A slash command is a name plus a prompt you reuse. Type / in chat to pick one. Use this for work you do the same way every time: writing a commit message, checking a PR, generating tests in a fixed shape.

​
Add one

  1. Open Settings → Agents → Workflows.
  2. Give it a short name. That name is what you type after /.
  3. Write the prompt you want Shape to follow. Be specific about the output: a commit message, a list of risks, a test file, and so on.
  4. Save it.
Keep the prompt as the instructions, not as a one-off about the current branch. The current project still comes from the open folder and the thread.

​
Run one

Type / in the composer and choose the command. You can add extra text after it, such as /commit focus on the billing page. A trigger phrase in a normal message can run it too, if you set one on the command.

​
What to put in the prompt

Write it like you would brief a person who has never seen this repo:
  • What to look at (@ files, or “the diff in source control”).
  • What to produce.
  • What to avoid (“do not change snapshots”).
Bad commands are one word. “Review” with no standard is not a command. The Review mode already exists.

​
Edit or delete

Open Settings → Agents → Workflows again. Change the prompt, or delete the command. Existing threads do not change. Skills (reusable instructions the agent can load) live under Settings → Agents → Skills. They are separate from slash commands.
