/peers

/agentsPrints a reminder to ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or to edit .claude/agents/ directly.
/backgroundDetaches the session to run as a background agent and frees the terminal.
/batchOrchestrates large changes in parallel: researches the codebase, decomposes the work into 5–30 independent units and presents a plan; after approval, one background subagent per unit implements and tests it in its own worktree.
/forkCopies the conversation into a new background session while you keep working here.
/stopStops the background session you're attached to; transcript and worktree are kept.
/subtaskSpawns a forked subagent that inherits the conversation and reports its result back here.
/tasksViews and manages background work in this session, including finished subagents.
/workflow-authoringLoads the reference for writing dynamic workflow scripts.
