Slash Commands

Bab registers MCP prompts that appear as slash commands in Claude Code and other MCP clients. Type /bab: to see them in the autocomplete menu.

Available Commands

Command	Tool	Description
/bab:chat	chat	Chat and brainstorm ideas with an AI model
/bab:challenge	challenge	Challenge a claim or assumption with critical thinking
/bab:think	thinkdeep	Deep multi-stage reasoning for complex problems
/bab:review	codereview	Systematic code review with expert validation
/bab:debug	debug	Systematic debugging and root cause analysis
/bab:analyze	analyze	Comprehensive code and architecture analysis
/bab:refactor	refactor	Code refactoring opportunity analysis
/bab:testgen	testgen	Generate comprehensive test suites with edge cases
/bab:secaudit	secaudit	Security audit with vulnerability assessment
/bab:docgen	docgen	Generate code documentation with complexity analysis
/bab:tracer	tracer	Trace execution flow or map dependencies
/bab:precommit	precommit	Validate changes before committing
/bab:planner	planner	Interactive sequential planning with revision
/bab:consensus	consensus	Multi-model consensus through structured debate
/bab:delegate	delegate	Delegate a task to a CLI agent (Codex, Copilot, OpenCode)

Usage

Slash commands accept free-text arguments after the command name:

/bab:chat what are the tradeoffs of Redis vs Memcached?
/bab:review check the authentication middleware for security issues
/bab:delegate codex implement the UserService.delete() method
/bab:secaudit audit the payment processing module
/bab:consensus should we use GraphQL or REST for the new API?

If no arguments are provided, the agent will ask for input.

How It Works

Slash commands use the standard MCP prompts protocol (prompts/list + prompts/get). When you invoke a slash command, the MCP client receives a prompt message that instructs the agent to call the corresponding bab tool with your input.

• Simple commands (chat, challenge) pass your input directly as the prompt
• Workflow commands (review, debug, analyze, etc.) set up a multi-step investigation loop
• Consensus routes your question through multiple AI models for structured debate
• Delegate parses agent name from your input and dispatches to the CLI agent

Compatibility

Slash commands work with any MCP client that supports the prompts protocol:

• Claude Code (/bab:chat)
• Claude Desktop
• Other MCP-compatible editors and tools
