+# Claude Commands Research
+
+Research into interesting non-MCP tools and custom commands created by the community for Claude Code's `.claude/commands` directories.
+
+## Overview
+
+Custom commands in Claude Code are stored as markdown files in:
+- `~/.claude/commands/` (global user commands, accessible as `/user:command`)
+- `./claude/commands/` (project-specific commands, accessible as `/project:command`)
+
+## Key Repositories Discovered
+
+### 1. hikarubw/claude-commands
+**Focus:** Development workflow automation  
+**Repository:** https://github.com/hikarubw/claude-commands
+
+**Commands:**
+- `/user:init` - Initialize projects with CI/CD, testing, docs
+- `/user:check` - Run all quality checks in parallel with actionable insights
+- `/user:plan` - Create detailed project plans (high token usage)
+- `/user:push` - Smart git workflow with intelligent commits and CI monitoring
+- `/user:handover` - Prepare session handover documentation
+- `/user:research` - Deep technical research (high token usage)
+- `/user:help` - Show all available commands
+
+**Features:**
+- Language-agnostic design

+
+## Current Issues & Limitations
+
+Based on GitHub issues, there are some active problems with custom commands:
+
+1. **Discovery Issues:** Claude Code sometimes fails to find custom commands in expected directories
+2. **Permission Prompts:** Bugs with Bash permission prompts when custom commands are first to request access
+3. **Execution Problems:** Commands may not execute from within conversations even when they appear in the interface
+
+## Patterns & Best Practices
+
+From analyzing these repositories, common patterns emerge:
+
+1. **Workflow Automation:** Most successful commands automate multi-step development workflows
+2. **Quality Assurance:** Many focus on testing, linting, and code quality checks
+3. **Git Integration:** Smart git workflows are a popular category
+4. **Documentation:** Automated documentation generation is common
+5. **Project Management:** Planning and task management features
+6. **Language Agnostic:** Best commands work across different programming languages

+   mkdir -p ~/.claude/commands
+   
+   # For project-specific commands (accessible as /project:command)
+   mkdir -p ./.claude/commands
+   ```
+
+2. **Basic Command Structure**
+   ```markdown

+Deploy the application: $ARGUMENTS
+
+Before deploying:
+1. Check if all tests pass
+2. Verify no security vulnerabilities
+3. Ensure documentation is up to date
+4. Confirm environment variables are set
+
+If staging deployment:
+- Deploy to staging environment
+- Run smoke tests
+- Notify team in #staging channel
+
+If production deployment:
+- Require explicit confirmation
+- Create deployment checklist
+- Deploy with zero-downtime strategy
+- Monitor for 15 minutes post-deployment

+```
+
+## Integration Examples
+
+### GitHub Actions Integration
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/claude-commands.yml
+name: Claude Commands CI
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  validate-commands:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+      - name: Validate Commands
+        run: |
+          # Validate command syntax
+          find .claude/commands -name "*.md" -exec markdown-lint {} \;
+```
+
+### Git Hooks Integration
+```bash
+#!/bin/sh
+# .git/hooks/pre-commit
+# Automatically run code review command
+claude -p "Review the staged changes for any issues" --staged
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting Common Issues
+
+### Command Discovery Problems
+1. Ensure correct directory structure: `.claude/commands/`
+2. Use `.md` file extension
+3. Restart Claude Code after adding new commands
+4. Check file permissions
+
+### Permission Issues
+1. Commands requiring Bash access need user permission
+2. Use explicit permission requests in commands
+3. Test commands individually before combining
+
+### Execution Problems
+1. Verify command syntax and structure
+2. Test with simple commands first
+3. Check for conflicting command names
+4. Review Claude Code logs for errors
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Token Usage
+- Keep commands concise but comprehensive
+- Use clear, specific instructions
+- Avoid redundant information
+- Structure for readability
+
+### Response Time
+- Break complex workflows into steps
+- Use specific rather than general commands
+- Minimize context switching
+- Cache common patterns
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Command Security
+- Never include secrets in commands
+- Validate all input parameters
+- Use secure coding practices
+- Review commands for vulnerabilities
+
+### Access Control
+- Use project-specific commands for sensitive operations
+- Implement approval workflows for critical commands
+- Log command execution for audit trails
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Regular Updates
+- Review and refactor commands quarterly
+- Update based on team feedback
+- Keep documentation current
+- Remove deprecated commands
+
+### Version Control
+- Track command changes in Git
+- Use semantic versioning for major updates
+- Document breaking changes
+- Maintain backward compatibility when possible
