Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

Add a built-in /skills command to list and invoke project-defined skills (from .claude/skills/), similar to how /help lists built-in commands.

Currently, there's no way to discover available skills from the CLI. Users must:

  • Read CLAUDE.md or documentation
  • Browse .claude/skills/ directory manually
  • Know skill names beforehand

This hurts discoverability, especially for repos with many custom skills.

Proposed Solution

Add a built-in /skills command to list and invoke project-defined skills (from .claude/skills/), similar to how /help lists built-in commands.
/skills # List all available skills
/skills:load-biz-context # Invoke specific skill
/skills:load-biz-context domain cost # With parameters

Or alternatively:
/skill list # List skills
/skill run <name> [args] # Run a skill

Benefits

  • Consistent UX with other / commands
  • Autocomplete support for skill names
  • Better discoverability for project-specific skills
  • Helps new team members onboard faster

Additional Context

In Windsurf, there's workflow can quickly load customized "workflow+rules" (repo level)
In Cursor, there's command can quickly load customized "command" (repo level)
