The complete reference: all 22 /yaw-* slash commands the Yaw Mode overlay ships for Claude Code, grouped by purpose. Every command is a skill - the body loads only when invoked, so the persistent footprint is the name plus the one-line description below. Click a command name (or its Share button) to copy a direct link to it.
Updated
triggers: "implement the plan", "build this", "execute the plan"
Execute an agreed plan end to end - write code, run checks, confirm it works. Use after a plan is agreed, not for open-ended exploration.
triggers: "review my changes", "any bugs in this"
Review the most recent changes for bugs, performance, and UX issues before committing or opening a PR. Returns a punch list with file:line, what's wrong, and a suggested fix.
triggers: "address all of these", "fix everything", "knock them out", "work the list"
Implement every actionable item from the most recent enumerated list the agent surfaced - punch list, findings, TODOs, gaps - end to end without per-item confirmations.
triggers: "what is untested", "find missing test cases"
Find untested branches, edge cases, and failure paths in a module or feature. Returns a list of missing test cases with rationale - does not write tests unless asked.
triggers: "full pass over X", "sweep this module", before a release, after a refactor, or on unfamiliar code
End-to-end sweep over a module, feature, or subsystem. Reads everything carefully, reports surprises as solid / fragile / worth fixing now / file for later.
triggers: "ready to pr", "is this ready for review"
Pre-PR audit: lint, typecheck, tests, plus a short diff-readiness pass. Auto-detects the project's commands from package.json. Outputs a PR-ready/blocked checklist with file:line for each blocker.
triggers: "is this ready to ship", "ship-ready audit", "can I merge this"
Audit a branch or feature for shippability. Done / missing / blocked checklist covering golden path, error UI, loading states, empty states, destructive confirmations, and hygiene.
triggers: "what yaw mode am I in", "is the overlay active"
Report current Yaw state: mode (off / augment / fresh), model, effort tier, and how to change them.
triggers: "snapshot this session", "save state for tomorrow"
Snapshot the current session (cwd, branch, recent commits, files touched, pending tasks, open decisions, next step) to ~/.claude/handoffs/ and stdout, for resume in a fresh tab.
triggers: "am I throttled", "should I switch tier"
Report the current backend (Anthropic-direct, typed.cloud, or the free local typed tier), model, effort tier, and whether the session is being rate-limited. Recommends tier drops per the throttle-recovery playbook when 429s fire.
triggers: "wait for it to finish", "watch this run", "babysit this deploy"
Poll-until-done for long-running operations: gh runs, kubectl rollouts, deploys, builds, log tails. Dispatches to the ci-watch agent for gh runs; polls native commands for the rest.
triggers: "check memory links", "find broken memory links"
Find broken [[link]] references in memory bodies. Proposes either backfilling a new memory at the target name or editing the link to a real target.
triggers: "prune my memories", "garbage collect memory"
Find stale memory entries (broken refs, way-out-of-date versions, contradicted by recent commits) and propose deletions. Never auto-deletes.
triggers: "explain rule X", "where did the Z rule come from"
Given a rule name or memory slug, explain what it means with concrete examples from recent git history - the WHY, not just the WHAT.
triggers: "what corrections did I make", "what should I add to my rules"
Scan recent session transcripts for friction signals (corrections, "actually", "no, not that", name disputes) and propose rule updates that would have prevented them.
triggers: "is my yaw config healthy", "what is stale"
Static-hygiene audit for Yaw Mode session state: stale memories, divergent configs, broken cross-references, orphaned skills/agents, settings drift. The companion to /yaw-tool-usage-audit.
triggers: "which MCPs am I skipping", "audit my tool usage"
Scan Claude Code transcripts to report which MCP servers earned their loadout vs were skipped via bash fallback. Computes per-server use rate over a time window.
triggers: "tune my bundle", "which mcps should I add"
Propose Yaw MCP bundle drops/adds from /yaw-tool-usage-audit data. Low use-rate servers are drop candidates; high bash-fallback counts are add candidates. Outputs a sample bundle config.
triggers: "what skills am I missing", "what would benefit from a skill"
Scan recent transcripts to find repeated workflows that lack a skill (3+ occurrences, no existing match). Proposes new skill names and trigger phrases.
triggers: "should I use an mcp for this", "is this a bash fallback"
Given a planned Bash command, check whether a loaded MCP server would do it better. Suggests the MCP equivalent if loaded, or the install package if not.
triggers: "scaffold a skill", "make a new skill"
Scaffolder for new Yaw skills. Asks 3 questions (name, purpose, trigger phrases), writes a properly-formatted SKILL.md under ~/.claude/skills/ with the standard frontmatter and section scaffold.
triggers: "scaffold an agent", "create subagent"
Scaffolder for custom Claude Code subagents. Creates ~/.claude/agents/ if missing, asks 3 questions (name, purpose, tool restrictions), writes <name>.md with proper YAML frontmatter and a body scaffold.
These 22 skills are the runtime surface of Yaw Mode. For the rule files, safety hooks, sub-agents, and the overlay mechanism itself, see Claude Code Yaw Mode.
