Multi-step command workflows

Encode complex workflows as commands that orchestrate multiple agent actions.

Pattern: review then commit

# Ship

Review, test, and commit changes in one pass.

$ARGUMENTS

## Steps

1. Run `git diff` to see all changes
2. Check for linter errors in modified files
3. If errors found, fix them before proceeding
4. Review the changes for quality issues
5. Create a commit with a Conventional Commits message
6. Report what was committed

Pattern: parallel agent delegation

Commands can instruct Claude to launch parallel sub-agents:

# Audit

Run a comprehensive audit of the project.

Launch these checks in parallel:
- Code review agent on uncommitted changes
- Dependency update check
- Linter error scan across all source files

Collect results and present a unified report.

Tips for multi-step commands

  • Number your steps explicitly
  • Add checkpoint conditions ("if X fails, stop and report")
  • Reference specific tools the agent should use
  • Keep the total scope reasonable (5-8 steps max)

Working out which model to run this on? See The Codex. Packaging it as a reusable skill? See The Armory.
