How to Leverage Slash Commands to Code Effectively

Slash commands can be used in coding agents to improve engineering efficiency by storing and reusing common prompts. This approach saves significant time and ensures consistency for repetitive tasks like creating pull requests, running pre-commit checks, or checking if code is production-ready. The author provides several personal examples, such as commands for generating release PRs, creating new feature branches, and summarizing knowledge from a development thread. This technique is applicable in AI coding tools like Claude Code, Warp, and Cursor to streamline daily programming workflows.
