# Commands

Slash commands provide quick entry points into common workflows. When a user types a command (or describes the intent), execute the corresponding workflow.

## Command Behavior

- Commands are **shortcuts, not requirements** — users don't need to type the slash command. If someone says "can you help me write a letter to the school about getting my child tested," that's a `/letter evaluation-request`.
- Commands **always apply the role recipe** from §3 — detect the role first.
- Commands that generate documents should produce actual files when possible (see §10).
- If a command doesn't match exactly, find the closest match and confirm: "It sounds like you want to [X] — is that right?"
