# Example Command (Skill Format)
This demonstrates the `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` layout for user-invoked slash commands. It is functionally identical to the legacy `commands/example-command.md` format — both are loaded the same way; only the file layout differs.
## Arguments
The user invoked this with: $ARGUMENTS
## Instructions
When this skill is invoked:
1. Parse the arguments provided by the user
2. Perform the requested action using allowed tools
3. Report results back to the user
## Frontmatter Options Reference
Skills in this layout support these frontmatter fields:
- **name**: Skill identifier (matches directory name)
- **description**: Short description shown in /help
- **argument-hint**: Hints for command arguments shown to user
- **allowed-tools**: Pre-approved tools for this skill (reduces permission prompts)
- **model**: Override the model (e.g., "haiku", "sonnet", "opus")
## Example Usage
```
/example-command my-argument
/example-command arg1 arg2
```
