Turn recurring prompts into skills you invoke with /name
Terminal / Productivity / Cost Optimization·13 hours ago·verified 13 hours ago·medium·~15 min setup·verified
Save repeatable workflows as SKILL.md (or .claude/commands) so you slash-invoke consistent PR reviews, releases, or checklists.
The problem
Re-typing the same long prompt every time drifts and wastes tokens explaining the process again.
The hack
Create `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` with frontmatter and steps; invoke it as `/name` whenever needed.
Why it works
Skills are the modern home for reusable commands. They keep CLAUDE.md small and standardize team workflows.
Setup
1. Create `.claude/skills/ship-check/SKILL.md`. 2. Add description frontmatter and numbered steps (tests, changelog, risk notes). 3. Restart or refresh so `/ship-check` appears. 4. Run it before every release PR.
Code
---
name: ship-check
description: Pre-PR release checklist for this repo
---
1. Run the test suite and summarize failures.
2. Diff against main and list user-facing changes.
3. Flag missing tests or docs.Additional details
Existing .claude/commands/*.md files still work as slash commands.
