# Command Patterns Skill

Expert patterns for generating production-quality Claude Code commands.

## Core Requirements

1. **Multiple Action Modes** - Never single-purpose commands
   - `analyze` - Deep analysis
   - `optimize` - Performance improvements
   - `fix` - Automated remediation
   - `monitor` - Continuous watching

2. **Real, Working Code** - Every example must be executable
3. **Intelligent Recommendations** - Prioritized, actionable insights
4. **Interactive Intelligence** - Guide users to optimal solutions
5. **Visual Outputs** - Include diagrams/charts when helpful

## Advanced Patterns

### Progressive Disclosure
```bash
# Simple for beginners
claude /your-command

# Power user with full control
claude /your-command analyze --depth=comprehensive --output=json
```

### Safe Automation with Rollbacks
```bash
apply_change() {
  # Snapshot current state
  kubectl get deployment $1 -o yaml > "/tmp/rollback-$$.yaml"

  # Apply change
  kubectl patch deployment $1 --patch "$2"

  # Monitor and rollback if needed
  if ! monitor_health $1 60; then
    kubectl apply -f "/tmp/rollback-$$.yaml"
  fi
}
```
