Save a markdown file in .claude/commands/ (or ~/.claude/commands/ for global) and the filename becomes a slash command. Use $ARGUMENTS to accept input:
# .claude/commands/fix-issue.md

A folder in .claude/skills/ bundling instructions with scripts or reference files. Claude loads the right one automatically when a task matches — a step up from a single-prompt custom command.
Hooks: run your own shell commands at points in the workflow — auto-format after an edit, block a risky git push.
MCP: connects Claude Code to outside tools — Slack, a database, your CRM.
/clear between unrelated tasks, /compact when a session drags, Plan Mode before anything risky, one or two custom commands or Skills for your most repeated task. That covers most of the daily value.
