Feature Request
Problem
Currently, slash commands cannot be associated with a specific output style. Users must manually switch output styles after invoking a command, which adds friction to the workflow.
Proposed Solution
Add an optional output-style property to the slash command frontmatter:
---
description: Analyze code structure
output-style: bullet-points
---
Analyze the following code and provide insights...
Available styles
ultra-concisebullet-pointsmarkdown-focusedtable-basedyaml-structuredhtml-structured
Use Cases
/commit→ ultra-concise (just the commit message)/review→ markdown-focused for detailed code reviews/debug→ bullet-points for quick scanning/explain→ table-based for structured comparisons
Benefits
- Reduces manual steps in workflows
- Ensures consistent output for specific tasks
- Improves plugin/skill UX by allowing authors to define optimal output formats
Additional Context
Output styles are already supported via hooks/settings. This feature would simply allow slash commands to specify their preferred style declaratively in the frontmatter.
