Proof Of Work
Run the machine-verifiable gate (typecheck/test/lint, plus a screenshot for UI) so an agent's diff is "review-ready" before it reaches a human. Triggers "proof of work", "is this review-ready", "verify before review", "prove it is green", or after an agent finishes a diff-producing task.
Share Learning
Promote a team-relevant learning to the shared team-knowledge repo, deduping against existing notes first. Triggers "share this", "promote to the team repo", "add to the knowledge base", or after a gotcha/decision/convention worth team-wide awareness.
Project
GitHub Issues as PLAN.md replacement — agents read/update them. Auto-invoke on issue-linked branches. Triggers "what's the plan", "project status", "sync with github", "close the issue".
Qa
Visual + a11y QA — screenshot-first critique, contrast, touch targets, mockup-vs-impl diff. For adversarial logic checks use `/verify`. Triggers "visual QA", "QA check", "does this look right", "a11y check", "contrast check", post-component changes.

Context Doc
Build CONTEXT.md (domain glossary) + docs/adr/ via interview; keeps agent vocab aligned. Triggers "domain language", "glossary", "ADR", inconsistent terminology.
Orchestrate
Multi-agent coordination across plan/implement/test/review; fan-out for 3+ independent workstreams. Triggers "coordinate", "orchestrate", "complex task", "parallel agents", "split work", "fan out", "multi-instance", large refactor, "overnight", "long running", "autonomous task", "extended task", "marathon", "multi-hour task".
Ship
Verify and publish changes — push, open PR, watch CI until green. Triggers "ship it", "create PR", "open PR", "ready to merge", "/pr", "/ship", "push and PR", "watch the PR", "babysit CI", "loop until green".
Refactor
Behavior-preserving restructuring of code that is NOT in your current diff — extract modules, rename across files, untangle abstractions, pay down tech debt. For tightening just-changed code use `/zero-tech-debt` instead. Triggers "refactor X", "reorganize this module", "restructure", "extract Y from Z", "pay down tech debt".
Review Batch
Batch-review the diffs from several agents in one sitting with per-change re-entry cards, instead of cold-reloading one agent at a time. Triggers "review batch", "review all the agents", "what's pending review", "batch review", "catch up on agent work", or after fanning out several agents.
Codex
Claude x Codex bridge — delegate mechanical or bulk implementation to the OpenAI Codex CLI, get an independent cross-model review of the current uncommitted diff, or ask Codex a read-only second-opinion question. Triggers "use codex", "have codex do", "have codex review", "have codex check", "codex exec", "second opinion from codex", "cross-check with codex", "delegate to codex", "ask codex". Use…
Plan Feature
Pre-implementation planning — interview to clarify scope, then compile into a PRD. Triggers "help me figure out", "vague scope", "define requirements" (discovery phase); "PRD", "requirements document", "product spec", "feature spec", "write requirements" (PRD phase).
Component
Create UI component / widget / reusable piece. Triggers "create component", "new component", "add component", or naming a component (Button, Header, Card).
Autoresearch
Autonomous skill-prompt optimization — Karpathy-style mutate/score/keep loop on SKILL.md. Triggers "autoresearch", "optimize skill", "tune", "evolve" a skill, "prompt optimization".
Lighthouse
Lighthouse audit + improvement loop until targets met. Triggers "lighthouse", "performance audit", "page speed", "improve scores", "LCP", "CLS", "INP", "core web vitals".
Strategist
|
Explore
Read-only codebase investigation via Explore agent; also handles upward-zoom for unfamiliar code regions. Triggers "how does X work", "where is X", "find X", "understand X", "navigate codebase", "zoom out", "bigger picture", "where does this fit".
Consolidate
Audit and prune rules/skills/learnings to prevent context bloat. Triggers "consolidate", "clean up rules", "spa day", "what's redundant", degraded agent perf.
