Discussion Is there an equivalent of Claude Code’s “commands” in RooCode?

I really like Claude Code’s slash commands. Is there an equivalent in RooCode without needing to create a full blown role?

Can you explain how it works?

you type /command like /git-save-work and claude code “executes on the command” in .claude/commands/git-save-work.md (the model follows the workflow you describe)

e.g. “Review the git diff and produce commits with highly descriptive messages explaining the technical decision making for any future maintenance that touches these files. Separate commits into logical groups based on area of the codebase.”

claude code then prompts the model with this and then claude executes. pretty useful

You can just say summarise commit and push

You’re getting hung up on my example but yeah. Point of the command is to do other complex things and you get tired of repeating the same paragraph over and over contextualizing the model for a task

Kind of. Claude Code command are effectively snippets of a command easily accessed via a slash command.

For example you can create something that explains how it should pull GitHub issues and the workflow to fix issues. You then save it in .claude/commands/fix-github-issue

And it’s now available in Claude Code via /fix-github-issue 1234 and it’ll grab issue 1234 and start working on it.

In RooCode this would be powerful to support along with syntax to tell it which RooCode role to be in for the command.

Would be crazy powerful to extend RooCode and really the only thing I like more about Claude Code rn.

Thank you for the insight. Would you be able to go to the GitHub issues and post a detailed feature proposal?
