command-builder
🎯Skillfrom bsamiee/parametric_forge
Streamlines complex command generation by dynamically constructing shell and CLI commands with flexible parameter mapping and validation
Installation
npx skills add https://github.com/bsamiee/parametric_forge --skill command-builderSkill Details
Creates and configures Claude Code slash commands with YAML frontmatter, argument handling, and tool permissions. Use when building new commands, adding $ARGUMENTS or $1-$N parameters, configuring allowed-tools, organizing command namespaces, or fixing command failures.
Overview
# [H1][COMMAND-BUILDER]
>Dictum: Reusable prompt templates reduce repetition and enforce consistency.
Load commands from .claude/commands/ (project) or ~/.claude/commands/ (user). Filename becomes command name.
Tasks:
- Read [index.md](./index.md) — Reference file listing for navigation
- Read [workflow.md](./references/workflow.md) — 5-phase creation process
- Read [variables.md](./references/variables.md) — Argument capture, file references, skill loading
- Read [hints.md](./references/hints.md) — Argument-hint syntax, enum patterns
- (prose) Load
style-standardsskill — Voice, formatting, constraints - Execute per workflow — UNDERSTAND, ACQUIRE, RESEARCH, AUTHOR, VALIDATE
- Validate — Quality gate; see §VALIDATION

[1][FRONTMATTER]
>Dictum: Declarative constraints gate command execution.
```yaml
---
description: Brief description shown in /help menu
argument-hint: [required-arg] [optional-arg?]
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Task, Bash, TodoWrite
model: opus
---
```
| [INDEX] | [FIELD] | [TYPE] | [PURPOSE] | [SYNTAX] |
| :-----: | ------------------- | ------ | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| [1] | description | string | /help menu text | Verb-first. <80 chars. Outcome-focused. |
| [2] | argument-hint | string | Autocomplete guidance | [required] [optional?] [--flag]. |
| [3] | allowed-tools | list | Scoped tool permissions | Comma-separated tool names. |
| [4] | model | string | Override default model | Full model ID or alias. |
[IMPORTANT]:
- [ALWAYS] Use
---delimiters (three dashes, no spaces). - [ALWAYS] Quote strings containing
:,#,[,],{,}. - [NEVER] Use tabs; YAML requires spaces.
[CRITICAL]:
- [ALWAYS] Declare
Readfor every@pathreference. - [ALWAYS] Declare
Bashfor every!commandreference. - [NEVER] Omit required tools—command fails without output.
---
[2][MODELS]
>Dictum: Model selection balances capability against cost and latency.
[CRITICAL] Session inherits default model. Override for specific capability requirements.
| [INDEX] | [MODEL_ID] | [ALIAS] | [STRENGTH] | [LATENCY] | [COST] |
| :-----: | -------------------------------- | ------- | -------------------- | :-------: | :----: |

| [3] | claude-3-5-haiku-20241022 | haiku | Fast, simple tasks | Low | Low |
| [INDEX] | [CHARACTERISTIC] | [OPUS] | [SONNET] | [HAIKU] |
| :-----: | ------------------------ | :----: | :------: | :-----: |
| [1] | Multi-file scope | X | | |

| [3] | Standard development | | X | |
| [4] | Speed priority | | | X |
| [5] | Deep analysis | X | X | |

[3][VARIABLES]
>Dictum: Dynamic substitution enables reusable commands.
| [INDEX] | [SYNTAX] | [CAPTURES] | [REQUIRED_TOOL] | [USE_WHEN] |
| :-----: | ----------------- | --------------------- | --------------- | -------------------- |
| [1] | $ARGUMENTS | All args as string | None | Free-form input |
| [2] | $1, $2... | Positional parameters | None | Structured multi-arg |
| [3] | ${1:-val} | Default if missing | None | Optional parameters |
| [4] | @path | Include file contents | Read | File analysis |
| [5] | !command | Shell execution | Bash | Dynamic context |
[CRITICAL]:
- [NEVER] Mix
$ARGUMENTSand$1-$Nin same command. - [ALWAYS] Declare required tools for
@pathand!command.

[4][PATTERNS]
>Dictum: Canonical patterns accelerate development.
[4.1][FILE_ANALYSIS]
```markdown
---
description: Analyze file for issues
argument-hint: [file-path]
allowed-tools: Read
---
Target
@$1
Task
Identify security, performance, and code quality issues.
```
---
[4.2][MULTI_FILE_OPERATION]
```markdown
---
description: Process files matching pattern
argument-hint: [glob-pattern]
allowed-tools: Read, Edit, Glob, TodoWrite
---
Task
Match files via $1. Analyze content. Apply fixes. Track progress via TodoWrite.
```
---
[4.3][AGENT_WORKFLOW]
```markdown
---
description: Multi-agent analysis
argument-hint: [target-folder]
allowed-tools: Task, Read, Glob, TodoWrite
---
Task
- Match files in $1 via Glob
- Spawn analysis agents via Task
- Synthesize findings, track via TodoWrite
```

[4.4][SKILL_CONTEXT]
```markdown
---
description: Validate target against skill standards
argument-hint: [target] [focus?]
allowed-tools: Read, Task, Glob, Edit, TodoWrite
---

@.claude/skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md
@.claude/skills/[skill-name]/references/[domain]/*.md
Task
Load context above. Spawn Task agents. Verify findings against loaded context. Apply corrections.
```

[6][VALIDATION]
>Dictum: Validation gates prevent incomplete artifacts.
[VERIFY] Completion:
- [ ] Workflow: All 5 phases executed (UNDERSTAND → VALIDATE).
- [ ] Frontmatter: Valid YAML, description present, tools declared.
- [ ] Variables: No
$ARGUMENTS+$1-$Nmixing. - [ ] Tools: All
@pathhaveRead, all!commandhaveBash. - [ ] Quality: LOC < 125, verb-first naming.
