Slash Commands

Slash commands are shortcuts you can run in Claude Code. Type the command, and Claude executes it immediately—loading the skill if needed and running the appropriate operations.

The tdn plugin provides two slash commands:

Command	Purpose
/tdn:prime	Load context about your tasks, projects, and areas
/tdn:today	Show what needs attention today

/tdn:prime

Primes your Claude Code session with full context about your task system. Use this at the start of a session when you want Claude to understand your current situation before you start asking questions.

What It Does

1. Loads the task management skill
2. Runs tdn config --ai to find your vault configuration
3. Runs tdn context to get an overview of all areas, projects, and tasks
4. Reports back with a summary: “Got it… X areas, Y active projects…”

When to Use It

Run /tdn:prime when:

• Starting a new Claude Code session where you’ll be working with tasks
• You want Claude to have full context before helping with planning
• Claude seems confused about your task setup and needs a refresh

Example

> /tdn:prime

Got it... 5 areas, 12 active projects... 🚀

After priming, Claude knows about your areas, projects, and their relationships. You can ask questions like “What’s going on with the Q1 Planning project?” without needing to explain what that project is.

Tip

You don’t need to prime every session. If you’re just asking a quick question like “What’s due today?”, the /tdn:today command is more efficient.

/tdn:today

Shows all tasks that need attention today. This is the command you’ll probably use most often—a quick check of what’s on your plate.

What It Does

Shows tasks that need attention today: in-progress work, overdue items, things due or scheduled for today, and tasks that just became actionable (defer-until equals today). Completed, dropped, deferred, and archived tasks are filtered out.

See tdn today for the full breakdown.

Example

> /tdn:today

## Today's Tasks

### In Progress
- Review quarterly report (Q1 Planning) — due tomorrow

### Due Today
- Call dentist — Health

### Scheduled Today
- Team standup notes — Work
- Review PR #123 — Website Redesign

Taking Action

After running /tdn:today, you can ask Claude to act on any task:

• “Mark the dentist call as done”
• “Reschedule the team standup to tomorrow”
• “What’s the context for the quarterly report task?”

Claude has the skill loaded and knows about the tasks, so it can handle follow-up requests immediately.

Adding New Commands

As the plugin evolves, new slash commands may be added. Check /plugins in Claude Code to see currently available commands, or visit the plugin repository for updates.
