Execution Steps

1. Parse Input

Extract from user input:

• Description: What the command should accomplish

2. Analyze Requirements

Determine command type based on description:

• Initialization: Read docs, establish context
• Pre-development: Read guidelines, check dependencies
• Code check: Validate code quality and guideline compliance
• Recording: Record progress, questions, structure changes
• Generation: Generate docs, code templates

3. Generate Command Content

Based on command type, generate appropriate content:

Simple command (1-3 lines):

Concise instruction describing what to do

Complex command (with steps):

# Command Title

Command description

## Steps

### 1. First Step

4. Create Files

Create in both directories:

• .cursor/commands/trellis-<command-name>.md
• .claude/commands/trellis/<command-name>.md

5. Confirm Creation
