Slash Command Glossary

By topic. Universal commands ship with every project. Registry commands need cdprov add per-project. Built-in commands ship with Claude Code itself.

Foundation (universal)

Command	Purpose
/vision	Create or update docs/vision.md (living strategy doc)
/capability	Create a capability as a GitHub Issue (label cap)
/requirement	Create a requirement as a GitHub Issue (label req)

Discovery (universal)

Command	Purpose
/what-next	Analyze project state, propose next work item

Manual development (universal)

Command	Purpose
/start-work	Create a feature/fix branch
/commit	Create a git commit
/pr	Open a PR with requirement traceability
/finish-work	Merge to master / open PR + cleanup
/session-summary	Close session as a GitHub Issue
/journal	Create decision/lesson/session issue

Autonomous (universal)

Command	Purpose
/warp-drive [issue]	The autonomous development loop
/stop-warp-drive	Graceful stop
/auto-loop	Legacy — predecessor of /warp-drive; will be removed

Parallel (universal)

Command	Purpose
/cdfork	Multi-agent worktree orchestration (subcommands match cdfork CLI)

Dev environment (universal)

Command	Purpose
/dev-up	Bring dev env to fully testable state

Maintenance (universal)

Command	Purpose
/provision	Manage provisioning (status / add / remove / refresh / diff / init)
/rebob	Full project state reconciliation
/trace-mining	Mine session journals for harness improvements

Skill toggles (universal)

Command	Purpose
/automation	Switch automation level
/rdb	Toggle Remote Decision Bridge

Registry / opt-in commands

Provision before use (cdprov add command <name>):

• /research — Research project management
• /deploy — Cloudflare atomic deploy (from deploy-cloudflare skill)
• /release, /review-lessons, /ux-review — As provisioned

Older registry commands (/backlog, /risk, /report-bug, /change, /status, /dashboard, /standup, /retrospective) predate the GitHub-Issues hierarchy and are scheduled for removal. Do not use them on new work. /spec has been removed (#508); /solution and /incident were rewritten to file GitHub Issues (a decision and an incident issue respectively) rather than local SOL-*.md / INC-*.md files. Use /capability + /requirement + GitHub Issues with appropriate labels instead.

Built-in Claude Code & plugin commands

Always available, not BoB-specific:

Command	Purpose
/init	Initialize a CLAUDE.md from existing codebase
/review	Review pending changes
/security-review	Security review of pending changes
/loop	Run a slash command on a recurring interval
/schedule	Cron-style scheduling for recurring agents
/clean_gone	Clean up local branches that are gone on the remote (commit-commands plugin)
/commit-push-pr	Commit, push, open PR (commit-commands plugin)
/help	Built-in Claude Code help

Plugin command families also available: sentry:*, frontend-design:*, commit-commands:*. List them with /help inside Claude.

Shell Command Glossary

Every command runnable from a regular terminal.

BoB CLI aliases (set up by bob-install.sh)

Alias	Backed by	Purpose
cdi	BOB_SOURCE/claude-init.sh	Initialize project with BoB tooling
cdb	BOB_SOURCE/claude-dashboard.sh	Dashboard — tooling + symlink status
cdp	BOB_SOURCE/claude-promote.sh	Promote a local item to global registry
cdl	BOB_SOURCE/claude-link.sh	Link a global item into project
cdprov	BOB_SOURCE/scripts/provision.sh	Provision project from manifest
cdproj	BOB_SOURCE/bin/cdproj	Provision/reconcile the linked GitHub Project (init/update/status/reset/item/backfill) — see gh-projects.md
cdr	BOB_SOURCE/scripts/lib/cdr.sh	Claude Disaster Recovery — cdr status / check / recover / reprovision / reset (see backup-recovery.md)
cdfork	BOB_SOURCE/bin/cdfork	Parallel worktree orchestration

claude shell wrapper

The bob-install.sh wrapper intercepts custom flags before exec'ing the real claude CLI:

Flag	Effect
-a1	Set automation Level 1 (Supervised)
-a2	Set automation Level 2 (Trusted Dev)
-a3	Set automation Level 3 (Autonomous)
-rdb	Enable Remote Decision Bridge (Telegram)

Combine: claude -a3 -rdb is the canonical autonomous warp-drive launch.

BoB scripts (BOB_SOURCE/scripts/ and bin/)

scripts/bob-install.sh	Set up shell wrapper + aliases (idempotent)
scripts/deploy.sh	Sync BOB_SOURCE → BOB_HOME (--dry-run, --first-run, --force)

scripts/rebob/*.js	/rebob engine
scripts/cascade-engine/*.js	Cascade rule engine
scripts/autoloop/state-machine.js	Legacy auto-loop state engine

bin/ entrypoints (intended for direct PATH use)

Bin	Purpose
bin/warp	Human control plane for warp-drive (warp status, warp stop, warp config, warp session start/end/status, warp finalize)
bin/cdfork	Parallel worktree orchestration (also exposed as cdfork alias)
bin/cdfork-pair	Cross-repo cdfork pair (standalone shape of cdfork pair)
