Common order when reading a command
1 Required
/ck:plan
Start with the command name
2 Use when needed
archive
Add the subcommand if the command syntax includes one
3 Fill if shown
[task]
Fill the [] or <> input
4 Optional
--fast
Add --... flags when you want to change how it runs

Not every card has all 4 parts. If a card only shows a command name and flags, use the command name first, then add the flag. [] and <> are guide markers only. When using the command, replace them with concrete content and do not keep the markers.

What each part means
/ck:plan
Command name Required

The first part of the command. Copy this name when you want to run that workflow.

archive
Subcommand Use when needed

Put this after the command name to choose a specific job, such as archive, validate, or red-team.

--fast
Run option Optional

Starts with -- . Add a flag when you want a faster, deeper, or more automatic run.

[search-target]
What you fill in Fill if shown

Text in [] marks an input slot. When using the command, replace it with the concrete file, topic, question, or target; do not keep the [] .

<template>
Value to replace Required if shown

Text in <> is a required value. When using the command, replace it with a concrete value; do not keep the <> .

/ckm:plan:*
Grouped commands Do not type *

* means the card groups several variants. When using the command, pick one concrete variant.

Chip colors on cards
subcommand Purple chips are subcommands or modes under the command.
argument Gray chips are user input slots or examples to replace.
--flag Teal chips are optional flags you can add after the command.
Card color: the section color groups commands by job area. It is not a warning level.
Sample prompts
1 Plan a change
/ck:plan refactor the checkout page to reduce payment errors --deep

Use when the task needs a deeper implementation plan before coding.

2 Fix a bug
/ck:fix mobile menu overlaps content --quick

Use when there is a concrete broken behavior to diagnose and repair.

3 Commit and push
/ck:git cp

Use after reviewing the diff when the change is ready to commit and push.

Here, /ck:plan is the command, the checkout refactor is the real request, and --deep is the chosen flag.

Token Consumption /skill

⚡ = Token Consumption - Estimated context size when skill is activated. For reference only.

Weight-based means the token cost scales with the skill prompt size. A ⚡ skill loads <5K tokens into context, while ⚡⚡⚡⚡ loads 50K-100K and reduces the remaining conversation budget.

New skills and enhancements in Engineer Kit Beta

/ck:coding-agent-orchestration new

Orchestrate multiple coding agents in one workflow

New skill: picks the right agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Cursor, Amp, Droid, Antigravity) for each stage, splits work safely, and keeps one final integrator.

[task or workflow]
--single --sequential --parallel --review-loop
/ck:advise new

Trusted advisor interview before you plan or build

New skill: reframes a raw idea, issue URL, or spec into exact requirements and goals, then returns honest unfiltered advice — never implements.

[prompt-or-url]
--html --md --wiki --github --agent
/ck:fable-thinking new

[task or question]
/ck:issue-to-plan new

Issue → scout → gate → plan branch (no implement)

New skill: hard audit/brainstorm gate before any planning; only on pass: validate, red-team, push plan branch, issue handoff.

/ck:review-pr enhanced

New --merge: merge a ready PR and watch CI

Beta adds --merge after review: merge a ready GitHub PR via gh, then watch post-merge CI to green.
GitHub-only surface again (no glab). Compose with --fix / --reply. Stable still documents --fix + --reply only.

<PR number or URL>
--fix --reply --merge
/ck:cook enhanced

--advice supervision + --auto means all steps

New composable --advice runs cook under kongming advisory supervision (pass-through on ship handoff).
--auto now auto-approves all steps (stable still: low-risk only + high-risk stop). Plus brainstorm-first hard gate before plan/implement.

--advice --auto
