# Command Generate

Write one canonical slash command from intent and render it per confirmed host tool that supports commands, or once as a plugin source.

## Actions

| #   | Action            | Role                                      | Input        |
| --- | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ------------ |
| 01  | `capture-command` | Capture the goal, location, and arguments | user request |
| 02  | `write-command`   | Write the command file per supported tool | the goal     |
| 03  | `validate`        | Check each command file                   | the files    |

Run the actions in order, `01 → 03`, and run each action's `## Test` before the next.
Before running an action, read its file in `actions/`, not only the table or assets.
