Time saved: 8-16 hrs/year
/test-changes
Run pytest and frontend build checks before committing (lighter than /pre-commit)
When to use: Quick validation during development.
What it does:
- Runs pytest for backend
- Builds frontend to catch errors
- Runs style/naming checker
- Provides targeted test commands
/docker-rebuild NEW
Complete Docker rebuild workflow - build frontend, rebuild image, run migrations, verify health
When to use: After merging branches, dependency changes, or Dockerfile modifications.
What it does:
- Builds frontend (prebuilt approach)
- Rebuilds Docker image
- Restarts containers cleanly
- Runs database migrations
- Verifies services healthy
- Tests both URLs work
Time saved: 8 hrs/year
Deployment Skills
/full-deploy NEW
Complete deployment workflow for air-gapped production - saves 50-100 hrs/year from 312 hrs coordination burden
When to use: Deploying to production (wj branch) or ops (dev branch).
What it does:
- Pre-deploy validation (tests, health, security, migrations)
- Creates deployment bundle
- Deploys to dev PC first (staging test)

- Guides through production deployment
- Post-deploy validation
- Provides rollback plan if issues
Time saved: 50-100 hrs/year (from 312 hrs/year burden)
/agent-deploy-full NEW

When to use: Deploying C# agent or tray updates to VM.
What it does:
- Builds agent and tray executables
- Tests locally (quick sanity check)
- Deploys to VM via SSH

How Skills Work
Skills are markdown files that provide structured instructions. When you type /skill-name, Claude:
- Loads the skill instructions
- Follows the steps defined in the skill
- Adapts to the current situation
Skills save tokens by avoiding repeated explanations of common workflows.
Tips
- Use skills for repetitive tasks
- Skills preserve context about your environment
- You can still ask Claude to deviate from skill steps if needed
- Skills work best when the workflow is consistent
