5 New Claude Code Slash Commands
Summary¶
Roundup of recent Claude Code commands: /effort for reasoning depth control, /loop for recurring prompts, /copy for interactive code block picking, /color for session color-coding, /simplify for parallel code review, /batch for parallel migrations, and /reload-plugins for hot-reloading plugin changes.
Key Details¶
- /effort: low/medium/high reasoning depth; works mid-response; persistent across session
- /loop: run prompts on a recurring interval (e.g.,
/loop 5m check the deploy); ties into cron scheduling - /batch: enters plan mode first, decomposes into independent units, spawns agents in isolated git worktrees, runs /simplify before creating PRs
- /simplify: launches 3 parallel agents (reuse, quality, efficiency) against git diff
- /reload-plugins: hot-reload plugin changes without losing session context
Why Rolf Thinks This Matters¶
/batch is interesting for migrations — the parallel worktree migration pattern could inform our implementation orchestrator. /loop may supersede our custom /loop skill — need to check if the native implementation makes ours redundant.