Plan Ceo Review
|
Zero Tech Debt
Rework a patch from its intended end-state, not from the historical path that produced it — delete compat cruft, mode flags, fallbacks, and wrappers no one calls anymore. Triggers "zero tech debt", "rewrite as if from scratch", "delete the compat layer", "kill the legacy path", "this has too many flags", or when a feature has accreted mode props and shims over multiple iterations and you want the…
Dr Init
Initialize new Darkroom project from a satus or novus starter (NOT the same as native /init which writes CLAUDE.md). Triggers "new darkroom project", "satus", "novus", "scaffold from starter".
Tldr
TLDR code analysis — call graphs, semantic search, impact, dataflow; ~95% token savings vs raw reads. Use for "who calls X", "what affects X", before large file reads or refactors.
Test
Write/run tests, check coverage, or TDD discipline. Triggers "test", "write tests", "add tests", "run tests", "coverage", "unit test", "integration test", "TDD", "test-first", "red-green-refactor", "bugs-that-must-not-recur"; post-implementation, pre-merge.
Build
Build feature/page/integration end-to-end with GO/NO-GO gate. For components use `/component`, hooks `/hook`. Triggers "build a feature/page", "implement feature", "add feature", "build integration".
Review
Local pre-commit review of unstaged/staged diff against the Darkroom quality checklist (TypeScript, React, a11y, perf, security). Also summarizes inbound PR review comments on the active PR. Distinct from native /review which inspects open PRs. Triggers "review my changes", "check this diff", "feedback on this code", "PR comments", "what did reviewers say", "summarize PR feedback", post-implement…
Hook
Create reusable React hook (useX pattern). Triggers "create hook", "new hook", "custom hook", "useAuth"/"useScroll"-style names, extracting logic from a component.
Fix
Debug and fix bugs/errors/failures, including merge conflicts and failing PR CI checks. Triggers "fix", "broken", "not working", "bug", "error", "failing", "merge conflict", "fix CI", "checks failing", console errors, build/test failures, regression.
Nuclear Review
Extremely strict whole-codebase maintainability audit — checks structural quality, 1k-line file sprawl, thin wrappers, leaked logic, spaghetti growth, and dependency freshness + usage quality via context7. Pushes "code-judo" moves that delete whole branches instead of rearranging them. When fixes land, the same pass updates CHANGELOG, MANUAL, and derived schemas so the docs don't drift. Triggers…
Cc
Sync cc-settings with upstream Claude Code (maintainer) or pull the latest cc-settings (user). Triggers "sync with claude code", "changelog sync", "upstream sync" (sync mode); "update cc-settings", "refresh my install" (update mode).
Checkpoint
Mid-task rollback points — save/restore state before risky ops (refactors, migrations, destructive edits). For end-of-session save use `/handoff`. Triggers "checkpoint", "snapshot", "before this risky op", "rollback to", "list checkpoints", pre-refactor save.
Design Tokens
Generate OR consolidate design tokens — type scales, color palettes, spacing systems, dark-mode derivations with WCAG checks (generate); or audit-and-reduce an over-grown Tailwind v4 token set with identical render (consolidate). Outputs CSS/Tailwind. Triggers "design tokens", "type scale", "color palette", "theme setup", "reduce tokens", "dedupe tokens", "too many tokens", "consolidate tokens".
Freeze
Lock file edits to one directory for the session — Edit/Write/MultiEdit outside it are blocked, not just warned. Use when debugging to stop accidental edits to unrelated code, or to fence a parallel agent to one module. Triggers "freeze edits", "lock editing scope", "restrict edits to", "only edit this folder", "unfreeze", "lift the freeze".
Oracle
Expert opinions from the oracle agent — freeform advice, risk analysis, or weighted comparison of approaches. Triggers "what should I", "how should I", "advice on" (advice mode); "what could go wrong", "risks", "potential issues", "premortem" (risks mode); "compare approaches", "which is better", "evaluate options", "trade-off analysis", "tech selection", "decide between" (compare mode).
Verify
Adversarial verification — three competing agents (issue-finder, disprover, judge). Triggers "verify", "double check", "are you sure", "poke holes"; pre-prod, post-critical-fix.
Handoff
End-of-session save and next-session resume. Triggers "ending session", "wrapping up", "context window", "running out of context", "done for today" (save mode); "continue where we left off", "pick up where", "last session", "previous work", "resume" (resume mode).
