4 hacks
Build slash skills that accept issue numbers, branch names, or formats via $ARGUMENTS / $0 so one command covers many cases.
Mark deploy/ship/destructive skills so only an explicit /command runs them—Claude cannot auto-trigger them mid-session.
Save repeatable workflows as SKILL.md (or .claude/commands) so you slash-invoke consistent PR reviews, releases, or checklists.
Use /btw for single-turn clarifications that share full context but never enter conversation history or burn future tokens.
