Compositions

Command + Skill

The command supplies explicit operator timing and inputs. The skill supplies the reviewed procedure and resources. Maintain one core workflow.

Command + Project Instructions

Instructions define when the workflow is required. The command starts it. Avoid duplicating the procedure in the always-loaded file.

Command + Hooks

Hooks can validate preconditions or capture evidence around the workflow. Keep final release authorization independent.

Command + Subagents

A command may fan out bounded research or review. Define ownership, limits, and reconciliation before spawning.

Command + Human Approval

Pause before publication, destructive changes, external messages, spend, or other material effects. Display the exact proposed action and evidence, not a generic confirmation.

Command + Ledger

Record workflow version, inputs, actions, checks, approvals, artifacts, and result. This makes an operator shortcut part of an accountable delivery system rather than an opaque PromptThe brief. Closer to writing instructions for a new contractor than to programming.The text you give the model — question, instructions, context. Its quality shapes the quality of the output.Full definition macro.
