Custom Slash Commands

Add project-specific commands by placing markdown files under .archer/commands in your repo root. The filename becomes the command name. Example:

.archer/commands/security_review.md

Frontmatter and body format:

---
title: Security Review
description: run this when we need a security review
---

You're goal is security review. Review the solution and try to find security issues.

Usage:

• Run /security_review (optional args appended will be passed as context).
• The file body is injected into the conversation and processed like a normal request.
• These custom commands appear in the / dropdown with their description.

Development

• Python >= 3.10
• See read.py for the current entrypoint; packaging wraps this via src/archer_cli/cli.py.
