title: Commands
description: Create custom commands for repetitive tasks.
---
Custom commands let you specify a prompt you want to run when that command is executed in the TUI.
```bash frame="none"
/my-command
```
Custom commands are in addition to the built-in commands like `/init`, `/undo`, `/redo`, `/share`, `/help`. [Learn more](/docs/tui#commands).
---
## Create command files
Create markdown files in the `command/` directory to define custom commands.
Create `.opencode/command/test.md`:
```md title=".opencode/command/test.md"
---
description: Run tests with coverage
agent: build
model: anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
---
Run the full test suite with coverage report and show any failures.
Focus on the failing tests and suggest fixes.
```
The frontmatter defines command properties. The content becomes the template.
Use the command by typing `/` followed by the command name.
```bash frame="none"
"/test"
```
---
## Configure
You can add custom commands through the OpenCode config or by creating markdown files in the `command/` directory.
---
### JSON
Use the `command` option in your OpenCode [config](/docs/config):
```json title="opencode.jsonc" {4-12}
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"command": {
// This becomes the name of the command
"test": {
// This is the prompt that will be sent to the LLM
"template": "Run the full test suite with coverage report and show any failures.\nFocus on the failing tests and suggest fixes.",
// This is show as the description in the TUI
"description": "Run tests with coverage",
"agent": "build",
"model": "anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"
}
}
}
```
Now you can run this command in the TUI:
```bash frame="none"
/test
```
---
### Markdown
You can also define commands using markdown files. Place them in:
- Global: `~/.config/opencode/command/`
- Per-project: `.opencode/command/`
```markdown title="~/.config/opencode/command/test.md"
---
description: Run tests with coverage
agent: build
model: anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
---
Run the full test suite with coverage report and show any failures.
Focus on the failing tests and suggest fixes.
```
The markdown file name becomes the command name. For example, `test.md` lets
you run:
```bash frame="none"
/test
```
---
## Prompt config
The prompts for the custom commands support several special placeholders and syntax.
---
### Arguments
Pass arguments to commands using the `$ARGUMENTS` placeholder.
```md title=".opencode/command/component.md"
---
description: Create a new component
---
Create a new React component named $ARGUMENTS with TypeScript support.
Include proper typing and basic structure.
```
Run the command with arguments:
```bash frame="none"
/component Button
```
And `$ARGUMENTS` will be replaced with `Button`.
You can also access individual arguments using positional parameters:
- `$1` - First argument
- `$2` - Second argument
- `$3` - Third argument
- And so on...
For example:
```md title=".opencode/command/create-file.md"
---
description: Create a new file with content
---
Create a file named $1 in the directory $2
with the following content: $3
```
Run the command:
```bash frame="none"
/create-file config.json src "{ \"key\": \"value\" }"
```
This replaces:
- `$1` with `config.json`
- `$2` with `src`
- `$3` with `{ "key": "value" }`
---
### Shell output
Use _!`command`_ to inject [bash command](/docs/tui#bash-commands) output into your prompt.
For example, to create a custom command that analyzes test coverage:
```md title=".opencode/command/analyze-coverage.md"
---
description: Analyze test coverage
---
Here are the current test results:
!`npm test`
Based on these results, suggest improvements to increase coverage.
```
Or to review recent changes:
```md title=".opencode/command/review-changes.md"
---
description: Review recent changes
---
Recent git commits:
!`git log --oneline -10`
Review these changes and suggest any improvements.
```
Commands run in your project's root directory and their output becomes part of the prompt.
---
### File references
Include files in your command using `@` followed by the filename.
```md title=".opencode/command/review-component.md"
---
description: Review component
---
Review the component in @src/components/Button.tsx.
Check for performance issues and suggest improvements.
```
The file content gets included in the prompt automatically.
---
## Options
Let's look at the configuration options in detail.
---
### Template
The `template` option defines the prompt that will be sent to the LLM when the command is executed.
```json title="opencode.json"
{
"command": {
"test": {
"template": "Run the full test suite with coverage report and show any failures.\nFocus on the failing tests and suggest fixes."
}
}
}
```
This is a **required** config option.
---
### Description
Use the `description` option to provide a brief description of what the command does.
```json title="opencode.json"
{
"command": {
"test": {
"description": "Run tests with coverage"
}
}
}
```
This is shown as the description in the TUI when you type in the command.
---
### Agent
Use the `agent` config to optionally specify which [agent](/docs/agents) should execute this command.
If this is a [subagent](/docs/agents/#subagents) the command will trigger a subagent invocation by default.
To disable this behavior, set `subtask` to `false`.
```json title="opencode.json"
{
"command": {
"review": {
"agent": "plan"
}
}
}
```
This is an **optional** config option. If not specified, defaults to your current agent.
---
### Subtask
Use the `subtask` boolean to force the command to trigger a [subagent](/docs/agents/#subagents) invocation.
This useful if you want the command to not pollute your primary context and will **force** the agent to act as a subagent,
even if `mode` is set to `primary` on the [agent](/docs/agents) configuration.
```json title="opencode.json"
{
"command": {
"analyze": {
"subtask": true
}
}
}
```
This is an **optional** config option.
---
### Model
Use the `model` config to override the default model for this command.
```json title="opencode.json"
{
"command": {
"analyze": {
"model": "anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"
}
}
}
```
This is an **optional** config option.
---
## Built-in
opencode includes several built-in commands like `/init`, `/undo`, `/redo`, `/share`, `/help`; [learn more](/docs/tui#commands).
:::note
Custom commands can override built-in commands.
:::
If you define a custom command with the same name, it will override the built-in command.
