This project was made with Claude Code!

I know that sounds bad but as far as I've tested it, it worked. Truly a miracle for vibecoded projects.

Adding a shortcut

Use /scm add to save a shortcut — wrap the command in two pluses and add a name after. Example: /scm add +reallylongcommandyoudontwanttotype+ shortname

Running a shortcut

Type /sc shortname to run it. Tab completion shows all your saved shortcuts.

Editing a shortcut

/scm edit shortname +/newcommand+ updates an existing shortcut without deleting it.

Deleting shortcuts**

/scm delete shortname removes one shortcut. /scm delete all wipes all your shortcuts at once.

Aliases

/scm alias shortname aliasname creates a second name pointing to the same command. /scm alias delete aliasname removes just the alias. /scm alias delete aliasname related removes the alias and every other shortcut pointing to the same command.

Listing shortcuts

/scm list shows all your shortcuts. /scm list shortname shows what a specific shortcut does.

Per-player

Every player has their own shortcut list. Your shortcuts are private to you and persist across restarts.
