Installation

npm install -g slashdev
slashdev setup

slashdev setup prompts for your @slashdev.io email, then installs hooks and skills to ~/.claude/. After setup, all skills are immediately available in Claude Code.

What You Get

Claude Code Skills

Installed to ~/.claude/skills/ and invoked directly in Claude Code:

Adapts to any stack. | | Frontend Design | /frontend-design | Distinctive, production-grade UI design. Avoids generic AI aesthetics. | | Code Review | /code-review | Security, performance, and maintainability review. | | PR Description | /pr-description | Generate structured pull request descriptions from diffs. | | Scope Estimate | /scope-estimate | Estimate effort for development tasks. | | Bug Diagnosis | /bug-diagnosis | Systematic root-cause analysis. |

gstack Skills

gstack by Garry Tan is bundled as a vendored submodule. After setup, all 29 gstack skills are available in Claude Code.

Planning & Strategy

| Skill | Description | |-------|-------------| | /plan-ceo-review | CEO/founder-level plan review — rethinks the problem, finds the 10-star product, challenges premises with four scope modes | | /plan-eng-review | Engineering manager plan review — locks in architecture, data flow, diagrams, and edge cases | | /plan-design-review | Designer's eye plan review — rates design dimensions 0-10 and iteratively improves the plan | | /office-hours | YC Office Hours mode — startup diagnostic or builder brainstorming with design doc output | | /autoplan | Auto-review pipeline with auto-decisions; surfaces taste decisions at the final approval gate |

Design

| Skill | Description | |-------|-------------| | /design-consultation | Proposes a complete design system and generates font + color preview pages | | /design-review | Designer's eye QA — finds visual inconsistency, spacing issues, and hierarchy problems, then fixes them | | /design-shotgun | Design exploration — generates multiple AI design variants and iterates on structured feedback |

Building & Testing

| Skill | Description | |-------|-------------| | /qa | Systematically QA tests your web app and fixes bugs found — iterative fix-verify loop with health scores | | /qa-only | Report-only QA testing — structured bug report without making code changes | | /review | Pre-landing PR review — analyzes diff for SQL safety, LLM trust violations, and structural issues | | /investigate | Systematic debugging with root cause investigation — four phases, no fixes without root cause | | /browse | Fast headless browser — navigate URLs, interact with elements, verify state, take screenshots | | /benchmark | Performance regression detection — establishes baselines and compares before/after on every PR | | /codex | OpenAI Codex CLI wrapper with code review, challenge mode, and consult |

Shipping & Deployment

| Skill | Description | |-------|-------------| | /ship | Ship workflow — merge base branch, run tests, review diff, bump version, update changelog, create PR | | /land-and-deploy | Merges PR, waits for CI/deploy, verifies production health via canary checks | | /canary | Post-deploy monitoring — watches live app for console errors, performance regressions, and page failures | | /document-release | Updates README, ARCHITECTURE, CONTRIBUTING, and CLAUDE.md to match what shipped | | /retro | Weekly engineering retrospective — analyzes commit history, work patterns, and code quality |

Safety & Control

| Skill | Description | |-------|-------------| | /careful | Warns before destructive commands (rm -rf, DROP TABLE, force-push, git reset --hard) | | /cso | Chief Security Officer mode — infrastructure-first security audit with secrets archaeology and OWASP Top 10 | | /freeze | Restrict file edits to a specific directory for the session | | /unfreeze | Clear the freeze boundary, allowing edits to all directories again | | /guard | Full safety mode — combines destructive command warnings with directory-scoped edits |

Standalone CLI Skills

These use the Anthropic API directly from your terminal (requires slashdev login):

slashdev design "review my Button component"
slashdev product "write a PRD for user authentication"
slashdev github "create a PR description for the auth feature"
slashdev test "write unit tests for the UserService"
slashdev server "harden the SSH config"

Agentswarm

The headline feature. /agentswarm in Claude Code launches a hierarchical team of specialized agents:

/agentswarm "Add user profiles with edit page"

  Analyst    → Scans codebase, detects stack (Laravel, React, Flutter, etc.)
  Planner    → Creates file-by-file implementation plan with test plan
  Implementer(s) → Writes code AND tests (backend + frontend in parallel)
  Reviewer   → Code quality, security, performance review
  QA Agent   → Test quality audit + API request count audit

Key behaviors:

• Stack-agnostic — Detects and adapts to Laravel, React, Flutter, Vue, Rails, Django, or any framework
• Tests are mandatory — Planner plans tests, Implementers write tests, QA Agent verifies test quality
• API request audit — QA Agent counts API calls per frontend page and flags pages making too many requests (a common performance mistake)
• /frontend-design enforced — Every frontend implementer invokes the design skill for distinctive UI
• Reviewer + QA run in parallel — Code quality and behavioral correctness checked simultaneously
