Agent/Command/vs Agent Skills

• AI Agent Slash Comands vs AI Agent Skills

  • tldr
    • An AI/Agent can invoke Agent/Skills when it determines them to be relevant according to their description.
    • An AI/Agent will only invoke a Agent/Command if the human operator invokes it, or, in some cases, if the prompt instructions for a skill say to invoke that slash command.
  • In Claude Code, Agent/Skills can invoke Agent Commands. In other platforms, it may or may not be the same.
